In modern times, Elderberry is scientifically proven to strengthen the immune system, shorten the duration of illness and ease symptoms of cold and flu.

However, our ancestors were calling on elderberry LONG before they had any science to understand why and how it helped.

Elder has long been one of the most respected plants on the planet. It’s folklore runs deep in our ancestral blood. Such a revered and respected plant, many cultures believed that harvesting this plant without asking it properly and humbly for permission could carry perilous consequences.

Fear not, our homestead grown elder is always harvested with the upmost care and respect.

I always seeks the plant’s permission and NEVER harvest more than 1/3 of it’s precious berries or flowers. Making sure that I’m never putting my own personal needs above nature’s.

Migratory birds depend on elderberry to nourish them through winter, when food is scarce. Elder depends on the birds to spread it’s seeds far and wide, ensuring the survival of WILD elder.

You can easily spend $20 or more on a single bottle of elderberry syrup - or for the same price make 1/2 gallon of syrup with our 4 oz package
