Visit a local farm
The season’s bounty is on glorious display at Cape
Abilities Farm in Dennis, home to greenhouses, a farm
market and popular CSA programs. Shopping here is
a two-fer; you get good stuff and support their goal of
employing locals with disabilities.
The 20-acre Coonamessett Farm in Falmouth offers
just-picked produce, along with accompaniments
like local honey and sauces. Meet the farm’s resident
animals, then tour the grounds on an old-fashioned
autumn hayride.
Sheeps, goats, donkeys, chickens - there’s a menagerie
in residence at Taylor-Bray Farm in Yarmouth Port. A
great time to visit: their Fall Pumpkin Festival in October,

games and treats.
4 Meet me at the
farmer’s market
Cape Cod has more farmer’s markets than you
can shake a (celery) stick at, typically open through
mid- or late October. Some to consider: Chatham
Farmers’ Market at Our Lady of Grace Catholic
Church (Tuesdays); Mashpee Farmers’ Market
(Sundays) at Naukabout Beer Garden at Mashpee
Commons; Provincetown Educational Farmers’
Market (Saturdays) on Ryder Street next to Town Hall;
Falmouth Farmers’ Market (Thursdays) at Marine
Park; and Sandwich/Bourne Farmers’ Market
(Tuesdays) at The Sagamore restaurant.
Cape Abilities Farm
Beautiful fresh produce is just the beginning—some
markets sell locally-harvested seafood, pasture-raised
meats, local wines, artisan-made cheeses, fresh
baked goods, and craft items.
