Sugar Bottom Farm

Sugar Bottom Farm is a family-owned farm near Ovapa, West Virginia, founded in 2014 by Eric and Mary Grandon and their daughter, Abigail. What began with two beehives has grown into a full-service beekeeping operation producing honey, bees, beekeeping equipment, and farm products. Today, the farm is proudly operated by Mary and Abigail, who continue Eric's vision and dedication to beekeeping and West Virginia agriculture.

The farm first produced molasses before expanding into honey production, fresh produce, and eggs. By 2017, Sugar Bottom Farm had become a full-service honey bee operation, offering bees, equipment, supplies, and beekeeping training for new and experienced beekeepers.

Today, Sugar Bottom Farm produces a variety of honey, including West Virginia Honey, Georgia Tupelo Honey, and Hawaiian Honey, along with other hive products. The farm is recognized as WV Grown, Homegrown by Heroes, and a Pollinator Habitat Farm, reflecting its commitment to quality products and beekeeping. Through education, honey production, and support for beekeepers, Mary and Abigail continue building on the foundation Eric helped create while serving beekeepers and customers throughout West Virginia.
