Cooking with Cape Abilities on Channel 17 Tonight
The weather may be colder and days may be shorter, but it is still very busy at our farm on Route 6A in Dennis. If it looks like a construction zone - it is. We've started clearing ground for our next greenhouse - it should be ready early next year - so we can grow even more of our award-winning tomatoes and other local produce.
 
The retail shop has been moved into one of our greenhouses - stop by for a close up view of our current crops. Tomatoes and lettuce are still fresh-picked every day. Of course we also have a great selection of squash and other produce for your holiday table.
 
The farmstand - at 458 Main Street in Dennis - is open every day (except Monday) from 10 AM - 4PM (Please note - we're closing a little earlier now). We'll be open until December 24th.
