Our Story
Before Elderberry Boost, I was a teacher … a role I loved because it let me connect with families, build relationships, and watch people grow. When I became a mom, my focus shifted to caring for my own little ones and creating a healthy, happy home. It has always been important to me to be intentional about what we ate, what we put in our bodies, and how we supported our health in the most natural way possible.
I started searching for the “perfect” elderberry syrup. What I found on store shelves didn’t meet my standards as most had added sugars, preservatives, minimal actual elderberry, and were often twice the price of what felt fair. I realized that if I wanted something truly pure, potent, and affordable, I’d have to make it myself.
I began experimenting in my home kitchen with carefully sourced elderberries, seasonal raw honey from local beekeepers, and a blend of supportive herbs. I poured my heart into those first batches ..making sure every jar was something I’d confidently give to my kids, my husband, and my 90-year-old grandfather.
At first, it was just for us. Then friends and family asked for jars. Then friends of friends. Before long, my kitchen counters were filled with drying jars, big stockpots simmering, and a dining room table covered in labels. I’d be making syrup while the my son was at school and staying up late after he went to bed to package orders.
As word spread, the demand outgrew my kitchen. It was both exciting and a little overwhelming. That’s when we made the leap to a commercial kitchen… a huge step that allowed us to keep the same small-batch, hands-on process, but at a scale where we could share Elderberry Boost with families across the country.
What started with one product (our signature elderberry syrup) has now grown into a whole line of everyday wellness products. From teas, honeys to gummies, and more, each item is made with the same care, ingredient quality, and attention to detail as those first jars I made at home.
Today, Elderberry Boost has reached thousands of customers in all 50 states. Every product still begins the same way: with high-quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and the same standard I’d want for my own family.
We don’t take it lightly that you trust us with your family’s wellness. That trust is why we do what we do …creating simple, natural products that help make everyday wellness easy, enjoyable, and part of your family’s routine.
Elderberry Boost isn’t just a business to me, it’s a piece of my family’s story. And it’s an honor to know it’s now part of so many other family stories, too.
With love,
Vanessa
