Oklahoma’s Local Food Revolution Begins a New Chapter
No longer will corporate farming define what comes out of the earth and onto the dinner table. Farmers and consumers are realizing that growing big reaps little rewards. Sure, it’s hard work for small and sustainable farmers to get their crops into the local supply chain – but it doesn’t have to be. At Urban Agrarian, we make it easy for the farmer and the consumer.

Drawing from his experiences in the restaurant industry and organic farming, Oklahoma-native Matt Burch realized that local farmers and food producers didn’t have enough time to sell their goods at multiple markets and local restaurants. So in 2008, Matt launched Urban Agrarian to serve Oklahoma’s growing need for a local food distributor.
Today we run routes across the state in our trusty Veggie Vans (powered by biodiesel and CNG--compressed natural gas) picking up produce and other locally made food and delivering it to restaurants and markets across central Oklahoma. We also partner with the Department of Agriculture’s Farm to School program, which takes us to Oklahoma State University for weekly deliveries during the school year.
In short, we believe that eating local sustains Oklahoma’s agrarian economy. That’s why we give farmers the ability to expand their marketing reach and profits – growing the communities where they live and work. And for consumers? We offer them the ability to live off the land, even if they live in the city.
