Diversified farm in Java/Arcade NY. Growing organic vegetables, chickens, eggs, grass-fed beef, and pastured pork.

We harvested from our orchard last week! 🍎 This We harvested from our orchard last week! 🍎
This was not a particularly bountiful year for our apples so they’re first come first serve at our farm stand.

We planted the orchard when we moved to the big farm in 2020, we’re excited to continue to nourish our orchard and look forward to many more years of fruitfulness!

The season is peaking, we’ve got lots of major p The season is peaking, we’ve got lots of major plants just about ready to harvest and that has us thinking, we could use another hand! 

If you like being outside & getting your hands in the soil apply at www.platodalefarm.com or use the link in our bio! 

As Field Hands we are the workers out in the field! That means that you should be comfortable in all kinds of weather. As the season progresses we experience, cold temperatures, direct sunshine, heat, wind, and rain. ☀️🌧️🌬️❄️

Our main jobs are planting, weeding, and harvesting. To accomplish these, we move our bodies… a lot! You should be comfortable with walking, standing, kneeling, squatting, bending for extended periods. 🌱🫑🧅🧄🥕🧑‍🌾

Bulk produce can be heavy, when we can we partner lift a heavy item, but you should be comfortable with lifting and maneuvering  heavy things. 💪

While out in the field there’s moments when we find ourselves working on an independent task or communally. It’s important that you’re comfortable staying on task and following directions. ☑️

The Great Garlic Harvest of 2025 Last week our c The Great Garlic Harvest of 2025 

Last week our crew harvested all 7 rows of garlic from the field! Like many things in our field this summer, our garlic had been taken over by weeds. We’re happy to report, we have some resilient garlic and the harvest went swimmingly and our garlic looks fantastic!! It’s laying out in one our barns to cure 🧄

Hey, hey you! Marshmallow hopes you have a good we Hey, hey you! Marshmallow hopes you have a good week 😁🐓

If you’re wondering why we’ve been running out of eggs quicker at markets this season, it’s because our egg layers are aging out; when chickens get older they don’t lay eggs as frequently. 

Marshmallow, and the rest of our new generation egg layers, are pullets and not laying quite yet but it sure is fun watching their personalities come out 😆🥚

Pictured is a lacto ferment pickle 🥒
Recipe below 👇

Using a quart jar put desired spices in. 

For this recipe I used garlic scapes, dill leaf, dill seed, pepper flakes, and a bay leaf

Then pack the cucumbers! Cut larger cucumbers into spears, small cucumbers can stay whole (remember to wash your cucumbers✨) the tighter you pack them the better they stay in place to prevent floating to the top of jar

Add two tablespoons of kosher salt

Fill pickle jar with water, covering cucumbers completely

Let sit out on the counter for about 3 days give or take, let the fermentation happen! You’ll need to “burp” the jars daily and sometimes twice a day during peak fermentation. Be aware - spillage can occur if they bubble over, place them in a bin or on a towel and monitor 

Put in the refrigerator, best enjoyed after a month of refrigeration to let all the flavors settle. Good for up to a year in the refrigerator! I am onto my last jar from last year, still crunchy and delicious with age 😋
The weeds are a jungle but it’s SO satisfying to The weeds are a jungle but it’s SO satisfying to see the pepper plants all cleaned up ✨

Weeders needed! Come work for food. A common que Weeders needed! Come work for food. 

A common question we get is how the cold spring has affected us. We planted a large portion of our crops this spring and they sat there, waiting for warmth, whole fields of crops. The heat has come and the crops are growing! The weeds are also growing, all at the same time. This is making it challenging for our crew to handle the weeds. 

Dm us if you’re interested in coming and helping us out!
