"Welcome to the happiest place in the universe." That's the can't-miss message for Seed to Table, a grocery store-restaurant-bar-entertainment venue in Naples, Florida.

When shoppers visit, it's hard not to miss the beautifully arranged fresh produce or the multitude of signs for tacos, sushi or "made from scratch" specials available at the gourmet produce store.

But in addition to its upscale grocery and community feel − recently, the owner hosted a Hurricane Milton pre-landfall party with food and drinks − Seed to Table has a reputation as a pro-Trump, Make America Great Again hub. Big American flags are on display across the market.

Protests about COVID-19 masks, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter have been held at Seed to Table. The store gained national attention during the Jan. 6 Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

And the muscle behind Seed to Table and Oakes Farms, owner Alfie Oakes of Naples, is as much a polarizing figure in Southwest Florida as his namesake business.

Here's what we know about Seed to Table, Oakes Farms and Alfie Oakes.

According to its site, "Seed to Table is a grocery store like you’ve never seen, featuring several restaurants, bars, live entertainment seven nights a week, and more. Located in Naples, Florida." The message online? "Welcome to the happiest place in the universe."

The 75,000-square-foot farmer’s market-inspired store in North Naples features fresh produce from Oakes Farms.

Seed to Table, 4835 Immokalee Road, Naples, also is home to Hops and Vines, the wine bar and the beer bar that runs from 6 to 10 p.m. Dinner specials from the kitchen range, with a recent offering like Braveheart filet mignon, grilled veal chop or Lumina lamb rack, served with homemade mac and cheese and roasted seasonal vegetables.

No wonder the feds raided the the owner's home. His business is too MAGA, too successful and too enjoyable for their liking.

This is a great shop in Seal Beach, CA. Lots of lefties coming by giving the owner sh*t but he gives it right back, with barrels. They have everything Trump related you would want. They also let several Trump caravans all over So Cal.

Would be cool if the chumps involved in the raids had the opportunity to rate their moral support for the jack-booted attacks.

One can be accused of owing taxes anytime.

In the tax world one is guilty until one proves oneself innocent.

The original lawfare.

He had military contracts to supply food, so they probably dug around until they could find some technicality or another to justify the raid.

Whether or not there is any meat to the case I don’t know yet.
