ELDERBERRIES!! Year 3 and it's the largest harvest so far! Almost to 5lbs already! (That's my 5th large bowl) Got some elderberry sugar infusing then going to work on a syrup and tincture. With my leftovers I'm deciding between a wine or mead!? Has anyone made either before? Suggestions?

I finally did it!!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and today I'm excited to launch the Stardust Homestead Journal! 💚

Quit killing the pollinators! 🪰🐝🦟

Did you know flies are the second most important pollinator after bees and that native bees are more effective at moving pollen from native flowers than honey bees, making them crucial for local ecosystems.

Did you know there isn't a honey bee species that's native to North America?

Have you ever wonder why you can buy fly and carpenter bee traps and killers everywhere, even the dollar store now?
