Spring Elderberry

This is the time we begin scouting out local areas for elderberry harvesting. Although we have begun to grow elder on The Herbal Sage Farms, we still harvest from the wild for most of our elderberry.
The rich white showy flowers scattered generously on the umbels of each elderberry bush guide us to our future harvesting sites.One of the most fun parts is finding the places where elderberry grow undisturbed by car,electrical sources and other impediments.
We are feeling blessed this year, with our rain, and our continued quest for the best crops, we have found what may be this years Mother load! We will keep you posted and let you know as time moves along. Much can change, nature can wipe out a whole area, but we are hopeful, as most herbalist are, that Mother Nature will provide!
