Nat’s Farm

Hours: Dawn to Dusk

Nat’s Farm, a 56-acre property in West Tisbury, was conserved through the joint efforts of Sheriff’s Meadow and the Vineyard Open Land Foundation. The Langmuirs, the original owners, worked with VOLF to create a limited development plan, resulting in 27 house lots and 56 acres of open space. The open space was donated to Sheriff’s Meadow for perpetual management. Nat’s Farm is one of many instances where conservation groups have cooperated to conserve the Vineyard landscape.

Nat’s Farm is one of a number of Sheriff’s Meadow properties that are blessed with prime agricultural soils. Portions of the property are currently leased to Mermaid Farm, Grey Barn Farm and Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center.

The public is invited to enjoy Nat’s Farm on a walking and equestrian trail that loops around the entire north pasture. Beginning at the trailhead on Old County Road, the trail also provides a good link to the paved bicycle paths of the abutting State Forest.
