The Voice is an online magazine that cultivates stories in partnership with individuals, organizations and businesses. We work with people to discover, produce and publish stories — on health, people, arts, food, farming, land, energy, housing — as part of a larger grassroots effort to strengthen the island community. The result is a publication that celebrates, reinforces and participates in the aspirations and activities of islanders.

Summer Thoughts: Rose Hip Purée from "Edible Wild Plants"
illustration by Linsey Lee
Edible Wild Plants, by Linsey Lee is quite a timeless book. It's a work of cultural art and a cultural artifact. This excerpt (calling the warmth of summer) focusses on a recipe for Rose Hip Purée by Lynn Weber.
Doug Brush and Jeff Munroe at Flat Point Poultry are deeply committed to expanding the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model from produce to poultry. They believe it is possible to build a business and a relationship with the community where poultry and their commitment can help make the local farm central to our lives here.

Oral History: Marguerite Cottle, "I Like to Think Ahead..."
This post was contributed by Linsey Lee
and The Martha's Vineyard Museum
"I grew up on the South Road. My father was John Bassett. Oh, we had quite a farm. It was at least a hundred acres. It was on both sides of the road. My father had cows, and the sheep, and oxen and the horse. We had ducks. There were turkeys. He used to sell turkeys, ship them off-Island Thanksgiving and Christmas. I remember him crating them up. I suppose Bart Mayhew picked them up and took them to the steamship wharf.
