Nowadays, most bakeries focus solely on sweet treats; then there are those like Ole Country Bakery in Brooksville. The old-fashioned bake shop offers everything from homemade bread to deli sandwiches - all of which are made with only the freshest ingredients. In business for decades, Ole Country Bakery is now a Mississippi landmark and definitely worth a visit. Take a look:
Located in the small town of Brooksville, Ole Country Bakery is known for its mouthwatering variety of cakes, pies, doughnuts, and breads.
Almost immediately after opening its doors in 1981, the bakery became a popular treat and lunch stop for locals as well as for those travelling on nearby Highway 45.
Still a favorite stop for both locals and tourists, it’s not uncommon for visitors to refer to the baked goods as the "best" they’ve ever tasted.
At the "true old-fashioned bakery," the pastries and breads are all handmade using Mennonite techniques and secret recipes that have been passed down for decades.
Another part of what makes the baked goods so tasty is the fact that they’re made using farm fresh ingredients.
The dough is made daily at the crack of dawn, ensuring everything is always fresh (and unbelievably delicious).
Browse the display case and you’ll find a variety of delectable desserts, from cookies to doughnuts.
The shelves are brimming with sweet treats, including plenty of tasty pies in a variety of flavors. Choose between apple, sugar-free apple, blackberry, blueberry, cherry, peach, pecan, or rhubarb.
The homemade bread is one of the bakery’s top sellers. The options include everything from standards, like wheat and French, to sweet breads, such as banana nut.
Can’t make a decision? Go with the most popular bread – Amish Friendship.
Aside from baked goods, the merchandise includes a selection of cookbooks and locally produced honey, so be sure to look around.
The bakery also includes a deli that serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Saturday.
Visit during breakfast and, aside from the normal selection of pastries, you can fill up on hot dishes, such as homemade biscuits and gravy.
Featuring deli sandwiches, homemade soups, and fresh salads, the lunch menu is just as appetizing.
There’s even a designated coffee station, where you can indulge on fresh-brewed coffee.
Take your goods to-go or enjoy them on the bakery’s front porch, which includes picnic tables and rocking chairs.
