Get Fresh with your Local Farmer!
Take the Catskills Buy Local Challenge
September is Buy Local Month in the Catskills! Farm Catskills and
the Pure Catskills buy local campaign are teaming up to get our community involved with the Buy
Local Challenge, a pledge to spend $10 weekly on local food.
With so many crops in season and a bounty of events on the calendar, it's a great time to to celebrate our local farms. Search for farms or view our web calendar to learn more about what's happening in the region.
Help us show our community that there's strong support for local agriculture in the Catskills region. .
