West Tisbury is one of the oldest English settlements on the island. While originally part of Vineyard Haven, West Tisbury became its own entity in 1892, and has a rich agricultural history, which remains to this day. Its rural charm distinguishes it from more populous “down-island” locations and provides for a quieter, back-to-nature backdrop for a summer rental or year round home.

It should come as no surprise then that the popular West Tisbury Farmers Market is one of the longest running farmers markets on Martha’s Vineyard, offering visitors and locals alike a wide range of locally grown produce, flowers, fresh baked goods, handmade jams and jellies and crafts, dairy and meat products. Additionally, the West Tisbury Farmers Market offers live entertainment from local musicians, and demonstrations of rural pastimes.

The farmers market embraces the culture of community that makes West Tisbury special where farmers and artisans alike are willing to share their craft and the heritage they help sustain.
While you are likely to find goods that include fresh cranberries at the farmers market, enhancing the experience with a visit to a local cranberry bog is a must. An important part of West Tisbury and the island's history, cranberries have been grown in the area since the 19th century.
