Tea Lane Farm — the historic but languishing property off Middle Road in Chlimark — has a new tenant farmer.
Flower farmer Krishana Collins was awarded the Chilmark property last Friday in a 5 to 3 vote from the town’s board of selectmen and Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank Commission advisory board. The joint boards had embarked on a long journey to find a tenant for the land who will use it for agricultural purposes and repair the timeworn buildings.
