The Local Food Rescue Program:
A TFM + FBEO Partnership

The Local Food Rescue Program is a partnership between Tulsa Farmers’ Market (TFM) and Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma (FBEO). Building on the foundation of FBEO’s Oklahoma Farm to Table Program, the Local Food Rescue Program exists to support local farmers and shield them from the risk of overharvesting for the farmers market. Any unsold produce remaining post market is purchased by FBEO for its area distribution. This promise of purchase by FBEO, provides security to farmers, keeps excess produce out of landfills, and allows individuals who may be experiencing food insecurity to enjoy the very freshest foods available.
