Bialas Farms offers a hyper-local food experience.
For 85 years, the Bialas Family has made Celery Avenue their home and we’d like to welcome you to join us at the farm stand. We grow the produce we sell right here, so the first time our produce leaves the farm is when YOU take it home!
Our family has been farming in New York’s Hudson Valley, in the famed Black Dirt Region, since 1939. We farm with deep respect and love for the land and for the community we feed.
We are foodies from the ground up, so you can learn how to cook and eat like a farmer here, too. It would be our pleasure to share the season’s harvest with you.
Welcome to your Happy Place!
This is Farmer Thomas’s 2024 Garlic!
Individual “seed garlic” cloves are planted in October, sprout 🌱 up a few inches, and are left to winter over.
In the spring, the garlic is the first plant to start growing. Here, Thomas is using a tractor with cultivating hooks to break up the hard-packed soil between the rows.

Y'all, look at these incredible colors!! 🤩 While I'm not really a fan of summer, one of things I do absolutely love are the weekly trips to our amazing #CSAfarm ... to shop for whatever fresh produce has just been harvested. (It almost makes these insanely hot & humid days worth it. Almost!)

I’m seeing so many “sponsored” CSA posts lately and the farms aren’t even in Orange County.
CSAs are a big part of farm businesses. It’s understandable that farms want to increase their exposure to sell their farm share program and they PAY for those sponsored posts.
But, even when you target your local audience, those paid posts don’t always reach your ideal customer.
The BEST WAY we can spread the word about our awesome farm program is for satisfied customers to share our posts.
Pictured is the kind of produce you receive every week from mid-June to mid-October. Of course, it varies based on the season, but that’s the cool thing about eating locally grown.
If this is the kind that sparks your interest, we would be so grateful if you shared our info.
SCREENSHOT this picture and the text between the veg emojis and share then to your Facebook, Instagram, TikTok feeds and stories.
Let your friends know that:
🥬🫛🥒🥕🌽🫑🌶️🍆🍅🍑🍓🧄🧅🍠
Bialas Farms is a great choice for fresh produce and fun people. CSA share options may be found at http://www.bialasfarms.com or the link in @thefarmgirlcooks bio.
And even if a CSA farm share isn’t your thing, you can still shop at the farm stand with all of the fabulous guest vendors. Plant Sale 5/18 and Farm Stand regular hours begin in June.

I truly don't know how #BialasFarms does it --- we've had almost zero rain lately --- but wow! These veggies look absolutely GORGEOUS today. How on earth? Such colors!! Truly beautiful. And ... wait ... is that an ad for a LOCAL production of #AugustWilson's #RadioGolf? Really??? "Radio Golf?" Out here?? Okay, sign me up! Y'all, my worlds are colliding, and I'm loving it.

We utilize crop rotation techniques to help our soil rest and rejuvenate. At times, several of our 55 acres are left fallow (bare) or planted with a beneficial cover crop.
The sunflowers 🌻 that will bloom in a few months are what we call “VOLUNTEERS”.
The peas grow quickly and will set fruit early, plus the plants are short. The plants will be done in July so their decomposition will add nutrients to the soil for the sunflowers.
Pretty cool, huh?

I jumped into holiday eating with both feet this year, and that meant lots of cookies, pasta, and bread. Those holiday indulgences have become daily rituals, and I’m at the point where my body is telling me to QUIT IT.
In the spirit of “New Year, New Me”, I’m entering 2024 choosing gluten-free, high-protein meals with more veggies and fruits whenever possible.
That doesn’t mean I don’t want a sweet treat for breakfast, though!
These Apple Fritter Pancakes are made with oats (gluten free) and cottage cheese, so there’s plenty of protein and fiber to help keep you satisfied.
🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎
I picked up everything I needed for this recipe, including locally grown apples, at Adams Fairacre Farms.
Gluten-Free Apple Fritter Pancakes
Grate 1 medium-large apple (I prefer peeled, you do you) and place pulp into a small strainer, reserving juice. You should get about a cup of grated apple, but more or less does not matter.
Combine in a blender jar: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup old fashioned or quick oats, 1 t baking powder, 1/2 t cinnamon, 2 eggs and reserved apple juice. Blend for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides of the jar after 10 seconds. Transfer batter to a bowl and stir in grated apple.
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat until water droplets “dance”. Oil (or butter) the pan, then spoon 2 T batter for each pancake. Let cook for a few minutes until the tops of the pancakes appear dry. Carefully flip them over and cook until done, about 3 more minutes.
Serve hot with pure maple syrup or your choice of pancake topping.

My friend Kristen left the farm stand the other day and then went to Adams to snag some groceries.
She seized the moment and snapped a pic of my mug on a shopping cart next to my parents on the sign.
It’s really fun for us to see our family in these advertisements. But it’s also important for the customers to understand that there are real people behind the foods that you’re buying at Adams. We all appreciate your support.
Farmer Sonny is on his way to Wappingers Falls store with a delivery. So, if you’re shopping around and you see that handsome fella, shake his hand and say thanks!

We know how the rumor mill works, so let me head it off at the pass…
Yes, we know our sign is gone.
No, we are not going out of business.
Yes, we are still having the plant sale.
Yes, the farm stand will open in June.
Yes, we are still doing the CSA.
Sonny is planting in the greenhouse today. Doris is working inside the barn. Thomas has classes, and I’m sitting at my desk working on the website with a hot cup of coffee in hand.
I know (for whatever reason) gossip tends to lean towards the negative because it’s jucier than the truth.
The sign simply needed to be replaced after 7 years 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Don't you just want to sink your teeth into this corn? Tomorrow afternoon... Market at the farm 🌽
What was Thomas doing today?
Just learning from his grandpa, and taking charge of everything that needs to be done to get the garlic crop in for next year.

It’s week 3 of the 12 Week New Habit Challenge.
Eat More Vegetables
My favorite way to eat vegetables is to roast them. So easy!
Depending on the size you cut them, usually done under an hour!
How to roast:
1. Oven 400-425
2. Prepare the vegetable - from halving to dicing - the cut size is up to you! The smaller the size, the less cook time (usually)
3. Place veggies in pan.
4. Sprinkle with oil. Get your hands dirty and mix that oil all over the pan and veggies too. Olive & Avocado are currently considered the healthiest.
5. Season with salt and pepper, and anything else you like! This is where it can get interesting ~ try spice combinations!
6. Roast 15-60 minutes
*the roasting chart is pretty spot on for time, imo
Note: Looking for awesome local produce: (for some of my followers!) I’ve got a visit on the to do list for Saturday- I need squash and brussels!
Located in #goshenny bialasfarms #bialasfarms
I roasted the asparagus that didn’t make the quiche cut - 400 degrees, 25 minutes (I prefer them more cooked than crunchy)
Just Olive oil, salt, pepper, Italian seasonings

2022 was the year I couldn’t stop eating watermelon 🍉🍉🍉🍉
We grew multiple varieties of melons that season, including cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon and tiny Korean melons. The season was hot and just the right kind of dry for the melons to thrive.
We discovered a new ORANGE watermelon that became a family and customer favorite.
The rain wiped out almost everything in 2023 so the melon plants didn’t even grow. We are hoping for a bumper crop of these beauties in 2024.
Which melon was your favorite?

Spicy carrot top pesto, recipe from Glutton for Life, ridiculously good. Spicy in the way you have to eat more, addictive. #bialasfarm #local #thefarmgirlcooks #gluttonforlife
Well ain’t that just great?
“Sometimes they just split”, Sonny says.
Still not happy about it. I want watermelon!!
