🖊I'll update post when sold out

🌟Ever wonder why it's rare to find blue elderberry plants sold at nurseries? It's not because they are hardy, beautiful and ecologically vital plants for dry climates that support life. No... Blue elderberry is difficult to propagate. Growing by cuttings can have extremely low rooting success and seed-grown doesn't guarantee the parent plants good qualities so you don't always get a great bush.

Our plants are extra special: grown from seed collected (Shuswap, Okanagan, Kootenays) we selected THE most abundant specimen then cloned and grew it out this winter. See last picture

If you're too far away to drive to our farm and want to grow black elderberry, good news we do ship to Canada/USA. Stay tuned for black elderberry cuttings pre-sale starting in November. Choose from 25+ varieties and shipping begins in February through April

Grow elderberry and be happy 😊 Louise, Jed and the Elderberries

It's elderflower season! We are grateful to pick, de-stem and dry. And some are going fresh to become delicious cordial and liqueur. The rest of the flowers will stay to turn into berries. Thank you for all the help this morning Zea and Jake!

This evening I'm planning to make some elderflower fritters for a garden party. It's been a few years since i've gotten around to making fritters. Got a fav recipe? I usually just make a crepe batter

Now's the time to harvest elderberry cuttings and plant directly in the ground or start each in their own pot. Frost is fine!

Elderberry loves fertile, well-drained soil that's consistently moist. Perfers full sun, or partial shade.

Starts to produce as early as 16 months later.

What a giving plant!
Share cuttings with your friends, grow elderberry and be happy :)
Simple right?

I hope your winter turning to spring brings health and growth

It's that wonderful time of year where elderberry cuttings are available at the honor system box at the farm.

I've made up some bags of 6 cuttings for $43, mixed varieties.

Example bag is 3 x Ranch + 3x Kent or 3x Haschburg + 3x Haidegg 17.

All the varieties are good to grow here in Salmon Arm and area. If you planting somewhere with shorter growing season like Alberta, consider getting just the varieties from species Sambucus canadensis. Species name is on the plant tag :)

How it works : stop on by, get cuttings. It's self serve style so leave $ in jar - we trust you!

Happy spring planting!

Elderberry Soup - have you tried it?

Over the years of going to markets with our elderberry juice and syrups, we'd heard from folks from Germany or Denmark on how they remember grandma serving the kids delicious elderberry soup. We've been curious to try this soup so i'm finally making it!

The base is simmered apples, fresh-frozen elderberries, water, cinnamon, cloves, lemon

After simmering the fruit will be strained, sugar added and the liquid thickened slightly with something like cornstarch

Lastly, i'll plop some dumplings or ovals into the soup to quick cook

Some say to add whip cream - yum!

If you didn't get a chance to pack some elderberries into your freezer this fall and you're looking for some, we have two sizes: 11lbs ($15/lb) and 22lbs ($14/lb) available for shipping in BC & AB
