            Handcrafting a local berry into gourmet products

In This Podcast:

Greg speaks with Samara Price about a tiny berry with huge potential.  Like many people, Samara became interested in elderberries for their health benefits and she began making syrup.  But she has discovered there are so many other ways to use them!  They also make delicious and healthy beverages, baked goods, and even condiments.  Hear how her interest in this amazing food has grown into both a business and a passion.

Samara Price is the founder of Brew Naturals, a gourmet elderberry company based out of Western Northern Carolina. Brew Naturals is a farm to table product that focuses on real ingredients, delicious flavor and full body wellness.

She is passionate about saving this berry from obscurity by highlighting the culinary creativity it inspires!
