Marla Saeger is an accountant by trade, but from April to October she's also the president of the Tahlequah Farmer's Market. With the market season coming to an end, she's leading a farm-to-school program. Her message: Eat local and make healthy choices. Marla says that it broke her heart when she found out that many students didn't have access to fresh vegetables. Six years later, this Chickasaw woman has grown her farm-to-school program to reach all third graders in the Tahlequah Public School system. "We give them 12 veggie bucks. They come out one classroom at a time. We take a mini market with a few vendors to each of the elementary schools and most of the food you see today was picked yesterday. It's about as fresh as you can get it," says Marla. When the Tahlequah Farmer's Market got started more than a decade ago, only six vendors participated. Today 44 are part of the market. This year the state recognized Marla as one of the significant women in Oklahoma agriculture for her contributions in promoting farming and growing a healthier Oklahoma. "It's much better for your entire system. It's better for your brain and better for your blood flow. It's just all around good for you," she explains. "As a Chickasaw, to be able to make a difference like this, in this kind of fashion, means everything. It means everything to me."
