Who We Are
Bridging the gap between
Oklahoma farmers + communities by increasing access + opportunity
The OKC Food Hub is a 501(c)(3) non profit organization established to build a better food system in the OKC metro and beyond by:
Advancing Equity
through centering the needs and challenges faced by a diverse group of small-midsize farmers.
Increasing Access
to local foods in the state of Oklahoma.
Providing Advocacy & Education
to purchasers, producers, network of food system support organizations, and the community at large around systems based solutions to local food procurement.
Creating a Collaborative, Relationship-Driven Space
for all local food system stakeholders to grow, innovate, and thrive.
We envision an accessible, equitable, resilient local food system that takes care of people & the planet.
Our Values
Farmers Come First
Without farmers there is no food. We strive to offer farmer support services, purchasing power, and advocacy to build community around farming.
Relationships Over Profit
We work with producers, purchasers and support organizations to meet people where they are at, moving forward at the speed of trust.
Invest In Community
We collaborate to build a better food system by working together, promoting each other, and sharing resources. We aim to be a tide that lifts all boats.
Diversity = Resilience
Different perspectives and ways of doing things make us stronger and better equipped to deal with changes which inevitably occur. We actively seek to build diversity into every level of our organization from producers to staff to the communities we serve.
Transparency
We know every farmer personally and visit every farm regularly to make sure our community knows exactly where each product came from and how it was grown.
Respect for Environment
We are always seeking to improve our relationship with the earth as we work towards more regenerative growing practices, compostable/reusable packaging, alternative energy sources, conservation practices and locally sourced farm inputs.
How We Began
Jenna Moore & Thanh Tran co-founded the OKC Food Hub in 2022, as they saw a need for convenient, local wholesale purchasing and distribution across Oklahoma. Both of them had been active in various local food efforts for many years, and both continue to be passionately involved in supporting local food systems development across the state.
