Get your 2008 Local Food Guide to Green Country and find the local foods available near your home or work, and throughout the region. 

The Local Food Guide lists sources for locally-produced fruits, vegetables, herbs, plants, honey, nuts, meats, eggs and other agricultural goods.  U-pick farms, farmstands, and other growers selling directly to the public are also included, as are farmers’ markets, local food markets, restaurants and caterers, so that food shoppers can know where to Buy Fresh Buy Local in Green Country.

One other source for local foods listed in the Food Guide is the Oklahoma Food Cooperative, where customer members can order a wide variety of good eats directly from farmers and ranchers.  The Food Guide also contains useful information about the seasonal availability of locally-produced foods in the northeast Oklahoma. 

Free hard copies of the Food Guide are now available for pick-up at library branches, county extension offices, local health departments and other places within the Tulsa area and throughout Green Country.  Click here for a complete list of locations.  If you have a spot where food guides could be placed, please contact Rita Scott (see her info at the bottom of this page).

Through the Food Guide and similar publications, along with promotional materials and activities to help farmers connect with local markets and customers, Buy Fresh Buy Local is making it easier for individuals, families and businesses to support local farms while making healthy food choices.  Contributions of time, funding and other resources are greatly needed to allow this vital work to continue and expand.
