Lionberry
REGENERATIVE
Researchers from the University of South Florida, the University of Missouri, A.T. Still University, Indiana University, and the Children’s Hospital Colorado asked that exact question in their recent study. Focused specifically on patients with mild cognitive impairment, they concluded the following: “Preliminary findings show that daily elderberry juice consumption for 6 months in patients with […]

Lionberry recently celebrated Ag Day at the Kansas State Capitol. We talked about planting Elderberry and our quest to get Kansas on the map as a top producer of Elderberry!

The Epitome stopped by one of our pop-ups at the West Bottoms Market in Kansas City, Mo. He has been posting local business/restaurant reviews called HOOD DUDE FOOD REVIEW. He might be taking Elderberry Shots more often after he tries a Lionberry! Thanks for the kind words!
One of the most important parts of our day-to-day work is the ability to lift other local businesses along the way. Here are just a few of the ways we incorporate them: Ingredients Marketing We are also part of the Elder Farms Collective which includes 20-plus farms we buy additional elderberry from if we run […]

People act like small batch is a hobby.
Nope.
Every bottle from a small farmer is a value-added product inside a value food chain.
That chain is made of humans, not container ships.
If global trade gets tariffed to death, or the truckers strike, or a war kicks off, or a fuel shortage hits, or a natural disaster…guess what?
Walmart will not be driving to Thailand for pineapple juice.
Local food is the only thing that can actually disrupt the global supply chain — in a good way.
And here’s the delusion:
Everyone thinks “we’ll connect with the local farmers when we need them.”
Nope.
If the shelves go empty, it’s already too late.
Now is the time to get the relationships built. The value chain in motion.
Now is the time to slot locals in the stores — even if it’s as “novelty items” at first on a local farm shelf.
Because when the global pipeline hiccups?
The people who will actually feed your region
aren’t the ones with the biggest warehouses.
Shop local or… we’ll be learning how to season cardboard and call it rustic.
