BAKER — A new business aims to make life easier for North Okaloosa County residents.
“The rural lifestyle is a choice, and we are here to support that choice, as we live it ourselves,” Baker Feed and Country Store owner Tony Happel said. “We saw a need for a wide range of quality products, from apparel to gifts and feed to seed, in the Baker area.”
Baker area residents may have visited a chain retailer or ordered online to get Wrangler jeans, Justin boots, American-made horse tack or specialty feeds, the store’s management said.
Now, they have an option close to home.
“We have sourced our products to be competitive with the large-box stores, yet we offer the small-town service our customers expect,” said Jennifer Augustine, the store's manager.
Looking for a unique, locally made gift? They have those, too. Rocking chairs, carpenter bee traps and jewelry are just some of the handmade items you’ll find on the shelves.
With a combined 35 years’ experience in farming and agribusiness, Happel and Augustine can answer questions related to animal nutrition, pasture maintenance and lawn care.
