Just restocked! Elderberry Wellness Boost Syrup and Elderflower Simple Syrup.

Made by and processed on the farm in Sperry, IA, just one tsp contains 2000 mg of elderberry and 2000 mg of aronia.

Elderberry is a berry that comes from the black elder tree, which can be found in Europe, North America, and Asia. In folk medicine, the dried berries or juice are used to treat influenza, infections, sciatica, headaches, dental pain, heart pain, and nerve pain, as well as a laxative and diuretic.

The Elderberry Wellness Boost Syrup is paired with elderberry and aronia, two of nature’s most antioxidant-rich fruits, to create a powerful source of polyphenols and anthocyanins, shown by studies to boost immunity.

This syrup can be taken by the spoonful or can be added to any dish or drink including pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, tea, adult beverages, and more!
