A quarterly letter from the farm, and an open door for visits, wholesale, and questions about the elderberries.
The Field-Letter
Quarterly, free, published in irregular weather. Roughly one letter a season, sometimes a small note between. No advertising, ever.
Write to the Farm
Wholesale inquiries, farm visits by appointment, questions about the plants — all welcome. We answer every note, slowly but eventually.
Received
Your letter is on its way to the farm. We read every note — and answer every one, eventually. Until then, the door is open.
