Becken Farms
Nestled in Sanborn, New York, Becken Farms is a family-run staple in the Niagara County community, built on generations of hard work and a deep connection to the land. What began as a humble family effort to grow and share quality produce has grown into one of the region's most beloved farm stands, known for its variety, warmth, and true farm-to-table experience.
Their fields and orchards produce an impressive range of seasonal offerings — from the first asparagus of spring to crisp fall apples, along with juicy berries, sweet grapes, fresh vegetables, and local beef. Beyond the harvest, Becken Farms also offers honey, baked goods, and specialty items that make every visit a little extra special. Shopping with Becken Farms through FreshFix means tasting food at its peak — fresh, seasonal, and grown with care by neighbors who take pride in every crop they bring to your table.
Apples can be stored both a room temperature or in the fridge, depending on how fresh they are and how long you want them to last. If storing at room temperature, make sure that they are in a cool area and away from direct sunlight. If storing in the fridge, be sure to keep in the fruit side of your crisp and they will last for several weeks or even months.
Add apple slices to banana and yogurt for a refreshing smoothie. If you have apples that are too mushy to eat, cut them into slices and freeze for use in a smoothie. Add diced apples to root vegetables like beets, sweet potato and carrots and roast in a 425 oven until tender. Have apple slices with almond or peanut butter for quick, filling snack. Also try apple slices with goat, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese and nuts.
Apples are a good source of both fiber and vitamin C. But be sure to eat the peel since that’s where most of the fiber and anti- oxidants are found. Apples con- tain natural pectin that helps stim- ulate healthy digestion. The also contain vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folate and potassium in smaller amounts. They make a great healthy portable snack.
