As a Pure Catskills member, you've made the Catskills home for your farm and family. Why do you farm in the Catskills? We asked attendees at the March Farm to Market Connection conference that same question. Below is the resulting video. Please help spread the word about the importance of and opportunities surrounding local foods, farms and land.

No Farms No Food!
American Farmland Trust has created a series of videos and infographics to help all of us communicate more effectively about the threat posed by farmland loss to the security of our local food supply in New York. Please share these new resources at meetings and gatherings, post on your website or blog, circulate through social media or email links to your contacts. Get people talking about the importance of local farmland to local food.
