Halloween Fun at Coonamessett Farm

Hey Kids! Check out this great place-Coonamessett Farm. It's in nearby East Falmouth and has all sorts of family friendly fun. Katelin enjoyed a perfect day there yesterday, picking pumpkins and then painting it (and herself).


Even Skyler the Spider from "Tyler and the Spider" joined us, thanks to the great facepainter there.


You can feed the chickens and see alpacas, donkeys and more.






In the spring they have a Little Sprouts Kids' Gardent Program, where kids can help plant and grow their own vegetable garden.

The farm doubles as a research facility so you'll see neat things like a wind turbine,



and here's what I thought was the coolest-hydroponics-plants growing like crazy in just water, no soil at all. Super neat.




For mom and dad there's a nice little restaurant and organically grown food to buy and upstairs are handmade gifts and my favorite- the alpaca fur covered stuffed animals, some of the naturally softest stuffed animals ever.

So hop on over and have a fun filled family day!
