Beekeepers support East Tennessee families via Second Harvest collaboration.

At KSB Apiary in Claiborne County, Ken and Sally Baran dedicate their time to beekeeping, honey production, and vegetable cultivation. For the last three years, they have contributed some of their harvests to the Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee through its Harvesting Hope program, which supports families facing food insecurity. “We’ve been working with Second Harvest for about three years now,” Ken Baran noted, emphasizing the popularity of honey in food pantries.
