Thanks so much for your video!! Greetings from manchester. I'm literally sitting beside the elderberry tree in the park next to my house, watching your video. Nicely explained🌿🙂

[@saunch09]

Thank you SO much for this video! Just about to harvest my very first year of berries here in our Durham, NC home garden!

[@jameswatters9592]

thanks so much for a real labour saver

[@yourmom-vo6ij]

i feel like im the only one here from "elderberries:O?"

[@Mavish11]

I just came from that lol

[@tumblweed2669]

I came too

[@mr.bubbles9958]

Nope you’re not

[@sahelamiri2191]

My gosh I came straight from there

(gasp) Elderberries?

[@sahelamiri2191]

OMG SAME

[@ImHandlingIt]

My problem when doing it this way is the micro stems that are still attached to the berry. If I removed each one manually, my berries start defrosting and get mushy. Any tips for dealing with pesky miscrostems?

[@bertaandrew9889]

Thank You! Very helpful.

[@XavierIsraelMatamoros]

Thanks for the demo on elderberries! Do you ever sell your frozen berries at farmers market or online? Do you sell any of your elderberry value-added products?

[@KLBServices]

Good but a darn shame the most important part of the video was blurry and hard to see!!

[@mikeseay8509]

Thank you for the video. If I don't have enough to make anything yet, how should I store the berries I've removed from the stems? I have a dehydrator, but I've never used it yet.

[@corax2012]

If they are ripe it's easy to roll them off without a complicated process.

[@deadmeat146]

I wish someone made a Monty Python joke

[@ariseshine3685]

I’ve heard to not eat them or no more than a few and I’ve heard you can’t eat the seeds.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Can you use the half to 3/4's ripened fruit?

[@normsfarms2766]

No. Only the darkest purple or black berries should be used. Avoid red and especially the green ones. They will ruin what ever you make.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Thanks so much for your reply.

[@yourmom-vo6ij]

@@DixieGirl9876 hi

[@bobinmissouri]

at your farm in Missouri do you buy wild elderberries?

[@SavageJarJar]

Elderberries?

[@sahelamiri2191]

SAME LMFAO

[@saundrabrookes8042]

Is it true that I shouldn't harvest the berries from first-year plants?

[@normsfarms2766]

Best to pinch flowers off so they don't produce berries in the first place, The flowers are quite useful. normsfarms.com/blogs/growing-and-harvesting-elderberry/harvesting-elderflowers Here a re a few recipes. normsfarms.com/search?type=article&q=elderflowers
