Tulsa's Cherry Street Farmers' Market Association is having wine
tastings at all of their September market dates--both Saturdays
(15th & Peoria) and Wednesdays (Brookside at 41st & Peoria).

The wine tastings will feature a different Oklahoma winery each week, giving customers the opportunity to taste several local wines.

Visiting Farmers' Market is a great way to be more of a 'locovore' Locovores believe that eating locally produced food offers a diet that is more environmentally sustainable, economically viable, and socially just. Check out the book: The 100-Mile Diet to learn more about this movement.

"The remarkable, amusing and inspiring adventures of a Canadian couple who make a year-long attempt to eat foods grown and produced within a 100-mile radius of their apartment.

When Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon learned that the average ingredient in a North American meal travels 1,500 miles from farm to plate, they decided to launch a simple experiment to reconnect with the people and places that produced what they ate. For one year, they would only consume food that came from within a 100-mile radius of their Vancouver apartment. The 100-Mile Diet was born." -- The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating  

Another great way to think globally and act locally is joining the Oklahoma Food Coop or stopping by Conrad Farms in Bixby.
