A Local Food Fair will be held July 14 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at
Harn Homestead located just south of the State Capitol at 1721 N. Lincoln.
Event chair, Stephanie Jordan, announced, "The main goal of this event  is
to get people to think about where their food comes from and the impact that
the answer to that question has on their health, their local economy and the
flavor of the food itself."  Sponsored by Central Oklahoma Chapter of Buy
Fresh Buy Local and Sierra Club Cimarron Group, admission is free to the
public.  

Seventeen local food vendors will be on hand to showcase and sell their
products sold regularly at area farmers' markets and/or through the Oklahoma
Food Cooperative.  (Please bring your own shopping bag to reduce waste.)
Members of sponsoring groups will prepare and provide free samples of each
vendor's items.  Attendees will be able to taste such foods as lamb stew,
buffalo burgers, tabouli, capreze salad, roasted garlic, deviled eggs, and
much more, all made with Oklahoma ingredients.  Copies of food recipes
utilized will be available as well and Oklahoma wine and beer will be set-up
for sampling purposes.

Representatives of several non-profits including Oklahoma Food Coop, Closer
to the Earth (will be collecting composting from event), Sierra Club
Cimarron Group, Central Oklahoma Chapter of Buy Fresh Buy Local and
Transition Town, and more will be available to talk with anyone who is
interested in learning more about sustainable living or getting involved
with their organization.  

In addition, Fenton Rood & friends will entertain with bluegrass and folk
songs throughout the evening.  Touring the Harn Homestead gardens and
historical buildings will also be free during the Local Food Fair.
