Federal Agents Raid Alfie Oakes’ Home and Oakes Farms Packing Plant

Federal agents conducted a significant raid on the home and business premises of Francis Alfred “Alfie” Oakes III, the owner of Oakes Farms, on November 11, 2024. The raid involved law enforcement presence at both Alfie Oakes‘ North Naples home and the Oakes Farms packing house in Immokalee.

The reasons behind the raid are not yet fully disclosed, but it is speculated that it may be related to a recent $238 million contract Oakes Farms secured with the Department of Defense. This substantial contract has raised questions and potentially triggered the federal investigation.

Alfie Oakes, known for his prominent role in the grocery industry, has been under scrutiny in the past, and this latest development adds to the ongoing scrutiny of his business dealings. The raid is part of an ongoing investigation, and details are expected to emerge as more information becomes available.
