It’s Elderberry Season at Pure Pastures

Pure Pastures has elderberries grown locally and frozen on the stem straight from the tree on an idyllic micro farm by a young family. No preorder is necessary; just shop at 23309 Ford Road, in Dearborn, or 1192 Ann Arbor Road, in Plymouth, while supplies last.

            Elderberries are high in vitamin C (52.2 milligrams per cup) and dietary fiber (10.2 grams per cup). Just as uses for elderberry are broad, the forms it comes in are many, including syrups, gummies, lozenges, pills and teas.

            Pure Pastures is an organic meat and grocery store specializing in Michigan pasture-raised, grass-fed meat. They carry a full line of organic groceries, eggs, dairy, honey and more. Organic produce includes beets, dates, mushrooms, lettuce, broccoli, green beans, peppers, cauliflower and spinach.

For more information, call Plymouth at 734-927-695; Dearborn (elderberry reservations) 313-406-6282, email [email protected] or visit PurePasturesMI.com.
