A Bit of Old Cape Cod

Miniature DonkeysWoolTaylor Bray Farm
This past weekend we visited the Taylor Bray Farm in Yarmouth Port. They had their big Sheep Festival, with herding by dogs, hayrides, spinning, and more. It’s a great family event in a beautiful spot. We visit often (and are supporting members) to see the animals including Highland cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, and miniature donkeys. In the summer you can pick your own blueberries. In the Fall there is a Harvest Festival and a big pumpkin patch. If you just stick to Route 6A (or gasp! Route 6) you will miss these terrific Cape Cod cultural events. Get off the main drag, taste some honey fresh from the hive, wear a sweater right off the lamb, and experience the countryside by the sea.
