FUND SPOTLIGHT The Spikenard Farm Inc. Fund Created in 2023 by board member Andy Huggins and his wife, Bonnie, the fund provides annual support to Spikenard Farm, a consciously cultivated honeybee sanctuary founded in 2008 that promotes sustainable and biodynamic beekeeping to help restore the health and vitality of the honeybee worldwide. The farm hosts numerous programs on its 41-acre property in Floyd County, including in-person and online courses, school group tours and lectures, and apprenticeships. In 2023, Spikenard was the recipient of the CFNRV’s 10th Annual GiveLocalNRV Giving Day grand prize, an episode of Buzz4Good, a Blue Ridge PBS program. The show links NRV and Roanoke-based nonprofits with marketing professionals to create more buzz for their work. In the episode, Spikenard Farm and marketing firm 5Points Creative developed new strategies to market the farm and its products.
