"This seafood shack sits in the home of another excellent soft shell clam, Essex. J.T. Farnham’s, sits at the foot of a majestic expanse of bird-packed marshland, and sightings of a piping plover, a peregrine falcon and common terns are also on the menu. Bring your binoculars, but also bring your appetite. Like the Clam Box, Farnham’s is located on Rte. 133. Farnham’s is seasonal and is typically open from the first Friday in March through Christmas Eve." - Tanya Edwards, Terrence Doyle
