Ray Owen is the antithesis of corporate American farming. He is a small farmer’s small farmer—a man who will give you all the time you need, and not because he has a surplus. He gladly stops to share every last kernel of the joys and challenges that define a lifetime of farming, having spent the last thirty years coaxing an impressive yield from an island not known for its agricultural powers, or fertile soil for that matter.

An Islander’s ARCTIC ADVENTURE

N Magazine — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 23:28:48 +0000

When Marjan Shirzad is not serving as the Nantucket Historical Association’s Director of Outreach and Special Programs, she’s exploring the world. Her passport bears stamps from Pakistan, Iran, Oman, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, India, China and countries all over South America and Europe. If Antarctica had customs, she’d have a stamp from there too. This past spring, Shirzad journeyed out into the High Canadian Arctic with a group of elite climate scientists. Joined by world-renowned adventure photographer, Martin Hartley, Shirzad takes us onto the ice.
