November is a time for reflection, where we pause to recognize how thankful we are for a region that offers so much, from natural beauty and landscapes that inspires us and revitalizes us, to the rich bounty that is tirelessly harvested from our treasured farms, giving us access to buy these goods and bringing them directly from their farms to our tables. We are quickly approaching the Thanksgiving Holiday, and if you've had time to think about planning your holiday meals, have you considered sourcing your ingredients from one of our local farms?

One of the most concurrent and beloved sentiments often described about the Catskills region is that our area is truly one of the best locations to experience all of the changing seasons. As we transition from a steamy and unusually wet August, we start to ease into a lifestyle that is accompanied by a more comfortable and more forgiving climate.
