Peace and Joy!

hen I first moved from Boston to Cape Cod about 15 years ago, I

remember having a difficult time adjusting from the buzz of city life to a slower pace. But after experiencing many summers of traffic and crowds, you tend to welcome the peaceful moments. It’s a time to reflect, reset and rejuvenate. I enjoy running on empty bike paths, walking the beaches when no one is around and exploring wooded trails and secluded spots.

Speaking of hidden places, one of my favorite areas on Main Street is a serene courtyard behind Lily Pulitzer, where The Blue Coral restaurant and Snowy Owl Coffee Roasters meet. The courtyard turned out to be the inspiration for this issue’s fashion feature. I scouted out four other secret locations, including the Godfrey Windmill, Little Mill Pond, Packet Wharf and the library at Chatham Bars Inn. We photographed these scenes at the beginning of September starting in the late afternoon. We were fortunate to end the night with a sky painted with pink and red hues. Over the years, I’ve learned to appreciate the Cape’s ever-changing palette!

If you’re like me, you might be scrambling for ideas on what to serve at a holiday gathering or what to bring to a dinner party. As you flip through the book, two food features will help make your party planning easier. We had a blast setting up a New Year’s Eve-themed fondue celebration at the Chatham Cheese Shop. In another food-related feature, Gustare Oils & Vinegars put together a delectable charcuterie board, created festive drinks and made streusel stuffed apples with their products. Of course, to make an informed

WRAPPED IN WARMTH A Great Yarn Helps Cape Cod’s Homeless, One Blanket at a Time Written by LISA LEIGH CONNORS | Photography by JULIA CUMES

If you drive by A Great Yarn on the first Monday of May, you’ll notice a burst of color: Handmade blankets cover the outside of the store, as well as the front lawn.

Welcome to the “yarn bomb”—a celebration of its annual Knit-aThon.

For the fourth consecutive year, A Great Yarn in Chatham teamed up with the Housing Assistance Corporation (HAC) in Hyannis to make blankets for the Cape’s homeless population. In February through April of 2019, participants created 215 blankets for the homeless (beating the previous year’s mark of 194 blankets). All of the blankets and 100 percent of the donations—more than $1,100— were distributed to four homeless shelters on Cape Cod. During the Knit-A-Thon in 2019, 500 individuals participated in the event and panels were mailed in from 10 different states.

Here’s how it works: Individuals are asked to knit or crochet long panels, about one foot wide and six feet long, which are then sewn together and turned into blankets by the shop’s staff and volunteers from the community. Four panels make a blanket. Every year, A

A Great Yarn owners Ron and Mary Weishaar (center) and volunteers from the community celebrated the end of the Knit-A-Thon last May by “yarn bombing” the exterior of the shop with blankets.

day, Ron and Mary deliver the blankets to the Housing Assistance Corporation, with the help of Chatham resident Anne Van Vleck, chief development officer at HAC. Reading about homelessness on Cape Cod—and learning how some people were living in the woods with nothing to keep them warm—inspired A Great Yarn co-owner Mary Weishaar to start the Knit-a-Thon in the winter of 2016.

“The panels can be made by any knitter, even a novice knitter, which means that anyone can participate,” says A Great Yarn co-owner Ron Weishaar, adding he is always impressed by the colorful blankets. “This was a great team effort, and we’re very grateful for the 500 people who pitched in—and so are the homeless individuals and families on the Cape, who will be sleeping beneath the blankets everyone helped create.”

In 2020, the Knit-a-Thon will start in February and run through April 30. If interested in participating, please email info@agreatyarn.com or call 508-348-5605 for more details about the event and instructions for knitting the panels. A Great Yarn, 894 Main St., Chatham, agreatyarn.com.

BREWING ON THE B-SIDE

By MARJORIE NAYLOR PITTS Building on the success of Hangar B Eatery, located at Chatham Municipal Airport on George Ryder Road, owner Tracy Shields has partnered with longtime associate Kourtney Keil to embark on a new venture—B-Side Coffee Company, which offers a delicious selection of locally roasted organic and fairtrade coffee. “Since opening Hangar B nine years ago, we have poured a Papua New Guinea bean that was roasted here in Chatham,” says Shields, referring to The Art of Roasting coffee company. “When that roasting business became available, purchasing it seemed like a natural extension for us.” Some of B-Side’s most popular coffees include a light roast Ethiopian Guji Sakicha Honey; medium roasts Papua New Guinea and Colombia Sierra Nevada EP; dark roasts Guatemala Huehuetenango and Sumatra Mandheling; and a decaffeinated Mexican blend—with additional selections coming soon.

In addition to offering their coffee at Hangar B (and at Hangar B’s seasonal “Grab and Go” counter downstairs from the restaurant), B-Side Coffee is available at Chatham Village Market, Chatham Village Café and Bakery, as well as at several local inns and B&Bs, with special blends at Chatham Works and at Rory’s Market in Dennisport and Mashpee Commons. Look for B-Side’s customized vintage ’64 Shasta Airflyte camper trailer at local farmers markets, where they serve a rotating selection of hot, cold brew, and Nitro cold brew, as well as Hangar B’s famous potato buttermilk doughnuts. For off-Cape coffee lovers looking for a taste of Chatham, B-Side Coffee can also be purchased online, with a subscription service option to keep it brewing on the B-Side all year long!

Jim, Julie and Rick Penn celebrated Puritan Cape Cod’s 100th anniversary earlier this summer with balloons, special promotions and a limited edition collaboration with Cape Cod Beer.

A CENTURY OF CLOTHING

By LISA CAVANAUGH When 22-year-old Arthur Penn started as the shoe department manager at a new men’s clothing store in Plymouth in 1919, could he ever have imagined that his descendants would still be going strong, 100 years later?

Penn opened his original Puritan Cape Cod in Chatham in 1925, and it soon became a popular mainstay for both residents and visitors. “Our Chatham store was our very first location on Cape Cod, in the same building you’ll find it today,” says co-owner Rick Penn, grandson of Arthur Penn. “It’s truly incredible to have been a part of the Chatham community all these years.”

38

CHATHAM LIVING BY THE SEA | FALL - WINTER 2019

Puritan Cape Cod in Chatham (1951)

www.chathamlivingmag.com

The Chatham store was renowned not just for offering high-quality, classic clothes, but also for outfitting the local Coast Guard. During one of the Coast Guard’s most notable and heroic moments, the 1952 rescue of the crew of the shipwrecked SS Pendleton, Puritan store manager (and Penn cousin) Ben Shufro was called to the Coast Guard station where he spent all night measuring and fitting the wet and exhausted crew for new clothes. In fact, this connection was celebrated in 2012, when Puritan launched the Chatham Chino Company brand, with a USCG hurricane flag logo.

Over the years, three generations of the Penn Family have stayed true to their patriarch’s motto of “I’d rather make a friend than a sale” by offering exemplary customer service. “People today can shop anywhere, anyhow, any time of day. They choose to shop at Puritan because of the relationships they’ve built over the decades and the feeling they get when they walk into our stores,” says co-owner, Jim Penn, also a grandson of Arthur. Rick adds that they like to say that it’s not just their roots here on Cape Cod, but their branches. “You’ll find our stores on the Main Streets of Cape Cod—the community centers,” he says.

“We are overwhelmingly honored, proud, grateful and humbled all at the same time,” says Jim. “We are thankful for our customers, community and employees for helping us reach this momentous milestone. It’s hard to believe it’s been 100 years.”

AROUND TOWN

Tucked away in a nondescript industrial area of Chatham is a modern-day forge founded in 2005 and owned and operated by Richard “Rusty” Griffin. A selfdescribed “artist, blacksmith and sculptor,” Griffin uses a gas-fueled forge, tools and machines—some more than 100 years old—to create sculptural and functional work in forged steel, bronze and copper.

The artist is well known by collectors of knives and swords for his complicated Damascus steel-patterned blades with handles fashioned of petrified bog oak and hand-tooled leather cases. In addition to crafting beautiful sculptural railings and gates, Griffin’s recent projects for architects have included recreating an old wrought iron archway for an ancient stone wellhead for an Osterville estate and making a massive chandelier destined for a home in California.

Griffin was raised in Chatham by an artistic and musical family; his father, Richard, Sr., is a painter, musician and a co-founder of the Chatham Chorale. He received six years of classical training in fine art and illustration at The Art Institute of Boston and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. A job as a teaching assistant to a professor of sculpture who taught bronze casting proved to be a turning point: “It was then I realized I couldn’t sit at a desk all day as an illustrator. I wanted to work with my hands—I’ve always been attracted to three-dimensional and large-scale art.”

A complete 180-degree turn from a desk job, a blacksmith’s shop is a place of drama, danger, brute force and primal power—the stuff of myths and legends, gods and heroes. There’s the roar of the gas jets fueling the forge, and the rhythmic chugging of the 5,000-pound power hammer punctuated by the bell-like sound of the hammer striking the anvil (Griffin says it rings in the key of C). There’s the heat: When the metal in the forge is around 2,300 degrees, the surrounding air temperature is upwards of 130 degrees.

And there’s the ever-present danger of injury from burns and heavy equipment.

In this charged environment, the blacksmith’s movements must be quick, precise and alert to the visual cues from the heated metal itself. At slightly above 2,300 degrees, steel turns a yellowish white color that signals its plasticity, enabling it to be stretched and shaped like Play-Doh. If the steel gets too hot (around 2,500 degrees), it melts into a lava-like puddle.

a heavy sledgehammer to flatten the metal, while he uses a small hammer and tongs to shape it. Griffin choreographs the striker’s moves, pointing to where he should hit, and how hard or soft. The two must work perfectly in synch—an errant blow could be catastrophic.

Passionate about the integrity and history of his craft, Griffin considers himself a lifelong student and is constantly honing his skills at workshops with master blacksmiths around the country and in Europe. When asked about his future plans, Griffin mentions expanding his forge and teaching workshops.

Whatever direction he takes, Griffin finds satisfaction in knowing that he will be leaving something behind: “My work will be

DANCES WITH PETS

By LISA CAVANAUGH | Photography by KIM RODERIQUES Is your dog a dancer? Would your cat consider the cha cha? Is your rabbit ready to hip-hop?

Kim Roderiques—a Chatham photographer and author (“Dogs on Cape Cod”)—found the combination of dancers and pets irresistible, after local dance teacher Adam Spencer showed her a beautiful photo series of NYC Ballet dancers with dogs. “I told him we have to do this and make it unique and special for Cape Cod!” says Roderiques.

Already passionate about sharing her talents with local nonprofit organizations, Roderiques reached out to Monomoy Community Services, the MSPCA and a Chance to Dance—Adam in Chatham and Studio 878 Trust’s scholarship and training fund for young dance students with limited financial resources.

Roderiques settled on a photo book pairing all genres of dancers—including Irish stepdancing, tap, hip-hop, jazz, ballet and African dance—with their pets. Featuring the kinds of animals that are often at the MSPCA, the photos include dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, horses, ducks and goats, alongside their dancing counterparts.

“We have dancers as young as 3 or 4 all the way up to 80 years of age,” says Roderiques. “You will see that, once people are photographed next to animals, they just become their authentic selves.”

The project, “Pirouettes, Pliés and Pets: Cape Cod Poetry in Motion,” was funded by a generous grant from Rockland Trust, and all the proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit Monomoy Community Services, the MSCPA and a Chance to Dance. “It has been very touching photographing these dancers and their animals,” says Roderiques. “It’s indescribable!”

On Thursday, Dec. 12, from 6-8 p.m., The Chatham Orpheum Theater will screen an engaging documentary about the book, “Pirouettes, Pliés and Pets: Cape Cod Poetry in Motion.” The photo book and other merchandise will also be for sale.

THE FOUNDERS OF CHATHAM KELP ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF A NEW INDUSTRY. Written by R ACHEL AR ROYO

Photography by JA MIE BASSET T A ND R ICH AR D CURTISS

hree years ago, if you had told the three founders of Chatham Kelp—all of whom are longtime shellfishermen—they’d one day operate the largest kelp-focused farm in Massachusetts, they might not have believed you.

Founders Jamie Bassett, Carl Douglass and Richard Curtiss admit, at the time, they hadn’t given seaweed a second thought— as a crop or otherwise. But the fishing industry, amidst increased regulations and decreasing stocks, was changing, and the trio wanted to find another revenue stream to offset the slow winter months.

Originally, they looked into starting an oyster farm, but no grants were available in town. That’s when Carl did some research, and found GreenWave, a Connecticut-based nonprofit dedicated to training and supporting ocean farmers. “They are kind of an incubator for kelp,” he explains.

Already widely cultivated and consumed in Asia, kelp is a superfood, high in fiber and rich in vitamins and nutrients. It is also an ingredient in many everyday products, from toothpaste and shampoo to pharmaceuticals, according to NOAA, and has shown promise as a biofuel.

KELP FAR M

Last December, after three years of research, planning and a lengthy permitting process that included presenting plans to nine different committees, Chatham Kelp finally lowered five 200-foot lines seeded with sugar kelp spores into Nantucket sound, a half mile off Harding’s Beach in Chatham.

“We chose that area because it’s [better] protected from northeast winds,” says Jamie. It’s also dredged by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, leaving it devoid of eelgrass, a condition of their permit approval. If there is any eel grass anywhere near where we wanted to grow,” says Jamie, “it was a no go.”

Sugar kelp is native to the northeast Atlantic, and thrives in cold, swift-moving water. Its long golden brown strands, which bear a striking resemblance to lasagna noodles, can grow up to 15 feet in length. Sugar kelp is a sustainable, low-impact crop that requires no fertilizer, land use or freshwater resources to produce. And because it is a winter crop, it doesn’t interfere with commercial or recreational boating activities, making it ideal for Chatham’s shores.

Between December and May, Jamie, Richard and Carl made frequent boating trips to check on the new kelp farm. “The division of marine fisheries charged us with monitoring the kelp at least every two weeks. And we monitored it every week, weather dependent,” Jamie says. And, once a month, members of GreenWave would join them to provide additional support and onsite training.

Top: Chatham Kelp founders Richard Curtiss, Carl Douglass and Jamie Bassett.

Above: A spool of kelp seed is strung on a 200-foot line.

The forward-thinking kelp farmers also invited chefs out onto the boat to visit the farm. “We like to take the chefs out on the boat, have them clip it off the line

CHATHAM LIVING BY THE SEA | FALL - WINTER 2019

www.chathamlivingmag.com

and cook it,” Richard says. “Then get to feel a part of it,” Carl adds.

Chef Anthony Cole, executive chef at Chatham Bars Inn, was one of the first chefs to sample the very first harvest. “It was great. I got to go check out the farm,” says Cole, who is always on the hunt for fresh, local and sustainable ingredients to serve restaurant guests. Surprisingly unsalty, sugar kelp has a very subtle flavor and a bit of a crunch to it when eaten raw, Chef Cole explains.

And when boiled for 2.5 to 3 minutes, it goes from a dull brown to a vibrant green. “It still has a bite [to it], he says, “but isn’t chewy.” Because sugar kelp doesn’t have a ton of flavor, “It’s all about the texture and nutritional value,” says Chef Cole, and what you marinate and season it with to accent its natural flavor profile.

This summer, if you were lucky enough to attend one of the Chatham Bars Inn farm-to-table dinner events or dined at The Veranda you might’ve spotted sugar kelp on the menu; a refreshing tuna crudo with cucumber, sugar kelp and miso-chili vinaigrette was featured on the Veranda’s lunch menu in June.

Sugar kelp from Chatham Kelp also has been featured in dishes prepared by Chef Michael D. Ceraldi, chef-owner of Ceraldi, a seasonal, waterfront restaurant in Wellfleet that creates seven-course prix fixe dinners using local ingredients. “I saw them on Instagram,” says Chef Ceraldi, about discovering Chatham Kelp. “Our restaurant is based on what’s locally done. So when I find a new product that happens to be local I get very excited,” he says.

He has since used sugar kelp in a variety of ways.

He’s pureed it and added it to pasta to create a kelp pasta with seafood; made a kelp salad with red onion, scallions and sesame oil; crafted crackers from dried kelp and served with tuna tartare; and, for a dinner he cooked for the James Beard Foundation in New York City in May, he shredded sugar kelp, put it into a dehydrator and created a kelp nori that he used as a garnish for a well-received ceviche salad.

KELP FAR M

For those who’d prefer to drink their sugar kelp, you might soon have the opportunity. Rob Brosofsky of Shoal Hope Ciderworks, whose locally made hard ciders can be found across Massachusetts and on tap at Cape Cod Beer in Hyannis, is working with Chatham Kelp to create a hard cider with kelp. Based on a beer-making technique called “dry hopping,” Brosofsky dehydrates the kelp and adds it to the base brew once the fermentation process is complete to infuse with flavor. The kelp brew, says Brosofsky, “has a subtle, briny, beachy kind of aroma and flavor. It’s light. And to me, it’s just like being at the beach. I could taste it. I could smell it.”

In its first season, Chatham Kelp produced 500 pounds of sugar kelp. Next year the three founders would like to at least double production, and have been given the means to do so with a permit that allows for up to 350 lines in the water. “We are excited about [the future],” says Jamie, who, with his co-founders, hopes to one day open a processing facility and expand the business to give other local shellfisherman who are in the same boat as them an At top: Richard Curtiss and Courtney Boyd Myers of Akua Kelp Jerky visit the farm.

Bob Zaremba and Danielle Jeanloz’s love of antiques, maps and travel inspired them to open Maps of Antiquity in Chatham nearly 15 years ago.

he print drawers and bins at Maps of Antiquity are bursting with potential discoveries. Located in a restored 18th-century full Cape, the unique retail shop houses a fascinating and encyclopedic collection of more than 20,000 antique maps from around the world, as well as vintage postcards, celestial maps and nautical charts. The average customer spends about an hour browsing the collections.

“We’re not a walk in/walk out kind of place,” says Bob Zaremba, who owns Maps of Antiquity with his wife, Danielle Jeanloz. “Ninety percent of the people coming in to our store realize they want to be here.”

Zaremba and Jeanloz both grew up in academic households—surrounded by maps—and each followed an indirect path to their current business. Zaremba, who has a Ph.D. in Botany and worked for The Nature Conservancy, used early maps in his dissertation research to document changes in the form of barrier beaches. Jeanloz spent 25 years with American Airlines before becoming the executive director of the Chatham Chamber of Commerce, and most recently, executive director of the Atwood Museum. The couple’s love of antiques propelled them into a secondary business, which evolved into Maps of Antiquity, run full time

by Zaremba.

“I find maps and the map business enjoyable because maps offer a fascinating intersection of history, technology, art and politics,” says Zaremba, who sells antique maps ranging from the 16th to late 19th centuries, a time when maps were works of art and printed from wood blocks or hand-engraved copper and steel plates.

Inside the shop, you’ll find a Cape Cod and New England room dedicated solely to maps and nautical charts from the region, along with a complete collection of town maps of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Prices vary from well under $50 for reproductions, up to many thousands, with the average price around $130. The business also specializes in framing and offers restoration services. A well-designed website contributes to 40 percent of their business.

People collect maps for many reasons. Maps satisfy our basic need to navigate our way through the world and help satisfy curiosity about our place in the universe. The earliest known maps are of the constellations, painted on the walls

MAPS

of the caves of Lascaux more than 16,000 years ago. Maps can also stimulate our imagination and transport us to make-believe places like Stevenson’s Treasure Island and Tolkien’s Middleearth. According to Zaremba, there has been a renewed interest in maps and map collecting— even among young adults—thanks to the advent of Google Maps and websites like Ancestry.com.

“People are always coming in asking for maps of ancestral countries or regions,” he says.

Zaremba advises would-be collectors to “buy what you like, what catches your eye and piques your imagination.” Some collectors specialize in a particular genre like nautical, celestial or regional maps, for example, or the Caribbean, the Dakotas or Tierra del Fuego.

Among the more sought-after maps, according to Zaremba, is one from the early 18th century showing California as an island, and the “gold standard” of Cape Cod maps, a 60” x 60” tax map from 1858 depicting every building on the Cape. Zaremba recounts how one man acquired “the bug” after paying $5 for a map at a yard sale and discovered later it was a valuable 1580 map of Seville, Spain. The closest to an “Antiques Roadshow” moment occurred a few years ago when Zaremba made a house visit to a Falmouth home and discovered a 1740s New England map.

He sold it on the homeowner’s behalf for $12,000.

Clients of Maps of Antiquity include museums, and businesses like inns and professional offices.

Decorators also use maps to great effect in room settings, especially dens and studies. And increasingly, maps are perceived as great gift items for occasions like weddings and graduations; one popular wedding present is a framed map of where the couple met.

Jeanloz recalls studying maps as a child and dreaming of faraway places. Her Swiss parents traveled extensively and maps adorned the walls of her home. “During my career in travel,” says Jeanloz, “little did I know that this passion would turn into owning over 20,000 maps!”

CHATHAM CANDY MANOR FINDING THEIR SWEET SPOT

Young married couple Robbie Carroll and Paige Piper are the new owners of the Chatham Candy Manor.

While keeping 60-plus years of traditions intact at the iconic and beloved Chatham Candy Manor, new owners and married couple Robbie Carroll and Paige Piper—both graduates of Bentley University—hope to make their own mark on the business, establishing new traditions and broadening its online presence.

With the sun setting on their first full summer season at the helm, the entrepreneurial couple is eager to apply their business and marketing expertise to satisfy sweet-toothed patrons both near and far during all the seasons to come. While the shop remains open year-round (closed only on Christmas), seasonal visitors can also get their Candy Manor fix through their recently updated online store. “We really want to communicate with our customers in new ways—not just in the summer, but year-round via the internet,” says Carroll.

When longtime patrons hear the news of the change of ownership, some express concern. “You see the panic in people’s eyes,” says Carroll, “and they say things like, ‘Nothing’s changing, right?’” The

couple is quick to allay those fears, assuring customers that Candy Manor’s unique recipes, quality products and customer service will remain as exceptional as ever, as will the staff, most of whom have been with the business for 10 years or more. “We can’t say enough about the staff here,” adds Paige. “They are so integral to Candy Manor’s success in the past and also moving forward.”

Robbie’s respect and nostalgic appreciation of Candy Manor comes from his long association with the muchrevered shop. “My mom has worked here for about 40 years, so I grew up sneaking into the back of the Candy Manor at night as a kid,” says Carroll, with a laugh.

“Later, when I was in high school and college, I worked here making fudge—it was great.” Piper, while having

grown up in Maine, quickly developed an appreciation for the special place that Candy Manor holds in the local community and beyond. “Candy Manor is so established and has such a rich culture,” says Piper.

“Being able to be a part of it and also add our touch to it is really cool.”

With the holiday season fast approaching, Carroll and Piper plan to continue long-established traditions at the shop, such as the candy cane-making demonstrations.

“People love seeing the whole process of making them right in the shop, with the little song that goes along with it,” says Piper. The couple has also introduced a Candy Manor Advent Calendar, featuring a select handdipped chocolate for each day of December leading up to Christmas. “It’s so much fun,” Robbie says with a smile. “It’s something very special and unique.” A sweet spot indeed.

AN INGENIOUS YANKEE SWAP

Gift-givers in Chatham need not worry about the transition taking place at Yankee Ingenuity, as founding owner Jon Vaughan and his wife, Sharon Hayes, pass the reins to their niece and longtime employee, Michelle Millett. Vaughan was just 26 years old when he started the business more than 48 years ago, originally focusing on antique restoration and sales. Gradually morphing into the renowned gallery and gift Mecca it is today, Yankee Ingenuity has delighted generations of locals and visitors alike with its eclectic array of unique items, from the whimsical to the ingeniously practical.

Reflecting on the transition of ownership, Hayes, who has worked at Yankee Ingenuity for more than 33 years, explains that the process started well over a year ago. “Michelle has been employed with us for 15 years, and she’s been the manager for 12 of those years, so it was time to do something more formal.”

Fisherman’s Daughter

Taylor Brown, owner of Fisherman’s Daughter, an eclectic boutique on Main Street, creates clothing and home décor designs that echo her childhood. “I grew up on a fishing pier,” says Brown, “watching my dad bait his gear and unload his daily catch.” When her mother spread out the fishing nets to dry, Brown was fascinated by the sea urchins and other creatures that fell out of the nets. “There were lots of quirky and different things to be inspired by,” she remembers.

Her lineage also includes a grandmother who was a seamstress and one who ran a flower stand. Brown spent a lot of time hand-stitching embroidery and arranging bouquets when she was younger.

At Fisherman’s Daughter, owner Taylor Brown sells her own designs as well as clothing and jewelry from 50 other artisans and producers.

108

CHATHAM LIVING BY THE SEA | FALL - WINTER 2019

She began designing headbands and children’s clothing after high school. At Cape Cod Community College, she took hand-dyeing and screenprinting classes. In 1999, she opened her retail store featuring an ever-changing selection of ocean-conscious apparel and swimwear, as well as accents for the home.

“I classify my look as a twist on the classic beach resort vibe,” says Brown, who designs women’s clothing, kids’ fashions and some fishermen wear.

“It’s versatile, comfortable and elegant.

“I’m inspired by everything, so I try to do all of it.

I used to do all [the] cutting and sewing, I hand printed everything,” says Brown.

But as her business has grown, that’s become a challenge. Now she sketches a pattern and works with factories to produce clothing. Often, she’ll make a silkscreen design from a drawing or sew on the final touches and accessories herself.

Her T-shirt designs favor undulating waves, octopus, squid, and, of course, her logo of a fisherman’s daughter mermaid looking out to sea.

“And all of my fabrics are fair trade. Since fabric production is tied to water—water that makes its way to the ocean—I want to make sure my fabrics are eco-friendly.”

In her cottage shop, Brown sells her own designs as well as clothing and jewelry from 50 other artists and producers. Air plants—also known as Tillandsia—resting in sea urchins are popular accent items.

Chatham Wind and Time For Jerry Evans, owner of Chatham Wind and Time, the idea to make time and tide clocks originally came from his passion for windsurfing. “You have to be an amateur meteorologist,” says Evans, if you want to

Jerry Evans, with his dogs Amy Marie and Rainier, built his business Chatham Wind and Time into a success story with his custom “entering town” signs and tide clocks.

catch the wind.

Evans grew up in the Lake Sunapee area of New Hampshire and earned a degree in machine tool technology. After working for a company in Nashua, he moved to Cape Cod in 1995.

“It was all about a lifestyle change and windsurfing,” says Evans. He chose Chatham as his home because he loves its extensive coastline and inner waterways.

To earn a living, he worked at Chatham Pottery for a few years making Ram press dyes and managing production in the studio. Some of his designs today reflect the pottery he made.

He also helped a local sign maker, working with a CNC router. Eventually, Evans invested his passion for ocean-inspired designs and his machine tool experience into building a business of his own.

He started making clocks, but “with the advent of the iPhone,” admits Evans, “people don’t look at clocks much anymore.” He still assembles and installs weather instruments displaying wind speed and direction, and makes thermometers on backgrounds painted with hydrangeas, “entering town” signs, or the Chatham lighthouse.

110

CHATHAM LIVING BY THE SEA | FALL - WINTER 2019

www.chathamlivingmag.com

Using a CNC router and CAD/CAM computer system, Evans also designs and carves custom signs celebrating the Cape’s towns and beaches. He cuts and sands each sign in his workshop, using a dust vacuum he designed to capture the shavings.

Many of his customers are second homeowners who like to hang his custom carved signs on their beach houses. If you drive around Cape Cod, you’re sure to see one of Evans’ “Entering Chatham” (or Brewster or Harwich Port, etc.) signs.

A true waterman, Evans draws ideas from things he sees when he’s walking the beach or engaging in one of his sports: windsurfing, kiting, surfing and stand-up paddle surfing.

Evans is also a self-professed shark enthusiast and his favorite designs favor sharks. His “Welcome to Chatham, Summer Home of the Great White” sign was born of this interest. The shark drawing is his own design that came from a photo he converted to vector format and then added shark ‘bites’ for effect.

He built a shark weathervane for one customer, and the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy sells his Christmas ornaments—smaller versions of his sign— in the Shark Center’s gift shop in North Chatham.

“Seals and sharks are both an environmental success story—both came back to the Cape,” says Evans. He embraces all the wonders of the Cape environment and happily shares his enthusiasm with customers and friends alike.

Godfrey Windmill Originally located on Mill Hill east of Atwood Street (now Stage Harbor Road), this circa 1797 wind-powered grist mill, built by Colonel Benjamin Godfrey, was moved in the mid-1950s to the newly designated Chase Park, a small and secluded park off Cross Street that was donated by Avis Chase. Over the years, the Godfrey Windmill has undergone significant renovations that were ultimately completed in 2012, in time to celebrate Chatham’s tri-centennial. Open seasonally for tours and corn-grinding demonstrations, the windmill is a wonderful year-round spot for a dog walk or a stroll with friends and family.

Gustare Oils & Vinegars, celebrating its 10th year, presents healthy and creative recipes for the perfect dinner party.

Written by LISA LEIGH CONNORS Recipes by KELLY WR IGHT

Photography by MICHAEL K ARCHMER

Gustare—an Italian word that means to taste, enjoy and savor—is the name of a boutique village shop in Chatham that specializes in fine oils, vinegars and gourmet foods. Each bottle is hand-labeled, filled, corked and sealed on the premise.

Gustare Oils & Vinegars has its own test kitchen where recipes containing their artisanal products are developed and refined. With the holidays on the horizon, we asked co-owner Catherine Ferraresi and culinary advisor Kelly Wright to come up with a delicious appetizer, drink and dessert for a festive seasonal gathering. Apples were chosen as a featured ingredient on their menu. “[Apples] are a comfort food during the winter months,” says Ferraresi, adding that apples were a common thread that pulled these recipes together.

Culinary advisor Kelly Wright and Gustare co-owner and founder Catherine Ferraresi.

On the following pages, Gustare serves up recipes for the ultimate charcuterie board, delicious streusel stuffed apples and a festive drink called Apple of My Eye Opener made with prosecco and Gustare’s Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar.

Buon appetito!

Streusel Stuffed Apples

WITH BOURBON MAPLE BALSAMIC GLAZE

s a child growing up on a fifth-generation apple farm, my mom frequently whipped up baked apples for a naturally sweet, yet healthy afternoon snack for me, often from apples plucked moments earlier from the trees in our yard. The memory makes me smile and my tastebuds hunger for it once again. Here, I offer a more sophisticated version of my childhood treat, chockfull of oats, nuts, dried cranberries, warming spices—and thanks to Gustare Sweet Butter Olive Oil—not a scrap of saturated fat. The ever-so-slightly tangy Gustare Bourbon Maple Balsamic Vinegar glaze adds a nice balance to the sweetness of the fruit. — Kelly Wright

Prep Time: 25 minutes Cook Time: 40-45 minutes Serves: 4 Dietary Specifications: Dairy-free, Gluten-free

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Bring apple cider to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Add dried cranberries and soak to reconstitute.

3. Combine oats, pecans, brown sugar and seasonings. Stir together.

4. Blend in Gustare Sweet Butter Olive Oil, stirring well to distribute evenly.

5. Drain dried cranberries, reserving apple cider for later use. Add cranberries to filling and stir well.

6. Stuff mixture into cored apples. Be sure to press filling very tightly into the cores and allow the “overflow” to create a crown over the top of each apple.

7. Place stuffed apples in shallow baking dish. Sprinkle excess streusel across the base of the dish and moisten with all reserved apple cider.

8. Bake apples uncovered for 40-45 minutes, until crispfork tender but not mushy.

Prepare reduction while apples are baking.

Ingredients: ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons of apple cider ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons of dried cranberries 4 Gala Apples, washed and cored ¾ cup raw gluten-free oats ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons pecans, roughly chopped 6 tablespoons brown sugar ¾ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Pinch 1830 Sea Salt 4 1/2 tablespoons Gustare Sweet Butter Olive Oil 1/2 cup Gustare Bourbon Maple Balsamic Vinegar 2 tablespoons 100% pure maple syrup

www.chathamlivingmag.com

1. Bring Gustare Bourbon Maple Balsamic Vinegar and pure maple syrup to boil over high heat. Lower heat to simmer. Cook approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until balsamic is reduced to approximately ½ cup.

2. Drizzle glaze over warm apples, top with excess crispy baked streusel, and enjoy.

Serving Suggestions: The baked apples can stand deliciously on their own, but you can make them a bit more decadent by serving them warm with your favorite ice cream. Or start your morning off right with a baked apple for breakfast.

Comfortingly retro yet surprisingly chic, a fondue party is the perfect way to celebrate this winter. The Chatham Cheese Company is ready to host an intimate gathering—or supply you with everything you need to create your own cheery, cheesefilled celebration.

“We have fondue pots you can buy or rent to host your own party,” says Heather Cantin, owner of the Chatham Cheese Company. “It’s very fun and people just love it!”

Cantin offers a wide selection of imported cheeses, including the Emmenthaler and Gruyère she uses in her signature fondue recipe. “These are Alpine cheeses, great melters, with nutty, rich and complex flavors,” she says. Her shop also has made-to-order sandwiches, an array of gourmet condiments and a broad range of both domestic and imported wines.

“We do cheese and wine tastings here, which are a great way to learn about our selection, but the fondue parties are even more popular,” says Cantin. She provides the prepared cheese fondue, fresh baguettes and apples for dipping and a cozy corner table for six to eight guests to enjoy an evening of fondue fun at her Main Street store.

Chatham Cheese Company will also create cheese platters for any size holiday party and Cantin, who was a personal chef for 15 years, provides catering services, with items like truffle mac and cheese, lasagne and stuffed shells on the menu.

The shop is open until Dec. 31, when they have a fantastic year-end sale, and then closes until Easter.
