Deed Restricted for a Farming Future

"DEED RESTRICTED FOR A FARMING FUTURE"

Vineyard Gazette, 2011

"Lots of roses. That’s what Simon Athearn and his wife, Robyn, are envisioning for their first spring garden next year in their new house in West Tisbury. But the roses won’t be the only things they will tend. With the house, Simon also bought the abutting 21 acres of farmland that his family’s business, Morning Glory Farm, has used for hay and various vegetable crops since the 1990s. And now with a unique conservation restriction, the farmhouse and farmland will remain in the Athearn family forever."
