Spring on Cape Cod
The signs of spring are familiar - towering chestnut trees on 6A with their white flowers, the delicate kousa dogwoods, the scent of lilac and of course ripe, red tomatoes...tomatoes?
At Cape Abilities Farm, it's finally tomato time. We have a limited supply, fresh picked every morning. They're available on a first come, first served basis, $ 3.50 per pound. So stop by, for your taste of our Cape Cod tomatoes - you'll think it's August already.
We're open every day, 10 AM to 6PM - at 458 Main Street, Route 6A in Dennis. |
Farm Update: Plants for your Garden
Lots of visitors to the farm this week - special greetings to all of the lovely "Red Hatters" who stopped by.
We have terrific vegetable plants for sale - 4 inch pots - $3 each. Be sure to use the special coupon below - buy 2, get 1 free. Everything has been grown from seed at the farm.
Try our heirloom tomato plants: Brandywine - known for their superb flavor; Bloody Butcher - deep red color, ready in less than 8 weeks and Mortgage Lifter - the large, meaty tomato developed in the 1930's by a radiator repairman - the plants became so popular he paid off his mortage in six years Mortage Lifter tomatoes are perfect for tomato sandwiches.
We also have pepper plants (mild and hot) and eggplants. Don't forget our gorgeous hanging plants for your deck.

5k Run/Walk Raises Over $35,000 for Cape Abilities
 It started with rain, but the sun finally came out - along with hundreds of people - who supported us at our annual 5k Run/Walk in Hyannis. This year, we had several teams who came together to have fun - and raise funds for Cape Abilities.
Eric Ill's friends and family formed Team Eric - they were the top fundraising team at the 5k.
To meet some of the terrific people who were part of Team Eric, click here.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and everyone who helped make this such a successful event.

Congratulations to last week's quiz winners: Maria Moustakas, Danielle Clark and the MacDonalds.
They all knew that Sumi-E is Asian ink and wash painting. Our first Sumi-E art class (with the Cape Cod Art Association) started last week at Cape Abilities Arts Center in Eastham.
The warmer weather means the Bee Mobile is out traveling across Cape Cod, spreading the word about Cape Abilities and our farm.
