Welcome to the 2025–2026 Guide to Pure Catskills Products!

Pure Catskills is a regional buy-local campaign, developed by the Watershed Agricultural Council, that celebrates and promotes the hardworking farms, forests, and local businesses across the Catskills. Our mission is rooted in enhancing the economic vitality of the region, preserving the beauty and productivity of our working landscapes, and protecting the high-quality water that supplies millions of consumers in New York State. We’re proud to support producers in Delaware, Greene, Otsego, Schoharie, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties of New York State.

Choosing to buy local is a powerful way to celebrate and support what makes the Catskills so special. Every purchase from nearby farmers, artisans, and small businesses strengthens our communities and helps preserve the rural way of life that defines this region. Local food doesn’t just taste better—it’s fresher, more nutritious, and often harvested just hours or days before it reaches your table.

Your support also plays a key role in ensuring long-term food security by keeping farms and small businesses viable. These operations help protect our open spaces, maintain healthy soil, and safeguard clean water—all while providing meaningful work and community connection. Every purchase you make from a local producer is an investment in both environmental health and economic sustainability.

We invite you to experience it all firsthand—explore the region and meet the people behind the products. Visit Dream Weaver Farm in Richfield Springs (page 13), where a deep passion for the land guides everything they do. Stroll through Tenfold Farm LLC in Delhi (page 25) to get up close with their heritage-breed animals. In East Durham, Greene County Wool (page 41) raises sheep with care and integrity. Celebrate the season at Bell’s Christmas Trees in Accord (page 47), where holiday memories are made year after year. Watch a thriving organic dairy herd at Pepacton Farms Creamery in Bovina (page 71). Or wander the lavender fields and butterfly gardens at Jubilee Farms in Richmondville (page 81) a sensory experience like no other.
