At Twilight Grove, we grow American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), a native Missouri plant known for its rich color, bold flavor, and natural wellness benefits. For generations, the American elderberry has been valued across North America as a nourishing fruit that supports health and vitality.

Unlike imported European varieties, the American elderberry is naturally lower in cyanogenic compounds. That means it can be safely enjoyed without boiling - just clean, antioxidant-rich fruit you can trust. This distinction makes our elderberries a safe, authentic, and uniquely American crop.

Our farm is committed to sustainability and biodiversity. By planting American elderberries on our land, we support pollinators, enrich the soil, and create thriving habitats for local wildlife. Every step we take - whether tending young plants, maintaining healthy rows, or planning harvests - is rooted in care for the land and respect for nature.

American Elderberry Products - Coming 2027

Our first American elderberry harvest is planned for 2027, and we are already working on ways to share the harvest with you. Beyond the berries themselves, the fragrant elderflowers will inspire future products ranging from refreshing juices to freeze-dried and frozen offerings that preserve the plant’s nutrients and flavor. By keeping processing minimal, we aim to provide American elderberry products that are as close to nature as possible.

Whether you’re drawn to the fruit’s bold taste, its health benefits, or the sustainability of supporting native perennial crops, the American elderberry offers something truly special. Twilight Grove is proud to nurture this plant and share it with our community in the years to come.
