120 | The Benefits of Elderberry Syrup with Russell Carter

Russell Carter, the founder of Heartland Elderberry Farms, shares the benefits of elderberry syrup and the dirty secrets of the industry.

Russell and his wife built Heartland from the ground up as a direct challenge to the billion-dollar industry—offering a pure, five-ingredient elderberry syrup with no added water or fillers, where 80% of every bottle is cold-pressed elderberry juice from their own Midwest farm, plus raw honey from their beehives.
