Carmel Berry Co. is a 100% woman-owned, farmer-focused business founded by Katie Reneker after she discovered elderberries growing wild in her local community. What began with her family’s love of elderberry syrup grew into a mission to create delicious, fresh-pressed elderberry products using certified organic American-grown elderberries and hand-picked local elderflowers. One of the first elderberry brands to source domestically, Carmel Berry Co. is committed to supporting local farmers, strengthening local food systems, and living sustainably.
