their plans, she recalled, an audience member stood up and suggested he just “give them what they want,” because it was a great idea. The open-house attendance on Saturday confirmed what the founders have learned about their adopted town: “Everybody wants [Marble House] to be part of their life and to be great,” Schapiro said. “This has been a private property for hundreds of years, but it’s also been here for the public, even though they didn’t have access to it.” Within Marble House, another batch of residents arrives every few weeks to create new relationships, fostered by mutual creative stimulation and by the agrarian beauty of the setting. Epstein and Schapiro, too, have found a serendipitous community with their small staff: farmer Elliott, chef/innkeeper Connie Sturgis and program director Sarah Walko. “I feel completely blessed,” Epstein said simply. Looking to the future, she and Schapiro see the Marble House Project, like its gardens, growing organically. Indeed, this place appears to be fertile soil for artists and farmers alike. “It’s all so new,” Schapiro said. “There are so many things to think about.” m
