1
Bradley's Country Store
10655 Centerville Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32309-7438
Since 1927, Bradley's has made the best, old fashioned, country smoked and fresh sausage that money can buy. Using a secret family recipe, our sausage is made weekly and does not contain gluten, sugar, artificial ingredients or preservatives. It is also compliant with a variety of diet programs, such as Whole 30, Keto and Paleo! Sausage isn't all we have to offer! Take a drive out into the country on the beautiful canopy roads where you'll feel as if time has slowed down. Spend hours out on the picnic tables listening to birds sing and the wind blow through the canopy of Oak Trees and Spanish moss. Some may even get the chance to witness how we make our grits the old fashioned way, using an old Ford tractor and a Grist Mill dating back to the early 1930's. Join us for lunch where you can sit in a rocking chair on the front porch and savor a Bradley's sausage dog, RC Cola and a Moon Pie!
