The Made in Oklahoma Coalition was founded over 20 years ago with a mission to build brand awareness and consumer loyalty for Oklahoma made food and beverage products. Our goal is to strengthen and diversify Oklahoma’s food supply chain by assisting local businesses in marketing and promoting their products on a statewide, regional, and national level.
We are the cornerstone for what it means to be local in Oklahoma.
Supported by both public and private dollars in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, the Made
in Oklahoma Coalition is a non-profit membership organization for food and beverage companies that manufacture and produce
products in the state of Oklahoma. We continue to celebrate the spirit of Oklahoma entrepreneurship by supporting the local
business community by keeping Oklahoman’s apprised of the ways they can support their communities.
Made in Oklahoma Coalition members match public funds with private dollars to support sales in retail stores, local and national restaurants, and other non- traditional outlets. Additionally, the Coalition promotes Oklahoma products through statewide marketing campaigns, events, and the facilitation of business to business relationships in the industry.
