• 1:02
  Speaker 3: We are very very busy, especially with spring time coming
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: on and the farmers growing all their produce were starting
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: to get loaded up with customers and with produce.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Well this is great.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about the Early Bird Market.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: How you got your idea for it? I know it
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: took you a good year and a half before fully
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: implementing it. But you were a very careful student of this.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Yes still are Yes.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: So I honor I honored the land and all these things,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: practicing permaculture and regenerative farming. And I didn't really know
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: what any of that stuff was until I started practicing
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: farming and all of that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: So I started.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: It was the COVID season, all that stuff, and I
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: was I was practicing growing mown food, and I did
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: a little bit when I was younger, not a lot,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: but when COVID hit and all that, I was like,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start playing around growing own food, having
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: some fun. And I really enjoyed it. When I had
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: my child, she was a little older, like she was
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: like one or two whenever COVID really hit, and I
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: decided I wanted to really focus on because I was
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: playing a video game called Stardoo Valley. I took a
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: lot of inspiration from that and followed it and decided
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I wanted to start a store farm and do all
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the things and build a community around what farming and
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: community is.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So right now you've got pretty good little you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: farm to fork operation.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: God, yeah, there to you and.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: All This is local, very local, very local. Within fifty
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: miles of Artlesville.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: You can't get much more local than that, No, you can.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You have local meat providers, yes, some ranchers that you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: do business with, Yes, and also with the produce people
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that are kind of famous around here.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They are for all good things. They're green and yummy.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, they are there.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: They're really taken off between them being at the farmers
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: market and being inside of the store. Many of my
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: produce providers are really starting to take off and make
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a name for themselves.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: This is really what it's all about.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: A little bit of teamwork, a little bit of hustle,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and just letting folks know that you're there. They'll always
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: find what's good for them. I found something that was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: good for me. You have a little company down in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Collinsville that does a little business with you with the mushroom.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Coffee, Yes, we do.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: And must wake you up that that'll do it. You
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: can feel the hair grow on.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You, yes you can. Yes, they all set.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: A barn if you do two cups. But that is all.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: That's all locally done.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: It is locally done.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: They grow everything themselves and then they put the ingredients together.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: They dry it out themselves. They also provide fresh mushrooms
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: throughout the week.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the fresh full you know, yes, well, text.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Me it's amazing. I love them. They're amazing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So that's just one of your many suppliers. So you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: right now you've got a cozy corner and it's plenty
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: accessible for folks and everything. But I'm a little worried
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because a lot of folks are finding out about you.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: They're gonna get crowded here real soon.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: I know it already is.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You know, these muscle bound types like me coming in there,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: just log in the old aisle.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: But no, you actually have freezers there full of meat
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that folks can purchase, and this is all you know.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You don't have to worry about additives.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: No, you have.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I have beef, I have pork, I have chicken, and
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I have bison as well, yes, sir, And then I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: working on I have a goat provider as well. I'm
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: just making some room to be able to have some
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of that option available.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: To good luck.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Those shelves are pretty full and freezers. Now, Early Bird
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Market is once again right downtown in Bartlesville, and once
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you get inside there, you're you're gonna feel at home.

• 5:07
  Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations. Not everybody can pull that off.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They just can't. It's one of those things where it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: either going to be there or it's not. And the
• 5:17

• 5:22
  Speaker 1: very easy on the eye, very easy on the mind.

  Speaker 1: just seeing what I could see. And I walked out
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: there with, you know, a big old sack of wall
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: mushroom coffee and a couple of other things ahead I'm saying,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty well set.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're stuck on that mushroom coffee. I love that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: People that love that. I got the last one you did,
• 5:55

• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Wait, I said, why is that? The next person behind you?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Just okay, I got it. Yeah, And so once again
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the early Bird Market is the place to be.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And the name of the building downtown.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Is the Itio Building.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It TiO Building, And so where you're gonna find Bambinos
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and a few other businesses too. But you're right there
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and nestled into the southwest corner of the Bambinos area
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: of the building and really easy to find. Nice little walk,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: very nice atmosphere in there too. You're not seeing signs
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: saying buy this, you know, screaming at you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Everything's very laid back and comfortable.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Well, the whole point of the store is I like
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: to I don't want people to just go in there
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: and spend money. I want them to make the decisions
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: that are going to be best for them. Yeah, so
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: many of my customers come in and just have conversations
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: with me, and we will go through the store and
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: talk about what's actually going to help them.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: And I'm still learning all.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Of the wellness stuff. When it comes to the herbal
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: teatures and stuff, I'm not a pro in that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So I but you're surrounding yourself with some.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yes there.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I have the professionals on speed dial so I can easily.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Get information for them.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So me and my customers don't just come in where
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: they're just expected to spend I want them to ask
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: questions and make education educated opinions for themselves and make
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the right decisions for their families.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Now, when it comes to the meat, a lot of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: folks want to know, you know, are are you taking
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know, your your proteins from places that we might
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: use additive in the feeds or are these natural?
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: These are all natural?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: So everything kind of like what we talked about last time.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Everyone chooses to do regenerative farming. That use it that
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I source all of my produce and meat from. And
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: some of them do grain finished or sorry, grass fed
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: grain finished because that's.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: What people prefer and it's very natural it is.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: And then there's people who do grass fed grass finished beef.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: And then the chicken is.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Pasture raised because you can't really control what a chicken's
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: going to eat at all times.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: No, chickens just do what chickens do.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Same with the pigs.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: But everyone is very very clean about what they are
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: offering to their animals and they practice regenerative farming even
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: with their animals.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Oh very good.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, So when folks that talk about the term regenderative farming,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: this means it's sustainable, it's going to last, and you're
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: doing what's good not only for the plants, but what's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: good for the earth.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: You're keeping the earth in mind and you're working and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: curating with the earth.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're not working against anything and we're not
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: going to tear anything up correct, basically going to be
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: taking what is intended for us.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, very good.
