Sugar Bottom Farm

Sugar Bottom Farm started in 2014 by the Grandon family with two bee hives and first-generation farmers. After Eric's 20 year career with the U.S. Army, the Grandon family needed a way to combat stressors associated with his six war deployments. They started producing molasses as part of the Veterans and Warrior to Agriculture program, which then they added honey bees to diversify their products. Since the beginning, Eric has become a certified beekeeping instructor, was voted Conservation Farm of the Year, and even sells honey bees and equipment. They also provide hands on training with their Free Education in Basic Beekeeping.
