"The Bourne Identity"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKMr1Xg7S4U…read more Bourne Farm is right off 28A in North Falmouth. Despite the busyness of the nearby intersections and highways, it's a great place to stop for a walk&a picnic. There's the historic barn, built in 1775 by Joseph Crowell. The Farm got its identity from Lester Bourne Sr, whose family bequeathed the property for conservation. According to the Salt Pond conservation literature, nothing of note happened at Bourne Farm, but it does show daily life in the American Revolution era. There's a small fruit&vegetable garden. One can stroll among cranberry bogs. For outdoor dining, there's a small picnic area overlooking Crocker Pond. Bourne Farm has plenty of trails for hiking. It's no wonder Bourne Farm is often used as a wedding venue and an outdoor summer camp for kids. Beautiful place for fresh air.

Pumpkins walls and…read moreweddings Bourne Farms is a 50 acre area that is open to the public and includes a house that was built in 1775, an old barn and even an original outhouse. Flowers, trees and orchards are scattered around the area as well as cool old stone walls that meander around the property. Behind the farm are hiking trails that go through the woods and in some cases over the walls. The Shining Sea Bike Path also crosses through the property on an old rail trail complete with a small tunnel so the cows could get under the track to reach their grazing fields. A huge pumpkin field is filled with large pumpkins in the fall and the farm has a cool pumpkin event complete with hay rides and other fun activities. The farm is a very popular and lovely place to rent out for weddings and other events and offers a lot of room in a very bucolic setting. There are tours of the farm on occasion but it's fun just to walk the paths and see the cool and ancient stone walls and all the crazy looking trees and pumpkin fields. An enjoyable place to spend some time any time of the year.

Cape Abilities Farm puts people with disabilities at the helm of fully-functional, commercial…read moreproduce farm. Too humble to gloat for themselves, the yield from this Dennis land is some of the finest (and award-winningest) vegetation on the Cape. And in this bright green, columned shop near Chatham Lighthouse, is the spot to load up on all the crops the farm has to offer. Bibb lettuce to root vegetables, begonias to string beans - whatever's popping up from the well-tilled earth is being sold from these shelves. Oddly, there's also a toy corner, trinkets and baubles for touristy purchases (my shirt has a lighthouse on it!) and a side room serving as a local art gallery. Peculiar? A bit. Unique? Perhaps. Contributive towards the homey vibe? Definitely.* Just like the farm, the retail location is staffed by folks with special needs (mainly students from nearby Chatham High). Unlike the farm, this piece is air conditioned. Give it a peek - your soul (and your stomach) will thank you for it. ---- *After a bit of research, it seems the building in which the storefront resides was an old art gallery. The owners of said gallery have allowed Cape Abilities to operate rent-free for what's now the second continuous season. Warm fuzzies abound!

Across the street from the mill, the side of the street you park on, there are some beautiful paths near the stream. I guess this is the herring run? Lots of gorgeous flowers, little waterfalls. And I saw at least 6 Snowy Egrets feeding in the stream maybe 100' from the parking lot. This side also has a few picnic tables under some huge trees should you decide to have some lunch. If you walk around the grist mill, there is a beautiful little pond in back complete with dam to control the flow of water to make the mill operate. Not far off 6A. Definitely worth a stop.
