WWW.BUYPURECATSKILLS.COM

BUY FRESH. BUY LOCAL. About us Pure 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.

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 landscape here in the Catskill Region.

62nd Annual Junior Livestock Show Farmers’ Museum, Cooperstown The annual Junior Livestock show is a true celebration of youth in agriculture.

The show is the second largest youth competition in the state and the only one of its kind sponsored by a museum in the United States. The event—a rural tradition in central New York—brings together the area’s best livestock and youth exhibitors from a nine-county region.

More than 300 youth handlers and 750 animals are expected to participate. The event tests the skills of participants (ages eight to eighteen) who present animals (dairy cows, beef, swine, goats, and sheep of various breeds) that they own, care for, and have prepared for competition.

Locations: Iroquois Farm showgrounds. www.farmersmuseum.org
