Did you know Louisiana is home to its first and only elderberry farm?

At Cockeyed Farms in Folsom, American elderberries are grown, harvested, and bottled right here on a Veteran-owned family farm.

Even more impressive — only 2% of elderberry products consumed in the U.S. are actually grown here. These are.

Now available at Backyard Birds & Gardens:
🍇 American Elderberry Juice
🍯 Elderberry Juice + Honey
🍯 American Elderberry Creamed Honey
🫐 Blueberry Creamed Honey
