Blooming Hill Farm, and the farm stand in Blooming Grove is open during the growing season and Saturdays throughout the year; located at 1251 State Route 208, Blooming Grove, NY 10914 in Orange County.
From Blooming Hill: "Blooming Hill Farm is a small, family owned and operated farm. We're located in an area that was once the breadbasket of the American Revolution and are now one of the few remaining farms in the region. Our farm stand is located in Blooming Grove, NY, about 60 miles north of Manhattan.
"The stand in Blooming Grove is open on weekends during the growing season, and Saturdays throughout the year. We are also at the Ramsey farmers market in Ramsey, NJ every Sunday until the end of March.
"We've just recently opened for dinner service on the weekends, every Friday and Saturday 5pm - 9pm."
A Bit of History
"Guy Jones started farming in the Hudson Valley in the early eighties, not long after he gave up his storefront law office in Albany, New York. In the beginning, Blooming Hill sold vegetables at farmers' markets locally and in New York City at the Union Square Greenmarket.
"Back then the farm still grew a very wide variety of specialty organic produce - some of it strange and new even for the burgeoning New York restaurant scene. This attracted the attention of up and coming chefs such as David Bouley, Mario Batali, Tom Colicchio and Michael Romano. These would-be restaurateurs began picking up produce from the farm's Greenmarket stand on a regular basis.
"Other chefs caught wind of this and began requesting that the farm try growing unique crops from then hard to obtain imported seeds. The farm answered these requests and the word began to spread. Before long Blooming Hill had a small but loyal group of wholesale customers, and was delivering weekly to restaurants in New York and the surrounding area.
"Today we're still known for our unaltered, eclectic and broad produce offerings - we grow and forage over 200 varieties of fruits and vegetables on a hundred acres in Orange County, NY, and we are proud to sell to some of the finest restaurants in New York City, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley."
