J.B. Pratt
Owner
J.B. has been in the grocery business for decades, first as an independent retailer, overseeing the small set of Oklahoma stores he took over from his father in the late 1970s. Just after getting a medical degree, he took over the family business because he felt it was something he could do himself. He eventually expanded the business to open a few supermarkets, including one in Moore and another two in OKC. He brought his medical training into the grocery business, promoting healthy eating in his stores in the 1990s and 2000s.
Here is a 1986 article in The Daily Oklahoman: https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/1986/04/13/pratts-in-moore-innovative-supermarket/62729680007/
About 15 years ago, after closing all of the stores, he began selling locally-produced foods in the Oklahoma City metro at farmers markets. He has maintained his interests in medicine and health and enjoys reading up on supplements and natural foods.
J.B. began using Wellness Connection as the name for his food-related business after closing Pratt Foods in 2004 because he hoped to provide resources, products, and consulting on dietary, grocery, and food matters. But now it is about selling local foods.
His son John processes paperwork for Wellness Connection while also building up his own technology news website, http://dfork.news/. An earlier website John that co-founded, Fundable (2005-2009), was the source of the word "crowdfunding" (via a hobby offshoot that someone made, called Fundavlog). John sold the Fundable domain name to the current owners in 2010, just before crowdfunding took off.
The OKC Farmers Market is located in the Farmers District of downtown Oklahoma City, at 311 S. Klein. It is open every Saturday from 9AM to 2PM.

The deVine Natural Artesian Water Source is located in an extremely low populated area partially surrounded by government protected land known as the Great Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge along OK ST HWY 11. In 2003, this artesian well and the property adjacent was purchased by the McDermott Living Trust from the Brickman Estate. This natural water source is locally known as the "Artesian Well on Highway II".
Located just north of the Great Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, the main well was drilled in 1954 and since that time, this thirst quenching water has been available to the public at no charge. The McDermott's formed deVine LLC in 2003 to be the distribution arm for their water business. The McDermotts continue the free access as a means of service to locals and area travelers while still bottling and selling the bottled product for the consumer's convenience.
DeVine water owes it's origin to the last Great Ice Age 15,000 years ago, when clear, pure, pristine glacier waters flowed from the Colorado Ice Fields through northern Oklahoma and southern Kansas. The glacier waters were naturally trapped underground in natures purest groundwater reservoir (natural sandstone) where it was enhanced with healthy minerals stored by Nature from the Ice Age available now for your enjoyment.
