Stow Creek Honey - Farmerville, LA

Stow Creek Honey was founded in 2015 amidst the idyllic, verdant fields of Union Parish in Northern Louisiana. Beekeeping in rural farming towns offers a wide range of benefits to the local community, as bees are essential for pollinating crops, leading to higher yields and improved crop quality. By supporting local beekeepers, we are also bolstering the production of locally grown food, which has a range of positive effects for the entire community, including employment opportunities and increased food security in the event of supply chain disruptions.

There’s just something SWEET about local honey!

 

Sav’s Salsa - Shreveport, LA

Sav's Salsa started in Colorado in 2011 with the goal of making the perfect salsa for a morning egg dish.

After moving back to Louisiana in 2014, Sav's Salsa was established as a business and grew from farmer's markets to a successful line of four flavors. Through it all, the focus remained on perfecting the taste, not competing with other brands.
