My husband and I live with a guiding philosophy that we are born healthy and it’s up to us to maintain it. While we strive to live in a toxin-free and organic world, we also realize that baby steps form strong and lasting habits! We live by the 80/20 rule: 80 percent healthy choices, 20 percent give a little. One of the baby steps was adding elderberry syrup to our family’s medicine chest. I began making elderberry syrup to keep my family healthy after researching the many benefits of elderberries. One day, I had a few extra jars and I posted them for friends and family on social media, ending up with a flood of interest! What started out as a way to keep my own family healthy turned into a desire to help our entire community with the health of theirs. Spoonful of Elderberry started in our home and has been a family effort. It helps teach our girls to serve others out of love with something you love to do through hard work, responsibility, and helpfulness. 

 

Spoonful of Elderberry has some BIG goals for 2023-2024. The past few years were tough as a natural health small business owner in a post Covid world. I personally went through a phase where I wasn't sure I wanted to continue with my business. Leading a homeschool co-op, helping in our family Chiropractic office and just the overwhelming demand of life with four littles I felt maybe it was time to sell.  Not feeling totally at peace with selling my business I began praying for God to move in my heart and show me a way back to the original passion and desire to serve that I felt when I started this business. And God did just that! My passion is back and I am rebuilding. We are starting in a new commercial kitchen space, working on new retail locations and expanding our community imprint on blessing others through local charities and community events. My goal is to continue to grow our small business and help more families find a more natural way to stay healthy. It's true, the saying "it takes a village," because it really does. This is where you come in, my customers, my village. It is my promise to always provide you with the absolute best syrup using only the best organic ingredients and made with the most love and intention as possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I adore doing this. I adore this life of servitude and adore my clients as if they were family. Thank you for the inspiration to create this little business of mine. For the courage to keep growing and for the support from our community. I thank God everyday for the blessings that he has bestowed on my family and have promised him that I would help grow his kingdom through those blessings. I hope that you feel the love that goes into every bottle of elderberry syrup that we make and the encouragement I share to keep your family as healthy as can be with just a Spoonful of Elderberry!
