Meet elderberry farmer Tom Aldiere. He stopped by our office because he has a bumper crop of elderberries and heard we had a kitchen he could use. Within hours, he met with our kitchen manager Jamie to learn about freezing and packaging his berries.

Then he met with Chelsea from Root Cellar on a distribution deal. Interested in processing your own bumper crop? Learn more at cre8como.com/como-cooks/.
