on the edge of town - I think it's a Stop & Shop (used to be A&P). It's in walkable distance, but not a short walk. The supermarket in Vineyard Haven is far more convenient but quite a bit smaller.

There used to be a gas station which sold coffee for 50 cents in VH. And I found this past August a soda machine which dispensed cold 12 oz Coca Colas for
50 cents in VH. I hadn't seen that since the mid-1970s!

        Some larger communities support farmers markets
        
        Farmers markets in Greenwich and Stonington CT, and Greenport NY
    - Vineyard Haven no good to provision either...

        There was really nothing about Vineyard Haven I didn't like...
        I too like the waterfront in Vineyard Haven. Benjamin and Gannon yard alone is worth the stop.
      - That's as big as a boat cushion! I like to make my own coffee too, onboard.
  - I thought they told Ernie to get rid of the lamas ...
    - Were we anchored nearby his place? Here's a wider view of the anchorage.
      - His place (I think he died) is across from the town mooring field, south of the ferry crossing.
    - And just too many windows! I know there's a view, but...
