Who We Are

Mission

To illuminate and support elements of Oklahoma City’s diverse food, drink, and agriculture community through high quality and thoughtful creative non-fiction & fiction writing, impactful visuals, and meaningful events.

Method

Build readers’ empathy towards the unique people and businesses in our food and drink community through writing that includes both rich, intimate descriptions and context building global detail, visual art (photography and illustration) that highlights humanity and creativity, and opportunities for in-person engagement between readers, food and drink enthusiasts, and industry professionals.

Core Values and Beliefs

Access to nutrient rich, culturally appropriate, joyful food and drink is a human right.
Building an engaged, professional food and drink community is a key element in Oklahoma City’s ability to grow.
Stewardship of our environment, foodways, and resources is a personal and communal responsibility.
Knowledge of our food systems and the personal and communal role of food creates opportunity for meaningful action.
Thoughtful storytelling, which requires professional and compensated story tellers, changes beliefs and how we engage with others.
