You can find a lot of local fresh seasonal produce at grocery stores around the state. If your’s doesn’t carry local produce ask if they will start.
Another way to to find local produce is by going to the state’s many farmers’ markets. We have them all over the state and they are an affordable way to get fresh produce because you are buying straight from the farmers. It also means the produce is extremely fresh.
Fall is a great time for seasonal produce in Oklahoma. Many favorite fall dishes can be made using locally produced ingredients like apples and pumpkins.
If you consume animal products be sure to buy those locally as well. The more local ingredients you use the better. Your food will be fresh and you will be supporting your local economy and farmers.
