Outstanding!! 👏 👏 👏
🌾 Look What’s About to Open Its Doors in Crawfordville…
There’s something special brewing right here in Wakulla County — and it’s not just coffee or fresh bread (though you’ll find plenty of both when they open soon).
We reached out to Zachary Oaks, the local mind and heart behind Oakmens Country Market, and after hearing his story, we couldn’t be more excited for what’s coming to 5 Shadeville Rd in Crawfordville.
Zachary told Live in Crawfordville that they’re just waiting on their final inspection and expect to open within the next few weeks — and from the sound of it, it’s going to be worth the wait.
After spending years gaining experience elsewhere, Zachary moved back home to Wakulla with a clear vision:
👉 to build a place where the community can shop, eat, and gather — all while supporting local farmers, bakers, and artisans.
Oakmens Country Market will bring together a farm-to-table restaurant and a true country-style market, filled with locally sourced goods, homemade breads, fresh produce, and one-of-a-kind items that reflect the best of Wakulla County.
When we spoke with Zachary, it was clear that his passion runs deep. He’s an entrepreneur-minded local with big dreams and genuine roots — someone determined to create something meaningful right here where it matters most.
💬 “It’s about giving back to the place that raised me,” he said. “I want people to be able to buy local, eat local, and support local — all in one stop.”
That kind of vision is what keeps Wakulla special — a community that grows while staying true to itself.
