When a monumental solution is presented to our elected leaders, shouldn't they join the conversation?

When a transformative, market-based framework is presented directly to state leadership—one that strengthens rural economies, keeps 90 cents of every food dollar in local counties, and pre-positions off-grid emergency assets at zero cost to taxpayers—engaging with that vision isn't just courtesy; it's good governance.

Elected officials regularly champion value-added agriculture and rural resilience. When military veterans present a fully realized, private-sector solution like OZY’s multi-node model that turns those exact policy goals into action, our leaders owe it to their constituents to take a seat at the table.

**Are you listening, Governor Sanders?**

When independent veterans build a private-sector system that retains 90% of food dollars in local Arkansas counties, pre-positions disaster-relief assets at zero taxpayer cost, and puts farm families first—should our state leadership reach out?

Arkansas agricultural policy champions value-added infrastructure, direct-to-consumer freedom, and rural economic growth. We have brought a turnkey, multi-node model to the table that delivers on all three without asking for state subsidies or tax hikes.

When a monumental solution is presented to our elected leaders, shouldn't they join the conversation?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Are You a Bold Leader when it comes to Family Farms?

This multi-node model directly aligns with the economic and policy priorities of Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the Arkansas Department of Agriculture.

Why the Administration Should Support This Framework

* **Aligns with Arkansas Value-Added Ag Initiatives:**

* The Governor’s office and the Arkansas Department of Agriculture actively promote programs like the *Arkansas Grown Grant* and the *Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure (RFSI) Program* to build in-state processing, middle-of-the-supply-chain infrastructure, and value-added agriculture.

* Retaining **90% of food dollars inside rural Arkansas counties** (via 65% producer payouts and 25% local OpEx) achieves the state's stated goal of capturing more of the supply chain locally rather than exporting revenue to out-of-state corporations.

**Veterans and Emergency Resilience:**

* Leveraging **SBA VetCert / GSA Surplus priority access** as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to station dual-use emergency assets (containerized kitchens, tactical generators) in rural counties fits directly into state emergency management goals.

* It provides off-grid county disaster resilience without requiring state legislative appropriations or local tax hikes.

**Fulfills the Intent of the Arkansas Food Freedom Act:**

* State leadership supported expanding the *Arkansas Food Freedom Act* to reduce regulatory red tape for micro-processors and direct-to-consumer farm sales.

* Establishing dedicated retail nodes gives independent producers a reliable, year-round commercial outlet that doesn't rely on major corporate integrators.

**Fosters Rural Economic Development:**

* Agriculture drives over **$20 billion annually** to the state economy, but small family farms face significant consolidation pressures.

* Injecting millions in stable cash flow directly into rural family farms (such as in Carroll and Conway counties) protects working land, creates local jobs, and strengthens county sales-tax bases without asking for state subsidies.

Key Positioning for State & Local Officials

1. **Private Sector Efficiency:** "We are bringing federal equipment resources into Arkansas at zero cost to the taxpayer to build private-sector logistics infrastructure."

2. **Farmer First Economics:** "We are shifting the margin split back to working Arkansas farm families, guaranteeing they keep 65 cents on the dollar."

3. **County Emergency Readiness:** "We are giving local County Judges and OEM Directors pre-positioned emergency mass-feeding and power assets run by trained military veterans."

Which side of history are you on Governor?

We are the solution. We are Veterans. We get the job done. We are coming to Arkansas and beyond.

**Rebuilding Local Resilience Starts at the Grocery Shelf 🌾🏛️**

To our local city council members, county commissioners, and community leaders:

For decades, small towns and rural communities have watched the traditional grocery model siphon money out of our local economies. When big-box retailers take up to 70% of a purchase while leaving our local farmers with a razor-thin 15%, our tax bases shrink, our farms disappear, and our local dollars vanish overnight.

**OZY Community Stores** is flipping that script. We’ve engineered the world’s first decentralized, farm-direct retail engine designed to build real, lasting local wealth.

Here is why this matters for the future of our municipality:

* **Producer-First Economy:** We guarantee **65% of every dollar spent** goes directly back to our local farmers, raw dairy producers, and ranching families—keeping our regional agricultural land in production and securing our local food supply.
* **Automated Capital Retention:** Using modern POS automation, every single transaction automatically routes earnings into local operations, producer payouts, and a dedicated **10% Civic Reserve Fund**—locking capital right here in our community rather than exporting it to out-of-state corporate HQs.
* **Dual-Purpose Community Infrastructure:** An OZY node isn't just a retail store. During normal operations, it’s a vibrant local marketplace. During regional emergencies or grid disruptions, it converts into an off-grid community hub powered by solar/battery storage and equipped with cold-storage capabilities to protect our residents.

We are building more than a store—we are building regional stability, economic sovereignty, and an anti-fragile local economy.

Let’s partner to protect our agricultural heritage and build a stronger, self-sustaining community for generations to come.

*Subject: Rebuilding America’s Food & Local Economy: The OZY 65/25/10 Economic Engine**

If we want to **Make America Healthy Again** and secure our nation’s food independence, we must decentralize our agricultural supply chains and empower local communities.

At **OZY Community Stores**, we have designed a scalable, farm-direct retail and logistics model powered by the **65/25/10 Economic Engine**—a proven capital allocation model built to retain local value, reward independent producers, and establish resilient community hubs.

Here is how the **OZY 65/25/10 Model** drives real structural change:

🌾 **65% Direct to Farmers & Local Producers**

The industrial food system squeezes local farmers out of existence, forcing them onto pennies on the dollar. Under our model, **65% of every dollar** goes directly back to local, heritage-breed, chemical-free farmers and producers. This restores financial viability to independent American agriculture and ensures consumers get nutrient-dense, raw A2 dairy, grass-fed livestock, and clean produce.

🏬 **25% Dedicated to Local Store Operations & Sustainable Infrastructure**

A robust local supply chain requires real, physical infrastructure. **25% of revenue** covers local store operations, modern cold storage, off-grid energy infrastructure, and hyper-local logistics nodes. This keeps operational dollars circulating right inside the township, generating real jobs and infrastructure that central corporate chains cannot liquidate.

🤝 **10% Reinvested into Community Growth & Regional Expansion**

To build a national network of resilient communities, **10% is directly reinvested** into launching new community store nodes, funding local farm-to-market initiatives, and supporting grassroots agricultural educational programs.

**Why Government Leadership & Policy Reformers Should Take Note:**

* **Health Security is National Security:** Rebuilding soil health and food purity directly tackles the chronic health crisis facing American families.
* **Economic Decentralization:** Instead of funneling wealth to multinational food conglomerates, this framework builds self-sustaining economic engines across rural and suburban America.
* **Turnkey Infrastructure:** We are proving out this model at the grass-roots node level—showing that localized, decentralized retail is not just viable, but economically superior for long-term community strength.

It’s time to move beyond top-down subsidies and support real market solutions that put American farmers, local food choice, and healthy families first.

The Lady's Tamales are at our store!!

This skillet scramble layers sliced pork or chicken tamales with soft eggs, melted cheese, and a quick homemade fresh tomato-jalapeño picante sauce.

Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Servings: 4

Fresh Picante Sauce

4 medium ripe tomatoes, finely diced

1 large jalapeño, finely minced (seeds removed for milder heat)

1/2 small yellow onion, finely diced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tbsp lime juice

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cumin

Tamale & Egg Skillet

4 fresh tamales (pork, beef, chicken, or jalapeño & cheese), husks removed and sliced into 1/2-inch coins

6 large eggs, lightly beaten with a pinch of salt and black pepper

1 tbsp butter or vegetable oil

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese

Fresh cilantro and sliced avocado for serving

1. Make the Picante Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, minced jalapeño, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cumin. Stir well and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the juices to release and flavors to meld.

2. Crispy Tamale Base
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced tamale rounds in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until the edges are golden-brown and crisp.

3. Soft-Scramble the Eggs
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the beaten eggs directly over and around the warmed tamale slices in the skillet. Gently push the eggs across the pan with a spatula to form soft curds while keeping the tamale coins intact.

4. Melt Cheese & Serve
When the eggs are just set, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Remove the skillet from heat, cover with a lid or foil for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts. Spoon generous dollops of the fresh picante sauce over the warm skillet and finish with cilantro and avocado.

Real Food is not expensive. At Ozy's, we make it easy to find farm direct food for your whole family.
