FEELING COOP'D UP?
Strut out, get inspired and scale up with winter conferences, workshops and meet-ups.
It's Monday...What Better Day to Start.
Winter brings countless learning opportunities for new, beginner and seasoned farmers. Now's the time to plan, motivate and engage for the growing season ahead. Whether you're attending the Lucky Dog Local Food Hub workshop TODAY on "Producing for the Hub," or posting your last-minute registration for the NOFA-NY Winter Conference "Preserving the Past, Seeding the Future" on the 24th through 26th, there's no excuse to stay coop'd up this month.

But what if you're not ready for Big City Distribution? Scale up in smaller ways this year. Several Pure Catskills members are reaching out for vendors, products and assistance with 2014 ventures:
