Bialas Farms offers a hyper-local food experience.
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!
Turning off the water to the unheated and soon-to-be unused greenhouses.
Nobody needs frozen water pipes to burst. 💦
Reminder: Bialas Farm Stand Pop-Up SALE Tuesday 11/28, 2pm-6pm
December close-out sale 12/16, 9-1, with guest vendors

There was a time when I had to have activities planned for Thomas to do so he wouldn’t be under foot and I could cook Thanksgiving dinner.
Fast-forward to 2023: I’m dozing on the couch while he makes mashed potatoes and homemade rolls.
The turkey is stuffed and in the oven. Desserts are done, and veggies will be prepared in a few hours.
I’ll pop open a bottle of champagne at game time and settle in for a day full of football, family, and food.
I’m devastated over those not with us today, but incredibly thankful for the ones who are around our table. This life is incredibly unpredictable. Nothing will ever be the same, but the love goes on.
Wishing you all a blessed Thanksgiving 🦃🧡💛🤎

Pocket full of beans - pretty much the last of the beans in our garden- soooo good!
Will have to visit thefarmgirlcooks for more veggies!

I grow them, but I don’t like to eat them.
But… BRUSSELS SPROUTS are a Thanksgiving staple veggie.
Can you share your favorite preparation or recipe in the comments and change my mind?
When you make a dish, share the pics and tag me @thefarmgirlcooks and #bialasfarms.
Let’s share some great ideas for the holiday meals to come!

Two beautiful apple-crumb pies with perfect all-butter crusts and a pumpkin rice pudding made entirely in the pressure cooker. I’m going to try a caramelized sugar topping, a la crème brûlée.
Thomas and I are beat, and will start up again in the morning.
I made a grand menu, then cut incidentals by half. How much food do we really need for 4 people? Not nearly as much as I dream up in my head, for sure. Plus, my mood is kinda blue.
Sleep well, my friends.

To miasto przerosło moje najśmielsze oczekiwania. Gdzieś pomiędzy pagórkami znajduję się to cudowne miejsce. Piękne kamienice, 4 linie metra, żółte taksówki i dekoracyjne mosty. Można poczuć się jak księżniczka, naprawdę!
Zobaczcie czwarte zdjęcie, jednym słowem WOW. 🕊️

This memory came up in my Facebook feed from 2015. The photo is from Mohonk Mountain House.
Our family sold vegetables at farmers markets from 1991 until 2017. The market seasons are pretty standard here in NY, from June through October, but the planting and harvesting go on long before and after those months.
As soon as the farm market season was over, Paul and I would try to take a weekend getaway to reconnect. My family’s farm business does not allow us summer vacations, so early November was our only opportunity to do something before his busy season began.
Now that my love is gone, I look at these pictures and recall the many years we put work ahead of all else. It makes me angry and sad and resentful with some regret mixed in.
I will forever wish for a do over.
But, we know that’s not possible, right? If 2023 has taught me anything, it’s that life is too damn short and you don’t get a second chance at it. We may be presented with situations over and over, offering us the opportunity to make another choice, but that's not quite the same thing.
I can assure you that I have a very different outlook now. Losing your chosen one alters how you see everything. I will never again be the girl who snapped that photo.
In addition to tragedy, what I have seen in the last few months is an outpouring of support and friendship from so many caring people.
I’ve seen the tears welling up in the eyes of women who have experienced exactly what I have. They never show it, though, because grief makes other people uncomfortable. It’s a club no one wants to be in, but if you are a member, I see you 🫶🏻
Thank you all for thinking of me and letting me talk about Paul. It helps… 💗
I urge you to live a life that you love every day. Don't wait for tomorrow.

I felt like making pasta today.
I was inspired by the aromatic parsley in the fridge. I wanted to see how it looked to sandwich parsley leaves between layers of pasta before rolling it out. I also added freshly ground pepper and lemon zest.
It was stunning and delicious.

Roasted tomatillo and poblano salsa verde. Every ingredient except the cilantro (my garden) came from BialasFarm. #thefarmgirlcooks #homemade #eatlocal
Just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. Farmer Sonny on billboards (not on the post office wall).
Thank you, Adams Fairacre Farms, for supporting hard-working local farmers.
The biggest hugs and much gratitude to everyone who sent us pictures!
We are so blessed to know you all 🤗🤗🤗

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
I am going to let you in on a little FarmGirl secret.
You can FREEZE garlic!
We will have cloves of our homegrown German White garlic available at the farm stand this weekend.
Why do we have cloves? Because we broke apart a ton of garlic heads to plant but ran out of prepared dry ground.
Buy it by the pound for planting or for eating.

According to my calendar, it's International Carrot Day. A good reason to share an old favorite of mine, for sale in my etsy shop — amyrothphoto.
I really miss seeing thefarmgirlcooks every week at ringwoodfarmersmarket. Their produce has always been every bit as beautiful as it is delicious.

If you’ve been around here for even just a few weeks, you know that my instant pot pressure cooker is an essential part of my kitchen.
We are so darn busy in the summer that I rely on meal prep to put wonderful food on the table. Last night’s grilled jerk chicken thighs (quick, boneless, marinated all day) were the main protein for tonight’s beet and arugula salad.
The honey mustard dressing recipe can be found in my instagram reels. The beets (depending on size) will cook in 20-35 minutes in the instant pot and can last for about a week in the fridge.
There aren’t too many valid excuses to not eat healthy when you have an abundance of fresh foods at your fingertips!
Beets, arugula, corn, tomatoes, and peppers at the farm stand this weekend… Friday and Saturday, 9-2.

Pinto beans from scratch. I grew the bay and thyme, Bialas Farm the onion and garlic. #thefarmgirlcooks #ranchogordo #homemade
I rarely follow a recipe.
Instead, I use a recipe from a cookbook or online as a springboard. I take a leap based on what I know about food and cooking and what we have available here at the farm.
Sometimes I make some winners. This Cajun potato soup with andouille sausage is delicious.
The veggies are homegrown and the andouille came from Quaker Creek Store in Pine Island. I used the Instant Pot so it cooked pretty quickly, too.
I added extra spices and would have preferred additional veggies. Brussel buds, kale, or spinach would be terrific.
That’s the best part of cooking… you can always do it again!

Farmer Doris LOVES turkey breast, so I cooked one for her a little early.
This was a 5-pound bone-in breast, cooked at 375° for about 2 hours. The internal temperature at the thickest part of the breast should be 160-165°, then you let it REST for 15 min covered with foil to keep warm. USE A MEAT THERMOMETER!
I didn’t want to use a rack for roasting, and I needed a little stock to make gravy, so I used VEGETABLES to make a bed for the turkey. Carrot halves, onion quarters, and celery ribs made a nice raft, and I added an inch or so of water and basted the bird with some dry vermouth.
Once the breast was cooked, I removed it from the pan and let it rest. I discarded the veggies and thickened the gravy with a cornstarch-water slurry.
I’ll wait for my mother to weigh in on the flavor of the meat, but I can tell you that the gravy was excellent.

Crisp, juicy radishes #farming #homegrown #farmersmarket #bialasfarms #thefarmgirlcooks
Just a bunch of stuff from the farm stand tossed together with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, and black beans.
Includes tomato, yellow Hungarian pepper, scallion, radishes, cilantro and mango (not from the farm 😉).
I used this as a room, temperature side dish for sautéed cod.

For once, I didn’t cook a special birthday dinner.
Thank you, Thomas, for remembering to snap a pic when we are both CLEAN!

My favorite part of summer. Chopping up a whole bunch of just-picked stuff and calling it lunch #thefarmgirlcooks #bialasfarms #homegrown #veggiesrock #lovemygarden
On this day in 2011, we awoke to the life-altering flooding from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
These back-to-back storms wiped out our entire season and caused losses that took three years to overcome. It took months of hard work under devastating conditions to be ready for the spring of 2012.
Things like this make you wonder WHY me and HOW could this happen?
Unforgettable events that change the course of your life and alter who you are are bound to happen.
What matters is how you rise afterwards.
