About
Carmel Berry Company, a certified woman-owned business, makes fresh pressed elderberry goods from 100% American-grown elderberry and elderflowers sourced directly from our network of organic farmers. The berries are never dried, never imported, never diluted resulting in healthy, delicious goods handcrafted here in California. We endeavor to be the best possible stewards of our environment while bringing the health benefits of this superfood to our community and customers.* Grants and education for new elderberry growers are part of our mission.
Founder's Story
It was when her young children were bringing home all kinds of germs that Katie first learned about the health benefits of elderberries.* At the time, elderberry products were only at the health food store, only imported from Europe, and all had thickeners or preservatives on the ingredient list. That’s when she discovered that elderberries grow wild all around Carmel Valley where she lives and that they are native to North America! So she started harvesting the berries from native trees and began making her own elderberry syrup using freshly pressed berries. Today, Carmel Berry Co. partners with small organic farms to grow American elderberries and elderflowers for our bright, clean and delicious products for everyday enjoyment and immune support.* We endeavor to be the best possible stewards of our environment while bringing the health benefits of this superfood to our community and customers.* Grants and education for new elderberry growers are part of our mission.
