The Osage Nation's Harvest Land Farm is a key program site for the Sovereign Futures convening. For Sovereign Futures, Chef Ben Jacobs will be cooking an meal for attendees using ingredients grown at Clark-Asberry Homestead Ranch in North Tulsa–one of the last independently owned Black farms in Osage County, run by Dr. Rodney Clark, who is a descendent of the 1921 Greenwood massacre, and his wife, Sheila Clark–and Osage Nation’s Harvest Land Farm.

Jacobs, a tribal member of the Osage Nation of northeast Oklahoma, is Co-founder of Tocabe: An American Indian Eatery and Tocabe Indigenous Marketplace based in Denver, Colorado. For over a decade on a national level, Jacobs has worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). While advocating for feeding Native peoples, his work with FDPIR has included traveling to tribal communities supporting how best to incorporate local and traditional ingredients in collaboration with commodity ingredients to support better individual health and nutrition.

Clark-Asberry Homestead Ranch in North Tulsa. It is owned by Rodney and Sheila Clark and located within a food desert. Customers can see first-hand vegetables growing in the Greenhouse and meat products raised on the farm. Guests can sample selected "specials" of the day.
