Follow Me To - Mama Bears Elderberries in St. Leonard
We are THRILLED to launch the second season of our “Follow Me To…” mini-video series to celebrate the Buy Local Challenge all month long. First up, we'd like to introduce you to Mama Bears Elderberries in St. Leonard and Honey's Harvest Farm in Lothian.
Mama Bears produces their delicious Elderberry Gold syrup with aronia berries from Honey's Harvest, a win-win for both businesses!
"I started making elderberry syrup the winter of 2018. We were about to have a newborn and my son was 2 and I needed something to help protect us from al the winter germs. So I made batch after batch, perfecting this and that. And at the same time, kept the ingredients simple - only organic elderberries and raw local wildflower honey. No herbs, spices, or additives like cane sugar.
From there, the goodness grew. After months working through the process to become licensed and certified through the State of Maryland, we became official in November 2019."
Learn more about their farms and products on their Facebook and Instagram pages, plus websites.
Take the pledge now at www.buylocalchallenge.com and enjoy some delicious elderberry syrup during Buy Local Week, July 17th through the 25th, 2021!
