Welcome to the Oklahoma Food Cooperative

We only sell food and non-food products that are made in Oklahoma.

We are an easy way to shop -- order online and then pickup at one of our many pick-up sites statewide.

Think of us as your online farmers market.

The monthly order opens on the 1st day of each month at 8 AM, and closes on the 2nd Thursday of each month at midnight.  Delivery day -- when you get your groceries -- is always the third Thursday of the month.

We generally have 4000+ different items available each month.

As of the fall of 2011, the coop has over 4,000 members, 125 of them are producers.

It costs $51.75 to join the coop ($50 for the share, $1.75 processing fee).  That buys you one share in our cooperative business.  Producers pay 10% of their sales for selling through the coop, and customers pay 10% for buying through the coop.  Click this link to Join the Coop.. 

We are an all-volunteer organization and membership activations are thus done by volunteers.  Therefore, please allow 8 days for activation if you mail a check, and 2 days for activation if you pay via PayPal. 

If you are low income, you can apply for a membership paid for by a fund donated by members.  To apply for a low income membeship, send an email to president@oklahomafood.coop .

At the Oklahoma Food Cooperative, we do not sell any mystery food.  You know exactly who produced the food, where it was grown or raised, and what production practices the farmer or rancher uses. You don't just order five pounds of generic hamburger, you order it from a specific producer.  Our food has a story, and you -- as a customer of locally raised foods -- are part of that story.  You are a co-producer with our farmers and ranchers.  We as a cooperative are re-creating a local food system here in Oklahoma.  We are discovering the unique and authentic regional tastes of this area.  We are rejecting the idea of food as a commodity, as mere fuel, and are rediscovering the importance of local food production to healthy local communities.

By definition, a cooperative is owned by its members, and we hope each of you develops a strong sense of ownership in what we are doing. We have worked hard to develop a system which we think is workable, and which can be scaled up as membership and monthly orders increase.  Click this link to Join the Coop.

This is a wonderful adventure that we have called together here. We have brought together producers and customers into the same organization. Among our producer and customer members we find a diversity of lifestyles, beliefs, cultures and religions. Even so, we find common ground based on our mutual need for a marketplace where we can find good, healthy, nutritious local foods. We are focused on meeting local needs with local resources. We will discover new ways to participate in neighborhood and community.

A journey of one thousand miles begins with one step. Who knows where this adventure will lead us, but we will certainly get there, one step at a time. The day may yet come when a small neighborhood Oklahoma Food Cooperative pick-up site is within bicycle-riding distance of most households in the state.

Thank you again for your participation. Y'all bon apetit, you hear?

Cooperatively yours,

Lisa Weissenbuehler, President, Oklahoma Food Cooperative
