Osage Nation Harvest Land - Wallace Design Collective

Rooted in tradition and driven by purpose, Osage Nation’s Harvest Land is advancing food sovereignty and community resilience to strengthen the health and self-sufficiency of its people.

Located on 270 acres of donated land on the southeast side of Pawhuska, Harvest Land serves as a vital resource for sustainability, nutrition and cultural connection. The site features hoop houses, two aquaponics systems and robust crop production that supplies fresh produce directly to Osage Nation programs. Current crops include bell peppers, cantaloupe, cucumbers, okra, pumpkins, squash, sweet corn, heirloom corn, tomatoes and watermelons.

Wallace Design Collective provided civil and structural engineering services for the 44,000 square foot multipurpose building and a 40,000 square foot greenhouse, both situated on a 14-acre portion of the property.

Future plans include the addition of raised beds, construction of greenhouses and conversion of existing hoop houses into climate-controlled facilities. With grant applications underway to secure key equipment, Harvest Land aims to operate up to six greenhouses, expanding its reach and enabling year-round food production for the Osage Nation community.
