Their website gives an overview of the products they carry, and it is significant. They have added things that aren't local, but perhaps regional, like citrus and avocados, for example. They work with a fisherman in Alaska who catches cod and rock fish wild and ships it frozen. That's kind of a Whole Foods price point but if you're craving fish it's a great option.
They don't allow you to come inside, so I just call them and start asking for stuff. They make recommendations. Then they assemble your order for you. They were busy Saturday so they needed an hour to put everything together.
The first week I ordered I asked about beef. That was on a Wednesday. They said they were sold out but would be getting a side of beef in Friday. So I got two fresh, not frozen, strip steaks and some of the best ground beef I have ever eaten, also fresh, from a small rancher near Enid.
We ended up buying like three pounds of the ground beef, by that time frozen, a couple of days later, and have since thawed a pound for some of the best chili ever. Sorry if this is making you hungry!
The chicken they had was only in the boneless, skinless variety . We actually went over to the old farmer's market and picked up some chicken from a local farm. It was not crowded at all and the vendors were spaced out from one another and wearing masks and paying attention to sanitation.
I really don't miss going to the supermarket at all. So yeah, the Urban Agrarian thing is keeping me sane. They are curating some great food from all around Oklahoma and they are moving a lot of food. They are open 7 days a week. They did tell me this has been good for their business.
NOTE: I'm talking about the one in Downtown OKC. They offer food from their Edmond location, too, but I haven't been there.
