Homemade chicken street tacos and other items found at the Farmer's Market at Scissortail Park.

Made from the market

What to make with all those goodies you found at the Farmers Market at Scissortail Park? We have an idea.

While visiting the Farmer’s Market at Scissortail Park, Oklahoma Gazette staff sampled the wares of several vendors to create a healthy and flavorful locally sourced lunch with a base of free-range chicken breasts from WH YardBirds. After selecting a robust Mexican spice mix from Nourished Roots Spice Co., sourcing some organic tomatoes, greens, and a ripe watermelon at Acadian Family Farms along with spicy peppers, onions, and garlic at A&H Urban Farms, the meal was almost complete. A heaping helping of Hank’s Salsa perfectly rounded out the dish while OKC Soda Co. came in clutch with their refreshing, naturally-flavored sodas.
