Coonamessett Farm, East Falmouth MA

On Friday, the local Moms Meetup group had scheduled a tour of Coonamessett Farm in East Falmouth MA.


I loaded the Kiddo into the car and headed over there (and no, I wasn't the only Dad showing up for the Moms Meetup event!). It was actually a pretty big group (which split into two tour groups).

Coonamessett Farm is a membership-supported organic farm that has been in operation since 1989. You can purchase a family membership or buy a day pass to pick and purchase fresh organic vegetables, fruits, and eggs.



The farm staff took us around, showing us the various crops and animals. We also got to transplant a marigold, which we took home.



Kiddo enjoyed seeing the animals. Here are a pair of alpacas enjoying their lunch.



We also saw ducks, guinea fowl, chickens, donkeys, goats, turkeys, rabbits, and Peanut the American spurred tortoise.



We had a nice lunch of homemade cornbread, vegetarian chili, and yogurt at the farm's cafe.
