(Veteran Berries) Rural Recharge Podcast Ep. 31 - Pure Wholesome Elderberries

North Florida Elderberry Farm Teams Up with Veteran Berries

Jasper, FL (September 5, 2025) —  Chase and Amber Cannady of North Florida Elderberry Farm open up about their journey nurturing American elderberry—and shine a generous light on Veteran Berries as a trusted partner in the elderberry ecosystem.

Highlights from the Feature

Roots in Family & Research: The Cannadys started in 2018 with a small planting of elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) on their family farm in Jasper. Over time, their grove expanded to five acres through sustainable methods—zero pesticides or plastics, mulch cycles, and hand harvesting.

Local Advantage: Nearly 95% of elderberries in the U.S. are imported and dehydrated. In contrast, the Cannadys harvest, sanitize, and freeze their berries on the very same day—ensuring maximum freshness and potency.

Mission-Driven Farming: This is more than a farm—it’s a wellness mission, rooted in local stewardship and quality berries with measurable benefits.

Veteran Berries Gets a Shout-Out

In the video, the Cannadys give props to Veteran Berries for championing their American-grown elderberry and backing the mission to bring homegrown purity to the market. They recognize Veteran Berries as a brand that shares their commitment to integrity, quality, and supporting U.S. farmers.
