Out in the field, the 9-year-old who’s tagging along stands ready to transport the cucumbers I hand her. She is using her shirt as an apron and can, if she is careful, manage a dozen at a time, gently ferrying them to the larger crates that sit in the shade of my truck.

It stood on a rise above Great Peconic Bay near Hampton Bays, where friends and families had summer “camps,” as they were known. The Herricks and the Bishop families had been friends for eons.
