Promote Local Food

April Harrington established Earth Elements Farm in 1998, with the goal to build a sustainable natural farm producing herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Through the years Earth Elements Farm has grown certified organic produce, taught sustainable skills to both adults and youth, and value added a wide range of Oklahoma Agriculture. In 2007, she expanded Earth Elements Farm to include Earth Elements Market & Bakery, focused energies on crop preservation and reduction of crop waste. Utilizing seconds and surplus of locally produced ingredients, Earth Elements produces an extensive line of Baked goods, Canned goods, Dehydrated products, Frozen Ingredients, and Ready to Eat Casseroles and Entrees. Currently, Earth Elements works with 24 Oklahoma producers and produces in excess of 300 different products, averaging 44% ingredients purchased from Oklahoma producers.

In November 2006, April accepted an appointment to the Oklahoma Food Cooperative Board as Treasurer. For the last three years she has worked to establish accounting procedures and policies for the 3000+ membership. Her mission is to aid in the establishment of an alternative “LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM”.
