Originally from California, Courtenay Olivarez now proudly calls Oklahoma home and remains one of the most active and recognizable faces in the local vegan community. She is the owner of 1 More Bite, a fully vegan bakery and food company, a co‑founder of REV Fest, and a passionate supporter of Oklahoma’s animal sanctuaries. An ethical vegan for over a decade, Courtenay’s greatest joy is feeding as many people as possible with her creative, comforting, plant‑based goodies.

After a successful career in the corporate world, Courtenay followed her dream of opening a full‑service bakery. When she transitioned to a vegan lifestyle, the bakery transitioned with her — eventually expanding into vegan meats, cheeses, ready‑to‑eat meals, and a full lineup of baked treats that have become staples in the OKC vegan scene.

Courtenay is deeply involved in community activism and outreach. She has volunteered with Vegan Outreach, supported the Vegan Chef Challenge, and in 2025 became a co‑founder and creator of The Red Plains Peace Society, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about veganism, plant‑based living, and compassionate action throughout Oklahoma.

Every Saturday, Courtenay can be found at the OKC Farmers Public Market with Brittani — her favorite human — where they talk vegan food with anyone who will listen, feed anyone they can, and perform very serious “quality control” on each week’s offerings.

Courtenay and Brittani bonded over their shared love of delicious food, loud music, volunteer work, and critters of every kind. Disappointed by the lack of vegan festivals in the region, they did what any cupcake‑fueled duo would do: they decided to bite off way more than they could chew. And from that beautiful chaos, REV Fest was born.
