Halito,
Chim Achukma from District 10! I hope you and your families are ready for the spring season!
The Choctaw Nation, Atoka Community and Reba McEntire have partnered together for an exciting grand opening of Reba’s Place in downtown Atoka, Oklahoma. The three-story historical building highlights the country music star’s accomplishments and memorabilia. Reba opened the restaurant with a small concert to the media and VIPs on January 26.
An exciting opportunity with this partnership is the Choctaw Nation Ranches being able to sell their own high-quality beef to the restaurant. They are collaborating with tribal members who own and operate a local processing facility. This will help maximize the ranches profits and provide a farm to table option in the local market. With the worldwide supply chain issues affecting the Choctaw Nation Reservation, this is a key step to mitigate the food sovereignty challenges that we will face in the future.
These are exciting times for Choctaw Nation as we grow our branded Beef Program and look to future partnerships.
Yakoke!
