Bialas Farms is a family-run farm in Orange County, New York. We grow over 80 different varieties of vegetables on our 55 acres of beautiful muck soil. We currently have 3 greenhouses in which we grow a vast number of potted herbs and an assortment of baby greens. Our family has grown a bit since we first started selling our produce at farmers markets in 1992. We can now boast about being a 4th -Generation farm! Keep an eye open at the markets for pics of the grandkids, and even an appearance or two on a good day!
The Bialas Family started farming the Black Dirt on Celery Avenue in 1939 and you can read more about our journey by clicking on "Our Story".
Check out our "Product List" to see what we have planned for this year. Jeff has become an Heirloom Tomato Specialist and we have over 13 varieties for you to taste this year. We hand-wash and sort all of our heirloom tomatoes - keeping them in the best shape possible for you to enjoy. Be on the lookout for our exclusive signature tomato, the "Polish Plum". Buy them when you see them, as they've become such a favorite at all of the markets they never last long!
We've also expanded our greens selection for you. We are trying to meet the demands of our customers for new and exciting ingredients. We'll be planting over 20 different kinds of leafy greens and lettuces this year, both in the field and in the greenhouses. In doing so, we've found that WE LOVE TO EAT THEM too! Please feel free to ask us for preparation and storage tips and recipes when you see us at the markets.
Click on "Recipes" to get printed versions of some of our favorites. We've included some recipes submitted by customers, but mostly the ones you'll find here have been developed by our family to best utilize our fantastic farm-fresh produce.
As many of you already know, we are very long-winded and are NEVER at a loss for words. This being the case, we've decided to create our own Blog right here on Bialasfarms.com. Visit often to see what we have to share with you. It could be an update on the growth of our "best in the city" sweet corn, links to some of our favorite sites, or rants and raves about what it's like to be a farmer in the 21st century.
We hope you enjoy visiting our site and we look forward to seeing you at the markets!
See you at the market!
