Elderberry: Forgotten Fruit Makes a Comeback
In our second chat with Kentucky farmer and author John Moody, we talk about elderberry.
Moody is the author of The Elderberry Book, in which he explores not only the cultivation and use of elderberry, but also it’s rich history.
Moody talks about how, on a small farm such as theirs, 30 bottles of specialty elderberry syrup brings in roughly the same amount as what a conventional farmer might get from an acre of corn.
Want sneak peaks? Some neat recipes? I'm collaborating with Chef Signe Langford on a delicious book: Olives, Lemons & Figs. Find out how to use olives, lemons, and figs from fruit to root to shoot, including fig-wood smoked fare, fizzy lemon-leaf apéritifs, and lots more. Click here so you don't miss our updates.
