OVERHEARD: The Bird Is the Word

Those who frequently drive along Noyac Road will be familiar with a pair of signs along the route: a chicken and an egg. They’re just around the bend from the marina at Wooley Pond and welcome people to North Sea Farms. It’s actually a rooster and not a chicken, hinting at the lighthearted farm humor at play.

Strange Days at Stony Hill

Berton Roueché and his wife, Kay, lived on the north side of Amagansett in the early 1970s.

David Rattray remembers a time, a place, and an incredible cast of characters from a less-tame past
