Seed to Table Market Set to Open Nov 2017
In response to resident inquiries, Alfie Oakes, founder and CEO of Naples-based Oakes Farms, said, “There’s still a lot to be done, but it’s coming for sure! I’m real optimistic that we’ll make our Nov. 6, 2017 date. It seems like it’s far away, but there’s still so much to be done.”
What’s the significance of Nov. 6? It’s not only the date Alfie Oakes and his father, the late Frank Oakes, opened the original Oakes Farms Market on Davis Boulevard in East Naples more than 20 years ago, but it’s his late grandfather, Banny Oakes’, birthday too!

Hello, I was trying to find a site or information on hiring or open positions for seed to table market! I currently work at one of your competitors and have been there for almost 5 years now, and was with publix for 6 before that. Always open to an opportunity for growth in my career. I work customer service. Thank you for your time!

It is best to talk to Dan StMartin, the manager at Oakes Farms Market on Davis Boulevard about employment at the store.

Oh ok, thank you!

My name is Kris Mcguinness with Earthcare Landscape Services here in Naples fl. We are a family owned company and I actually drive by All the stores almost everyday. Food for thought has the best food. My family after yoga on Saturday’s goes there every Saturday. I was wondering if you had a landscape Professional in the community already. If not or are unhappy with one I would be happy to come out and give some prices. I believe we would be a great fit for Oak Farms and all the locations. We strive on customer service, quality and family being number 1. We’ll thank you for your time. Give me a call, email. I’d be happy to come out. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Kris –
Thanks for reaching out. We currently have an employee that handles outdoor staging and care of the plants brought in direct from our nursery. However, if you would like to talk to him to see if an opportunity to collaborate exists, please ask for Kirk.

When is the Grand Opening? We’d like to be there !
Mollie Page
At this time, the new store on Immokalee Road is scheduled to open in November 2018. We will provide grand opening details and progress updates as they become available and look forward to your patronage when it opens.
Sharon
November 2018. So anxious,,,
Libby Kendrick
We were so disappointed to return to Naples recently and discover your new store on Imokolee is still in construction mode. I assume Hurricane Irma has something to do with that. Are you still planning on getting that store open sometime? What is the status of the construction and do you have a new opening date yet? Thank you.
Mollie Page
Hurricane Irma created challenges for many companies in the area. In fact, our farms suffered greatly and we have been working hard to rebuild many of our fields. The new store’s construction and progress is very important to Alfie – as he wants it to be the best for the community. At this time, we are planning a November 2018 opening date.

I submitted a resume’ in September 2016 for the new location when the new location was being built. I am still very much interested in working there. At the time there were a number of applications being submitted based on the amount of them my resume’ was put on. Should I resubmit my resume’.

We’re experiencing delays in construction and the store’s opening has been moved to 2019. We’ll announce when we are ready to accept applications again when the time comes. Your interest and patience is appreciated.

Mollie Page
Please call a manager at the Oakes Farms Market store on Davis and they will be able to tell you when applications for employment at the new store will be accepted.

Good morning. I have a plea that Seed To Table will be more like Food and Thought. 100% organic, good prices, great produce and nummy prepared food, and delicious meals! For a person who has painful intolerance to preservatives, Food and Thought is a Godsend. And the people are wonderful. It is the only grocery store I don’t have to read labels and the only restaurant I can order ANYTHING from. I have brought many friends to Food and Thought for a meal and told many more about your place. Thank you for making such an amazing place! Oh and the orchids now blooming in the patio on the trees are gorgeous. We also enjoy the music. 🙂
Mollie Page
Your comments are very nice to receive. The Seed to Table store will have a much larger selection of organic options than Food & Thought. You will be very pleased when it opens. We do not have a secure date yet, but keep watching the news!
