Description

Farms of Cape Cod brings the reader to the farms and farmers cultivating the finest fruit, flowers, produce, oysters, herbs, eggs and honey in this historic region. The farms create beautiful landscapes, provide nutritious food, and connect us to the land. As the desire for local, organically grown food flourishes and the locavore movement grows, it is important to know where our food comes from. Farms of Cape Cod reacquaints us with our cultural heritage and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the wonders of farming. Twenty-eight unique farms are profiled, with harvests ranging from cranberries, lavender, and grapes to livestock, holly, and shellfish. Each farm's address and operating information is provided, as well as information about their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscriptions. This beautifully illustrated book also offers "Tips from the Top," the farmers' proven ideas on planting, growing and cooking.

Award-winning photographer Stephanie Foster is a master gardener whose bouquets are highly sought after at farmers' markets. Represented by Addison Art in Orleans, she has had numerous solo exhibitions at museums and the Cape Cod National Seashore. She lives and gardens in Harwich with her husband, Frank.
