Amanda Sweeney is the Founder & Keeper of the Bees @Edgewood Apiaries. She loves honey and her greatest enjoyment (aside from motherhood) is hands on work with the bees. With over twenty years of experience in supply chain, technology and marketing at companies like Nike and Petco Animal Supplies, she realized she could help improve how Virginia does honey by focusing on what the market increasingly demands: honest, traceable honey that connects consumers directly with local beekeepers. She desires to ensure U.S. beekeepers are paid fairly and is working to provide an increased supply of top-quality honey for consumers alongside a growing product assortment which demonstrates the power & versatility of hive-based products.
