BORN
OF
THE NORTH
We are born and bred in Upstate New York - comprised of locals who have lived and breathed the very fabric of this place.
We know the best swimming holes, we drive on the "Northway", we ski the icy mountains and we know the best ice cream is found at the gas station.
In everything we create, we strive to capture the essence of Upstate New York's uniqueness. 518tive is more than just a collection of products – it's an invitation to experience the soul-stirring magic that makes this region one-of-a-kind.
OUR MISSION
To celebrate the rich tapestry of Upstate New York's culture, traditions, and natural beauty, and the people who live there.
From the stunning landscapes that stretch from the Adirondack Mountains to the Berkshires, from the Hudson to Lake Champlain, and all along the Northway, 518tive represents the vibrant communities that embody the spirit of resilience and camaraderie of the north. We are the true essence of the 518.
From Germantown to
Champlain
