OK Local Ag Collaborative Newsletter
May 2022
Hello everyone!
Thank you for being a part of the Oklahoma Local Ag. Collaborative (OLAC). We can’t wait to help meet your needs by sharing resources, providing workshops, and helping you build networks to support the growth of Oklahoma’s local food system! We launched OLAC at the Oklahoma Local Ag Summit with lots of enthusiasm and are excited to keep up the momentum.
A major priority for OLAC this spring is in the development of OLAC’s digital resource hub. We hope to see the website launch in late June! This website will host a statewide event calendar where we will share ALL agriculture partner’s events in one place. In the meantime here are a few events.
