Joshua L Freeman is a Massachusetts company. In Josh’s way of thinking about places, Great Britain sits offshore of Massachusetts under the town of Yo — like Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and the Elizabeth Islands — and Iceland, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, and Greenland are its territories. It’s a metaphor for how the shop thinks about its neighbors across the water. No sovereignty is claimed.
