Who we are
Welcome to our family farm! We are a family-owned and operated business located in the heart of North Florida, Our farm is dedicated to producing the highest quality elderberries using sustainable farming practices.
Our story began when we discovered the incredible health benefits of elderberries. We wanted to share this powerful superfood with our community and decided to start growing our own. After years of perfecting our techniques, we are now proud to offer elderberry plants and products.
At our farm, we believe in the importance of sustainable agriculture. That's why we use only sustainable methods to grow our elderberries. We never use synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Instead, we rely on natural methods such as composting and companion planting to ensure a healthy and vibrant ecosystem.
All of our elderberry products are made with the utmost care and attention to detail. We handpick our berries and use traditional methods to extract the juice, which is then used to create a variety of delicious and healthy products. We are committed to providing our customers with the very best.
