Wow! What an experience! 

Thank you to the cast & teams at @bravotv & #trulyoriginaltv for creating time to highlight the meals presented by @nyamnzmv. Specially crafted & recognized on the very first episode of Bravo’s newest spin off Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard! 

Being apart of this experience was extremely special to me. Sharing the opportunity to make history with this all black cast, being lead by a strong black production team. It was magic, it was bliss, my heart felt happy to watch as everyone shined bright in their roles. This was an experience to live for. 

Sharing a piece of my little island 🇯🇲, on this little island with you will never get old. To see the smiles on faces, having the ability to watch the playback of ruckus over a salad on my TV!! 🥰 

This journey is such a wonderful one, having the ability to exist in these many forms whilst consistently doing what I love. 

Thank you @jasmineelliscooper for having me!
Congratulations! @itsshanaeh Motivating young black women everywhere!

Lacey Williams, founder of NyamnzMV, is an up-and-coming chef in Martha’s Vineyard. 🌟

During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, she contemplated pursuing a career as a food critic, considering the challenge of proving her food expertise without an established reputation.

That question and the pandemic were the seeds the Jamaican-born chef needed to jump-start her dream. 🔥 taken in Martha's Vineyard by @cheflaceywilliams

Welcome to Chef Lacey’s Martha’s Vineyard Summer Menu. 🍽️

This summer, I’m sharing the places I genuinely return to season after season—no gatekeeping.

First stop: John’s Fish Market. 🐟 

While they’re known for their fresh, locally caught seafood (and for good reason), I think their prepared food deserves just as much attention. Today’s order? The swordfish sandwich—and it definitely delivered.

Whether you’re planning your first trip to the Vineyard or you’ve been coming for years, consider this your running list of where to eat all summer long.

Save this post for your next visit, and follow along as I share the restaurants, markets, bakeries, and hidden corners that make Martha’s Vineyard taste like summer.

Some tables are built with plates and glasses.

The best ones are built with people who believe in the same things.

This summer, we’re inviting a small number of purpose-driven brands, creators, photographers, and storytellers to join us at The Harvest Table.

If your work celebrates craftsmanship, community, hospitality, culture, sustainability, or creating meaningful experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

Whether you create beautiful products, capture unforgettable moments, or simply believe that food has the power to bring people together, there may be a seat for you.

In return, your brand becomes part of an experience that extends far beyond dinner—through thoughtful storytelling, intentional placement, professional photography, social media features, and genuine connections with a community that values quality over noise.

If this sounds like your kind of table, send us an email with:
• Your brand or business
• What you create
• Why you feel aligned with The Harvest Table
• How you’d love to collaborate

Let’s build something people will remember long after the last course. Comment & tag someone you’d love to see at our table. 

📩 Partnership inquiries are now open until July 7th. taken in Martha's Vineyard by @cheflaceywilliams

Toast, 🥂 
Five Summers 

How time moves so fast when you’re devoted to a plan. Five years ago I begun on, this beautiful journey of feeding you all fueled by grief, disappointment, & hunger for change in my life. Thirst for growth. My desire & plan with God to devoting myself to freedom. 

I showed up in every which way, to build this brand. Devoted - to building myself. 

As you age, you learn to look at life in intervals, and for my business, 5 is revolutionary. It’s facts. Its data. It’s proven theory. It’s, questions, intuition, pivoting, and recreating the formula for success. 

This year is dedicated to my freedom. To mending my wounds, and releasing myself of the grief I once carried. To introducing myself. 

How beautifully God may weave moments of fortune out of our moments of despair. 

Thank you for trusting me year after year 🙏🏾
