Devotional – July 24, 2025

This is something everyone should know about, and in a time when it is difficult for many to be compassionate, this effort is leading the way to be equitable and caring beyond themselves.  And, at the end of this description is a link to the persons who helped make all this happen. 

It is called Harvest Land Impact  (Osage Nation)

“In Pawhuska, Oklahoma – right in the heart of a food desert – sits Harvest Land: 40,000 sq ft of greenhouse growing fresh produce year-round, plus orchards, chicken coops, and a 44,000 sq ft facility with aquaponics for 600 fish. This is what food sovereignty looks like.” 

“But here’s what’s incredible: they’re not just feeding their tribe. The Harvest Land Mobile Market drives to towns with no grocery stores, no Dollar General, nothing – bringing fresh vegetables to places like Hominy, Wynona, and Bowring. 10,000 pounds of produce annually.”

“‘We are in a food desert, and we don’t just tend to the tribe, we tend to the community,’ says Director Dawn Wormington. The Osage Nation is literally growing their way out of food insecurity – and bringing their neighbors with them.”

Here is a link to an Oklahoma State University article about an individual associated as well with this project.  Osage Nation – Harvest Impact

Thank you for feeding the hungry and helping so many who are underserved.  

Peace Be With You. – Paul
