Have you seen our latest cover with the awesome Rowsom brothers strolling on the dock outside their family institution (and beloved Greenport mainstay), Preston’s? We’re pretty sure they’re the longest running business in town and, boy, do we love that we can rely on the notion that they’re still around after all these years.

Small businesses are as much your neighbors as the folks you wave two on your block (they may even actually live on your block!), and a vital part of the fabric of our community. And hey, Times Review Media is a small, family-owned business, too! We’re all part of what makes the North Fork a great place to live — and that’s exactly what we wanted to celebrate in this, our first “Mom-and-Pop” issue of the magazine.

Managing editor Lee Meyer and editor-in-chief of Northforker and Southforker Amy Zavatto sat down to talk about putting this issue together and the cool things they learned along the way — take a listen!
