Oklahoma's Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry and the State Department of Health are collaborating on a special event Saturday at the Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City Farmers Market in the Horticulture Pavilion, 400 N Portland Ave.

The special event, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., is called FEAST: Food Education, Awareness and Security Transfer.

This feast will fill you with information about safe, abundant and nutritious food choices available locally.

“The FEAST event and ‘Farm To School' launch is an excellent way to have dialogue with Oklahoma consumers about food policy and what is important to them when they are making food purchasing decisions,” Secretary of Agriculture Jim Reese said.

“This will be a great day full of health and nutrition information and local food.”

Vendors from throughout the food industry will be on hand to educate you about food and nutrition choices and options.

Demonstrations on a number of food subjects are scheduled, from food preparation to decoding food labels.
