About BottomBee Farms: Veteran-Owned Geospatial Reporting

BottomBee Farms is a veteran-owned geospatial services firm. We make plain, decision-grade reports on water and land for working oyster growers, farmers, landowners, and the agencies that serve them, with clients across the United States, Canada, and Europe. We find what changed and hand it to you in a form you can act on without a specialist's help to translate it.

Why a geospatial company grew out of an oyster farm

BottomBee Farms did not start as a software company. It started with a submerged-land lease near St. Augustine and a practical problem: understanding a coastal site, its depth, its water quality, the habitat on its bottom, without paying for a full boat survey every time a question came up. 

The tools we built to address that problem proved useful far beyond a single oyster lease. The same satellite imagery that maps a shellfish site maps a row-crop field, a timber tract, or a stretch of coast before and after a storm. What began as in-house tooling evolved into five products: BottomBee for coastal and aquaculture work; Crop & Land Vegetation Analysis for land and vegetation; and the Construction & Land Change Detection and Storm & Flood Radar Change Detection reports, and all-weather radar monitoring, which show what changed over time. 

The thread through all of it is simple. These reports are made by someone who tends water and land, for other people who tend water and land. We know what it is like to need a real answer, need it to hold up, and not have a survey-sized budget to get it. That is the gap BottomBee Farms exists to fill, and helping a fellow grower or landowner get that answer is the part of this work we like best.
