WWW.BUYPURECATSKILLS.COM

BUY FRESH. BUY LOCAL.

About usPure Catskills is a buy local campaign that promotes farm and food businesses in the Catskill Region. Our goal is to increase support of the local food system. This guide is created in collaboration with farmers and purveyors of fresh food across Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster Counties. When farms thrive, our communities benefit in many ways.

Why buy local food?It tastes better.Food that is grown closer to home is fresher and tastes better.

It is better for you.Fresher food has more nutritional value.

It creates accountability.Farmers take responsibility for food that they sell directly to consumers who in turn know and trust the source of their food.

It supports the local economy.Buying from local farmers ensures that rural farming communities survive.

It protects the environment.Well-managed farms must maintain ecosystems that plants, animals and humans inhabit.

It preserves the working landscape.The sustainability of farming prevents unwanted and excessive development.

It is part of our culture.Losing our farmers would compromise an essential part of our cultural heritage.

It is an investment in the future.This year, our agricultural imports exceeded the value of our exports. A safe food system supports local farmers so that we can feed ourselves for generations to come.

About our logoDeveloped from the 1940’s era label of the Walton-Hamden Cauliflower Grower’s Cooperative, the Pure Catskills logo is a celebration of our regional heritage. From the 1920s to 1940s, local cauliflower was shipped in huge quantities via rail and

highway to ready metropolitan markets, making the Catskills synonymous with fine quality produce. The image of the logo exemplifies the long tradition of quality products from a working land-scape here in the Catskill Region.
