Rural Intelligence Parties and Openings As usual, Martha Stewart was among the eager, early buyers at Trade Secrets, the massive rare plant and antique sale at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, which benefits Women’s Support Services. As she stopped at every booth (including potter Guy Wolff‘s left), Martha took photographs and notes, proving that she remains a hands-on editor.
