Commonwealth Urban Farms | 2011

Commonwealth Urban Farms recently joined Sustainable OKC, and we are already preparing our gardens for spring!

Commonwealth's mission is to grow food on vacant lots throughout Oklahoma City, to provide training and resources for a network of urban gardeners, to create jobs that contribute to individual and community health, to expand retail outlets for locally grown food, to turn waste to compost, and to connect neighbors and neighborhoods so that our common waste and underutilized resources become our common wealth.

We offer CommonWork days every Saturday from 9 am - 11 a.m. as an opportunity for the community to get their hands dirty preparing and working our gardens.  You are welcome to join us!

Buy Fresh Buy Local helps restaurants, grocers, caterers, wineries, farmer's markets, and local food producers promote their Oklahoma-grown products.

Some of our 2011 activities:

	* Distributed a free 2010-2011 Local Food Guide, a 12-page booklet directing consumers to local food in central Oklahoma
