Summer at Roundfield Farm

We've been hard at work on our website these past few months. This week, you get the first glimpse of our work-in-progress. We'll follow up next week with a break down of the new site, how it works, and just what it is we're bringing to Hammertown. In the meantime, bear with us as we iron out some kinks.

Read on for your weekly run down.

And oh yeah...THINK RAIN!!

New Pyrrha and Satya Jewelry at Hammertown

Every once in a while, we find unique and wonderful companies we can relate to on many levels. At first, we are attracted to their work....in this case, beautiful pieces of handcrafted jewelry. Then, once we meet the artists behind the work, we realize other similar sensibilities regarding the way our businesses relate to and care about our communities and the environment.

Well...our show finally opened this past weekend so now we have most of our days off. Now the real fun begins...exploring the rest of Martha's Vineyard.
