SPOTLIGHT ON: Farmers' Market Promotion Project Our local Sullivan County farmers’ markets are often an initial space for new farm and food businesses. The Sullivan Catskills Farmers' Markets campaigns, launched in 2016, continue to collectively organize and promote each individual farmers’ market within Sullivan County. In 2021, the county hosted 11 seasonal and one year-round farmers’ market, along with four mobile market stops in food desert communities. Advertising the markets collectively to both residents and tourists in the Western Catskills has proven to be effective in increasing Farmers Markets' attendance and spending at markets.
