We'll reopen the farmstand in April, 2020. We are closed on Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and the day after Christmas. On July 4 and Christmas Eve, we close at noon. After our post-Christmas sale, we close for the season .
We raise vegetables and fruits on about 65 acres of land in Edgartown, some of it our own and the rest leased from neighbors. We also have Simon and Robyn's farm in West Tisbury, our cattle operation off North Road in Chilmark on land owned by Dan and Meg and more rented acres in West Tisbury. All in all, this makes up about 130 acres of managed land in nearly 20 locations across the three towns.

How do I warm my carry-out entrée? What if I froze it?
Entrées from our farm kitchen are fully cooked and need only 15-18 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. If you have frozen the entree first, defrost it in the refrigerator overnight. We cannot recommend any other way of safely defrosting frozen foods.
We are not equipped to provide catering services such as cheese plates, vegetable platters or family-sized dishes.
Yes, to qualified customers. Please see our Wholesale page for details and ordering information.
Just look for the yellow signs. Everything we grow is identified on a yellow background, while produce from other sources has signs with white backgrounds.
We are open daily, with shorter hours on Sunday. The farmstand is closed on Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. For current hours of operation, please check the bottom of any page on our website.
Our cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens are raised in different locations, separate from the farmstand, and are not accessible for visiting.
We are looking at home delivery starting in 2019, once our new vegetable barn is completed.

Morning Glory Farm is not licensed to sell alcoholic beverages. There are package stores in Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, including one on Airport Road off West Tisbury Road.
We do not have a fresh fish counter. Smoked fish is stocked in the dairy case.
I love your farmstand, but it is often so crowded. What should I do?
Our farmstand does come to feel awfully small in the peak of the summer when we have so much of our produce in season. The slowest times at the stand are usually between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., and mid-afternoon on good beach days. Thank you for being patient; many people will attest that with five registers working, things can move quite briskly.
We keep on farming! There's something to harvest nearly all year round. Many farm chores get pushed into the slower winter months, like maintenance of our outbuildings, tractors and machines. Our pigs, cows and chickens work hard all year round. Winter is a special time on a farm: time for reflection, evaluation, and planning for the coming season. Surprising to many people is that the first tomato seeds are planted in mid-January and the greenhouses are active by March 1.
What time of year should I apply for a job at Morning Glory Farm?
January, February and March are best: This is when we are still in the office, placing seed orders and making all the interviews and phone calls to fill our employment roster for the year. We try to have all of our positions filled by April 1, although there can still be openings at that time. For on-farm housing, apply early, as our spaces fill up fast and go to the best candidates. For more information, please see our drop-down menu from the Jobs tab above.
