UPDATE COMING ON PRICING FOR THIS TO BE UNDER STATE INSPECTION!
Stage 1: The FARM, live poultry would need to be grown on a farm.
Stage 2: The FACILITY, the live poultry would need to undergo harvesting at a facility.
Stage 3: The FARM STORE, the finished ready to cook poultry products would need to be offered for retail sales to the public at the farm store.
In 2015, when the 3Fs plan was being created there were no poultry processing facilities open to the public in the state of Oklahoma. The planned route for the product was perfect but there was no way to accomplish the plan. The farm had no options to have
the poultry it grew harvested, and the farm store would have no products to offer to the consumer and the
facility didn’t exist. This changed the plan only in the fact that 3Fs would need to build its own facility. The
plan now had the steps laid out for the products and the steps laid out for the implementation of that plan.
In the fall of 2015, 3Fs began building the facility. The facility would operate as a fee for service-based
business. The facility would serve as a pivotal part of the 3Fs operations. The income from the facility would be
used to grow the farm first and the farm store last. 3Fs processing facility opened in 2017 as a custom
processing facility, so the poultry products could not be sold to the public. 3Fs used this time to develop a
specialized HACCP plan unique to the facility. In 2019, the facility transitioned to an Oklahoma state inspected
facility, under this licensing all products could be sold to the public. The inspection services brought in a new
customer base of poultry producers from all over Oklahoma and surrounding states. The facility was able to
provide a service to poultry producers and this service boosted hundreds of Oklahoma Poultry producers’
businesses as well as had a trickledown effect improving the income and stability of many agriculture and retail
businesses. Also, in 2019 when the facility became state inspected 3Fs used the income and the facility to start
growing the farm. 3Fs started selling to individual consumers as well as wholesaling poultry products to meat
distributors in Oklahoma. In 2023, the facility became an Organic poultry processor as well as began to finalize
the plans for Stage 3 the FARM STORE.
Currently 3Fs is undertaking Stage 3 of the business plan, THE FARM STORE.

accomplish these activities and critical risks or concerns that must be addressed in order to make this project a success
3F’s Family Farm Store & Farmers Market Hub
Adding a retail Farm Store & Farmers Market Hub to the existing processing facility is a low-cost approach to
address the challenges of many costs. The addition to the facility will require limited infrastructure and staffing.
The project activities involve the construction of a retail establishment used for the sale of dairy, produce,
meats, poultry, fish, and other basic supplies needed by consumers. The project will begin in December 2023
and will involve construction of a concrete foundation, framing, roofing, electrical installation, and interior
finishing. The goal of this project is for products to reach consumers. The project should be completed by
November 2024.
