Ever wonder why we cut our elderberry plants right down to the ground each year? ✂️🌱

This practice is called coppicing and it’s an important part of growing organic elderberries for commercial production.

Once the plants are well established (about 2 years), we begin coppicing them during dormancy. By cutting the plants back, we encourage them to send up strong new primocanes in the spring. These fresh shoots grow fast — often reaching 6–12 feet in one season — and they produce larger fruit cymes (berry clusters).

While elderberries can produce fruit on both first-year stocks and older wood, many commercial growers prefer harvesting from primocanes because the clusters tend to be bigger and more productive. Synchronous ripening is also a benefit when it comes time for harvest.

Coppicing also helps with organic orchard management. By reducing overwintering pests and mitigating disease/plant viruses — it allow us grow clean, healthy fruit without relying on chemicals.

You’ll also notice the row cover in our orchard. Young elderberries don’t like competing with weeds, so the cover helps suppress them while the plants get established. Soon the row cover will come up and be replaced with compost from our own farm animals and a layer of mulch. This organic practice feeds the soil, builds fertility, and helps retain moisture — all without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Whether you have one elderberry bush or thousands, pruning can be an important step in maintaining the health and productivity of your plants.

Right now it might look a little drastic… but by summer these rows will be full of tall green canes and beautiful elderberry blossoms. 🌸

Elderberry has been used for thousands of years — with references dating back to around 400-300 BC in writings attributed to Hippocrates.

Naturally rich in antioxidants and long appreciated in traditional wellness practices, elderberry continues to be a staple in many people’s daily routines.

But not all elderberry syrup is made the same.

Many syrups start with simmered berries and added water to create a concentrate.
Ours doesn’t.

We make our syrup using pure pressed elderberry juice — no added water, no concentrate, no extract. Just the berry itself, carefully crafted from berry to bottle.

“Wisdom of the elder. Strength of the berry.”

When you’re growing a calf AND overseeing elderberry production 😂🐄 Donna approves.

One month until her baby arrives.
Did you know cows are pregnant for 9 months!? Same length as a human gestation.
