Mermaid Farm is a dairy and vegetable farm in Chilmark, Massachusetts on Martha’s Vineyard.

According to the Martha’s Vineyard Times, “Caitlin Jones and Allan Healy established their farm on Middle Road in the mid 1990s. They began simply, with tomatoes their specialty. As their family grew so did production on the farm. In 2002, Allan purchased two milk cows to start a raw milk dairy. Produce is still a part of their farm stand offerings, however they are most known for their tasty raw milk, cream-line yogurt, mango lassies, and a variety of cheeses. They also offer lamb, whey-fed pork, beef and eggs. They farm additional leased pastures, hay fields, and a vegetable plot offsite. Both Allan and Caitlin take a low impact, resourceful approach to farm production.”

There’s lots of great articles on Mermaid Farm and most deal with how delicious their cheese is (and they are not lying-it’s amazing!) but we’ve spent time on this farm around a woodstove with yarn drying from their sheep and it was the best afternoon ever. Their farmstand is one of our favorite stands on the Vineyard.
