​​Heartland Elderberry Farms – Pure. Potent. Purposeful.
At Heartland Elderberry Farms, we are passionate about creating the highest-quality elderberry syrup available today. Founded by husband-and-wife team Russell and Jessica Carter, our journey began with a simple but powerful realization: most elderberry syrups on the market were diluted, overly processed, and lacking in potency. We believed there had to be a better way — so we built it ourselves.
Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, our farm cultivates six unique varieties of American elderberries, grown with care and purpose. From our fields to your bottle, every step of the process is rooted in quality, integrity, and a deep respect for nature’s remedies.
What Makes Our Elderberry Syrup Different?
While many products list water as their main ingredient, our elderberry syrup is proudly water-free. At Heartland Elderberry Farms, we never dilute our syrup with water — ever. Instead, we craft our syrup from just five potent ingredients:
-
100% Pure Elderberry Juice (never from concentrate)
-
Raw Honey from our very own 400+ hives
-
Fresh Ginger Juice
-
Ceylon Cinnamon
-
Star Anise
The result? A rich, full-bodied elderberry syrup that’s as pure as it is powerful — packed with antioxidants, flavor, and farm-grown integrity.
From Our Family to Yours
Our mission began with our own dissatisfaction. We couldn't find an elderberry syrup that met our standards — so we created one that did. With backgrounds in farming, beekeeping, and natural wellness, we combined our knowledge and resources to launch a farm-to-bottle operation unlike any other.
We also run a commercial beekeeping operation, managing over 400 hives, which supply the raw honey used in every batch of our syrup. This not only guarantees quality and traceability, but allows us to maintain a fully integrated, sustainable approach — from pollination to production.
