Today, Veteran Berries was honored to support Wreaths Across America at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Newton, MS. 🇺🇸

It’s always moving to see such a large turnout of families, veterans, and volunteers coming together to remember those who served.

We brought our granddaughter with us so she could help lay wreaths and learn the importance of honoring our heroes—because remembrance is a legacy we must pass on.

This day was especially personal as we paid our respects at the resting place of my Uncle, Maj. John Slay (USARNG Ret.). And in a moment I don’t believe was a coincidence, we also came across the grave of PVT Danny G. Hamrick (USMC)—someone we did not know, but were deeply thankful to honor by laying a wreath for a fellow Hamrick.

Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation why it matters.

If you’ve not experienced a Wreaths Across America Ceremony I enourage you to do it next year. Drive through the memorial park and see how beautiful the wreaths are on the headstones.

From our family to all who served—thank you. 🇺🇸

🧰🌿 Hippocrates called the elder tree his “medicine chest.”

The ancient Greek physician—often called the Father of Medicine—recognized the power of the elder tree (Sambucus nigra) centuries ago.

We just brought that idea to life.

From elderflowers to elderberries, our modern-day medicine chest is rooted in tradition, crafted with purpose, and built for wellness.

👉 And let’s be honest…
I bet Hippocrates’ medicine chest didn’t look this good!

Boost your wellness from our medicine chest, just in time for Christmas! Makes great stocking stuffers.

Dec 2, 2025 Orchard Update: In the last two weeks we’ve had 3 nights of below freezing temps. Between the frigid temps, morning frost, and increased deer browsing (see where leaves start and stop) the “Hamilton” American Elderberry still has green leaves and almost every bush has a couple blooms still showing.

A very resilient native indeterminate perennial thats fighting to stay productive. And these are only 22 months old.

Once it goes dormant in January we cut it to the ground to harvest cuttings and make bare root plants. By March it will start producing new canes and the cycle starts all over again.

Deer love browsing the Hamilton American Elderberry, a native perennial with mite resistance and green foliage and blooms lasting into December (Zone 8b). Add this bushy perennial around your green fields in February and attract deer by opening day!
