Elderberry Syrup at Alpaca Farm

Join Haley, owner of Herbal Meadows Botanicals and learn how and why you should make Elderberry Syrup. We will discuss native herbs and plants you can add to your syrup to increase its medicinal properties. We will also talk about the best places to forage, propagation of the Elderberry plant and where to purchase materials. While our syrup is simmering; participants will create their own Elderberry Syrup mocktails. This provides a great way for participants to learn how to use their syrup at home. Take home with you the recipe, knowledge and confidence to craft your own syrup at home. Each participant will bottle and take home their own 8 ounce amber round glass bottle of Elderberry Syrup. We are invited to CanDo Acres in Paw Paw Michigan for this special farm workshop. Our hosts at CanDo Acres will be providing attendees with a farm tour of their Alpaca Farm accompanied with refreshments. They also have an alpaca-themed gift shop with socks, sweaters, dryer balls and more!
