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.

McGhee Honey Farms was founded in early summer of 1989 when Skeet Sanders took his son-in-law Terry McGhee as an apprentice and began to show him the joy and intricacies of bee keeping. Terry began with two hives that summer. At the end of that summer, Terry had accumulated 22 hives! Terry enjoys catching wild swarms; which not only grows his business but also alleviates a nuisance to the public when that swarm decides to make their home in inconvenient locations. Working with these new and growing hives over the next few years helped Terry realize that his dream of owning a family business was within reach.
Danny McGhee joined the team a few years later. He wanted to focus on the well-being and overall health of the hives. The final addition came in the spring of 2008 when Jerry McGhee and his wife Paula joined McGhee Honey Farms. They enjoy many aspects of the business and especially the many vendors they’ve built a strong business relationship with as well as lasting friendships.
Now it is officially a “family-owned business!” All members of the McGhee family regularly attend shows, farmer’s markets, and other events to showcase their growing and diverse product line. We enjoy new business from stores as well as individual private customers. Welcome to McGhee Honey Farms!
