In spring 2024, Sweet Harvest Foods sponsored an art grant to benefit the art department at Cannon Falls High School.
“National Honey Month is an exciting time for Nate’s, and we want to make this season sweet beyond the honey we bottle,” said Nathan Sheets, founder and president of Nate’s. “We are grateful to be a part of the Sweet Harvest Foods family and a donation that will make a difference to children and families in our local community.”
