BASTROP — A Bastrop- based beekeeping business rooted in sustainable agriculture and community outreach has been awarded a national grant to support its growth.
Lantana Farms, which operates locally as Local Honey Bee Company, was selected to receive a $4,000 grant from the National Association for the Self-Employed earlier this month. Owner Jeff Kreider, a retired U.S. Army veteran with more than 20 years of service, said the funds will help upgrade business equipment and support the farm’s commitment to long-term sustainability.
“America’s small business and self-employed community is the lifeblood of our economy, helping fuel growth along Main Street in small and large communities throughout the country,” said John Hearrell, NASE vice president.
