Our History

Spikenard Farm was born out of the realization that something had to be done for the honeybees and the Earth to make sure that the next generations will witness this marvelous insect , so important to our life and evolution on our beautiful planet. The work for over 30 years with bees, plants, children and adults, inspired by Rudolf Steiner's work, gave Gunther Hauk the necessary experience to understand and foresee the need of the honeybee worldwide. Out of this the vision of a Honeybee Sanctuary was born and shared with like-minded individuals, and in the summer of 2006 Gunther and his wife Vivian incorporated this initiative as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) educational and research organization with the name " The Spikenard Farm". Since then, many individuals and a number of foundations have helped to let this vision become a reality.
