Tulhoma offers a number of services to improve Oklahoma’s local food systems. Follow along on our Instagram for updates.
Supply Chain: The biggest thing we do is connect farmers to buyers. Often farmers must take a full day to deliver. Sometime that means they are renting a refrigerated truck for the day, which in itself can take hours away from their farm. We offer more options. Both one-time and consistent deliveries.
Restaurants and Schools: We connect buyers to farmers that make the most sense for them. The farmers’ scale and location and story. Buyers don’t need to search for the best fit, we already know many farms through our networks.
Certification: We help farmers achieve food safety and organic certification to allow them to sell to bigger buyers, like schools and grocery stores.
Marketing: We collect and organize farmers’ info, stories, interviews, and photos and provide cohesive storytelling. We show support to the buyers putting in the work through social media. We also want to encourage consumers to learn about seasonal items and the efforts it takes to get food on our tables.
Non-profit support: We team up with several non-profits to better solve our food systems problem as a group. This coordination reduces resources needed for all of us to achieve the same goal.
Call to Action:
- Consumers: support your farmers market, get involved with a CSA, and biggest ask: Ask your favorite restaurants and schools to suppor local. Share your local food on social media.
- Buyers (restaurants, schools, grocery stores, etc): support 3-4 farmers a month. Communicate best practices.
- Everyone: consider suppporting or donating to the non-profits who are making a change. OKC Food Hub, farmers markets, RG Foods, and freshRx are all great places to start.
