The Cherry Street Farmer's market is looking for a new location, and the Driller's stadium is being torn down... What better location for a farmer's market? Check out the Tulsa County website and tell Tulsa County to build a farmers' market on the old Drillers site! If you've been to the Broken Arrow farmer's market you know what it looks like when a municipality really puts their support behind farmers and sustainable agriculture.
Broken Arrow is way ahead of the curve, they have built a wonderful pavilion - it is a covered space with electric and water hookups for every vendor! Wow! It is really a shame that Tulsa doesn't have anything like this! How many millions of dollars did we pay to build a concert hall big enough to bring Britney Spears to town, but we still don't have a real farmers' market facility?
While the Cherry Street Farmers' market is considering other locations, Chelsea and I believe that a permanent, covered, year-round farmers' market at the fairgrounds would be the best solution for our customers, our farm, and all of Tulsa. We want to bring organic food and sustainable agriculture into the mainstream - and what better way to do that than by erecting the market on county land near the county fair!
