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.

Snider Farms is located in Hollis, OK, which is in the very southwest corner of Oklahoma. We’re about 5 miles from the Texas border. Most of the country around here is used for farming and ranching. The Snider family has been in farming and ranching in Texas and Oklahoma for at least 4 generations and now our sons are beginning the 5th generation. The way things are looking our daughter will also follow in those footsteps.
Snider Farms Peanut Barn began in 2006. We grew peanuts up until that time but for economic reasons decided to quit growing them and concentrate on cooking them. We buy our peanuts raw and already shelled, then cook them (in peanut oil, of course) and either flavor them or grind them for peanut butter. Our peanut butter is fresh-made and contains no preservatives or sugar – nothing but peanuts and a little salt! Or if you prefer, we’ll make it without salt. We can put together some really cute and unique gift boxes for you and will be glad to ship them anywhere in the United States.
The Peanut Barn is a family-owned and family-operated business. My parents help out nearly every day and our children step in when we get behind. We intend to keep it “family-operated” because no one would care about the quality of our products like we do. It is our goal to make sure our peanuts and peanut products are as fresh as possible because there is nothing worse than a stale peanut!
