The Cape & Islands are known world-wide for their clean, sandy beaches and amazing local seafood. Something that might not be quite as well known is the number, and variety, of farms in the area. Traditional farms like Morning Glory Farm on Martha’s Vineyard and Crow Farm in Sandwich grow fantastic produce and flowers and sell their bounty in roadside stands and markets. Others, such as Capeabilities Farm in Dennis help to support the local community. This farm has been growing vegetables and flowers for over a decade, as well as providing training and employment opportunities for Cape Cod residents living with disabilities.
