Kombucha was a hobby, then a passion, then a side hustle, now is my business. Here are a couple more passions of mine that are now businesses:

Beekeeping - for the love of bees. I’ve maintained colonies as a hobbyist for over ten years now, and learned what it takes to get them to survive fickle island winters. It started with a desire for health and help with my seasonal allergies, then interest in pollination to increase garden output and overall health of the ecosystem became more important to me than honey harvest. Most of all I’m driven by fascination and stewardship of bee colonies. I am available to install and maintain beehives at your island property, but I don’t guarantee honey, as I only harvest honey if it is not detrimental to the colony. For example, if there is drought, there will be no honey, and we may actually have to feed bees. Contact Nina for details. Please order bees by end of February for installation in April or May, though it may be possible for bee packages and nucs to be purchased after Feb (for May or June installation).

Honey - I only offer honey for sale if I can harvest extra from my own hives in Vineyard Haven that the bees don’t need. Find me at the West Tisbury Farmers Market during the summer, if I have honey I’ll bring some.

Dark chocolate - We all mourned the closing of Chilmark Chocolates. On the positive side, it pushed me to learn how to make my own chocolates, starting with my favorite butter crunch. I prefer pecans to almonds, so that is what I use. Contains local honey!
