THE FARM
BetterTogether is located just outside the little town of Dougherty in south-central Oklahoma. We've been growing here for the past three seasons.
It's a family affair, started by us kids. We're in our late twenties and have been doing this farming thing for eight years. Our farm is certified organic, and we like to say we grow "beyond organic".
