Welcome Back!
TYFYS “Thank You For Your Service” beautifully blends flavors of blueberry, raspberry, marshmallow and vanilla into one rich and bubbly mead. Hands down our most popular mead and most looked forward to re-release.

Heroes to Hives is our newer signature still mead that is gorgeously golden in color, and smooth and sweet down the hatchet.

Both are back and ready to enjoy!

*proceeds from purchases of either of these meads go towards organizations that help provide resources and education for our Veterans*

New research published (Oct 14, 2025) on elderberry (Sambucus nigra) used in a blend with chokeberry, blackcurrant, and evening primrose to reduce/restore cell damage from ionizing radiation (IR) in cancer patients and workers exposed to IR. The company providing the blend is going through the patent process. Human trials may be coming next.

"Radiation is widely used in cancer therapy but also damages healthy tissues through oxidative stress or inflammation. In addition to cancer patients, many professionals are occupationally exposed to ionizing radiation (IR). Natural compounds, particularly polyphenols, have been increasingly investigated as potential radioprotective agents to minimize side effects in both patients and occupationally exposed individuals. This study evaluated the radioprotective effects of a polyphenol-rich extract blend derived from chokeberry, elderberry, blackcurrant, and evening primrose in female Balb/c mice exposed to acute IR."

🇺🇸 Veteran Berries Field Notes – November 9th 🌿

Our American Elderberry variety ‘Hamilton’ is showing some interesting late-season behavior! While most of our other varieties — like Pocahontas — have already dropped their leaves and gone dormant, Hamilton is still holding foliage and even producing new blooms here in early November.

Deer have taken notice too and started browsing the tender new growth. With temps dropping to 30°F tonight and 27°F tomorrow, we’ll soon see how these late blooms and leaves handle the first real freeze of the season.

Also pictured: our peach tree showing its typical late-fall leaf color. 🍑

Observations like these help us better understand how each elderberry variety responds to seasonal shifts — valuable knowledge for growers everywhere. 🌱

Still blooming strong in mid-October! 🌿

Our Hamilton American Elderberry cultivar continues to push out fresh flowers and lush green leaves while other varieties have already called it a season. This has become our favorite for flower harvesting.

This vigorous variety shows excellent resistance to eriophyid mites, attracts pollinators, and even serves as a favorite browse for deer with its tender foliage. It makes a good native plant for your favorite hunter’s deer plots!

We love seeing the resilience of this plant — another reason Hamilton stands out in our elderberry lineup! 💜
