Pure Catskills
Pure Catskills is a regional, buy local campaign developed by the Watershed Agricultural Council to improve the economic viability of the local community, sustain the working landscapes of the Catskills and preserve water quality in the NYC Watershed Region. Pure Catskills works to promote hundreds of farm, forest and local businesses throughout Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster Counties in New York State.
When we first began this initiative in 2004, we started with a small group of farmers in the Catskills region. Now, we represent nearly 350 diverse farm and forest-based businesses, restaurants, local artisans, other non-profit organizations, and accommodations. The brand of Pure Catskills is evolving to properly represent the diversity of its membership base and seize current market opportunities to create economic opportunity for its members.
As we look to the future, the development of the regional food system, ongoing concerns about the environment, and consumer demand for high-quality, natural products made in the Catskills, our answer is Pure Catskills which has set itself apart by being a premium, and trusted brand for food and forest products.
