The first time our produce leaves the farm is when YOU take it home!
I’m often accused of taking too many pictures.
Like that’s a BAD thing?
When I want to feel HOPEFUL about what’s to come, I scroll through my favorites album. Simple, colorful, natural; a feast for the eyes AND tastebuds. Food makes the best memories!
I can’t wait to eat GREAT FOOD again, and I’m hearing the same from many of you.
Bialas Farms is accepting applications for the 2023 CSA farm share program. We offer three pick up days at the farm, and Garnet health employees have the option of choosing on-site pickup.
Visit our website (Bialasfarms.com or direct link in profile) for more information, to print an application, or to pay online.

These two characters busted their behinds today doing loads of fieldwork.
This week in 2011, they were tapping a maple tree. Like, literally ONE tree.
It was good syrup in the end, but 6-year-old boys aren’t exactly overflowing with patience.
“THAT’S IT? THAT’S NOT EVEN ENOUGH FOR ONE PANCAKE!”
How lucky we are to live this life and appreciate it in the moment. 💗

Trixie greets me every day with a short-tempoed meow, as if to say, “what are you waiting for, old woman? Feed me!”
I noticed her food bowl wasn’t empty this morning. That’s very unusual.
Then I remembered what a gorgeous day it was yesterday and, being raised as a farm cat, this girl couldn’t resist the lure of the great outdoors.
Of course, because she is cat, she needs to nap 22 1/2 hrs a day. One of her favorite places to nap? Inside the barn, perched up high and swaddled in a pile of burlap potato bags.
Unbeknownst to her, the barn door was closed and she couldn’t come home last night. I don’t know if she’s surprised by this fact, because it happens routinely in the spring and summer.
She was fine, just a little hungrier than usual when she came in and it is a feeding frenzy today.
Oh, and I have to wash the towels I use to cover the furniture… filthy girl. 😼

It’s that time of year, and today was an absolute BEAUTY!
It was nice to hear tractors and feel sunshine and even crawl in the greenhouse soil.
If you’ve sent your CSA applications in or paid online, trust that they’ve been received and noted. I couldn’t let these few days go by without outside time.
Thanks for being here!

CSA farm share applications are rolling in already! Kim and Bob were first this year, Adam, but you were a close second.
I love seeing all of the returning members' applications, and the little notes of appreciation are just the best. Those are the validation that we made the right decision in 2017 to stop selling at farmers markets and to focus on our CSA, the on-farm retail, and wholesale legs of Bialas Farms.
There's truly nothing better than getting to know our customers as we feed you for 9 months out of the year!
You can join us, too, and applications are available at bialasfarms.com (CSA Farm Shares in the main menu). We also offer online payment if that's your jam.

Greenhouse work with Dad this afternoon.
We got all the tomato seeds planted today so they should be the perfect size for transplanting around the time of our 11th Annual Plant Sale on May 20th.
1. Teeny tiny celery sprouts
2. Pepper sprouts peeking through the soil.
3. Apparently, I’m too short to reach the far side of the greenhouse bed so I’m on tippy-toes.
4. Farmer Sonny planting some of the 20 varieties of tomatoes 🍅.
5. Regular bandaids don’t hold up to a farmer’s workday. Electrical tape helps secure the bandage.
6. March 15 field view

Only a small part of my ancestry is Irish, but I’ll embrace traditional foods and put my FarmGirl spin on them for any holiday. This Shepherd’s Pie was a family favorite and with a little strategic planning, it was done in under an hour (baking took a little longer but totally hands-off).
My father asked the next day if I could make a 5-gallon bucketful of the filling because it was delicious. Five gallons is a little much, but 85% lean ground beef is on sale until Thursday 3/16 at Adams Fairacre Farms. You can pick up what you need to make several batches of the filling and freeze it in bags without the potato topping. Defrost what you need for a meal, make the mashed potato topping to spread on top, and bake it when you want a hot, tasty dinner.
Find the complete recipe in the comments, and be sure to tag me if you make this!

Happy Pi(e) Day!
3/14 is traditionally the day to make a pie around here, ‘cause we’re big fans of all the math (and also pie).
However… Thomas has decided that he would rather make homemade focaccia.
Whatever he wants… as long as he cleans up the kitchen!
What are you doing on this snowy day? Is it actually SNOWING where you are? Not much snow here at the farm so far. I guess we shall see what the day holds.
Be safe and enjoy this little taste of winter!

Fried carola potato cubes make a great base for a frittata (open-faced omelet). I topped with a melty layer of pepper Jack cheese; Doris uses Monterey Jack.

“I was looking at your website and I love the pictures of your hormone support supplements."
The emails we get on a daily basis are downright comical. Clearly "Dianne" was NOT looking at OUR website.
If she was, she would have seen the BIG NEWS.
Farm Share SALES are NOW OPEN!
Visit bialasfarms.com (CSA Farm Shares on the menu) and see if our program is right for you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me here or in a private message or email.

Today is THE DAY…
We are celebrating this guy!
On this day in 1959, a handsome young 16 year old walked out of Goshen High School for the last time. He knew what he wanted to do. He worked side by side with his family and learned as much as he could from his father in the 6 short years they had left together.
The business was started by his parents in 1939, and Sonny started working FULL TIME in 1959. For the next 64 years, this farm saw its share of ups and downs, but nothing is more remarkable than the successes made possible by perseverance and faith (and a gambler’s temperament, because no one risks everything year after year unless they have that!)
Many of us like to think that our jobs don’t define who we are, but this man IS Bialas Farms. He’s also so much more!
To my dad, I’m grateful for the strength, optimism, confidence, humor, and intelligence you share daily. You are an amazing role model, and one whose footsteps we are honored to follow.
Happy 80th Birthday Farmer Sonny!

Right on the cusp of "National Sons Day" and Sonny's birthday (which really should be a national holiday, am I right?)!
My two favorite fellas in 2007.

The scent of lilacs swept me away this afternoon.
You can visit the garden shows at ALL FOUR Adams Fairacre Farms stores this weekend.
Don’t miss this inspirational dose of springtime.

So many special varieties of tomatoes 🍅 and peppers 🌶️ 🫑 😃
I almost can’t wait for summer harvest!

Planting seeds.
Tedious, time-consuming, repetitive, essential.

Spent a lovely afternoon workin’ with Pops, then threw a few pans of veggies in the oven to roast.
Thousands of pepper and a few hundred early tomato seeds planted today. The rest of the tomatoes will be planted in a few weeks and they’ll be ready to go at our 11th Annual Spring Plant Sale 🌱 on May 20th.
Roasted veggie assortment included peppers, onions, fennel, zucchini, sweet potato, mushrooms, and garlic.
In less than 10 minutes I had everything diced up and ready for the oven. I’ll never take for granted how lucky we are that someone somewhere grew all this just so we can eat.

I think bird tracks are the cutest things!
Working in the office today finalizing CSA applications and hoping to have them live on website in a day or two.
Also, trying to fix a leaky kitchen faucet.
Should transplant pepper seedlings but perhaps will wait until the snow melts (tomorrow?).
What are you up to today?
#bialasfarms #snowday #birdtracks #todolists
Such a fun day!
We cannot thank you all enough for braving the cold today and stopping by to see us.
There are so many beautiful messages on Sonny’s birthday cards! It’s gonna take him some time to read everything, but he is most grateful for the opportunity to know you all.
We hope everyone enjoyed the hot cider and fresh donuts. Mr. Art and Ms. Sharon brought some smiles to the barn today. Thank you, @soonsorchards for always having the best cider EVER!

Cashew butter is a great alternative to peanut butter in your favorite baking recipes.
Snag a few jars of LunaGrown Jam and cashew butter (special farm pricing!) at Bialas Farms’ Pop-Up Sale on Saturday, Feb 25th.
You can order ahead at Lunagrown.com.
Pictured here is my take on peanut butter and jelly bars from Broma Bakery (scroll IG or search Google for the exact recipe).
FWIW, I think this recipe would make the most perfect little tartlets for a shower or tea.
