About OFF GRID with DOUG and Stacy
In 2010 we decided to sell everything and build a log cabin on 11 acres. We have lived in the log cabin for a decade now with no solar power or wind power plus zero public utilities. We live like the pioneers except in the 21st century. We post videos on social media to encourage people to return to the land and make a living with your family. We teach folks:
*Off grid living *Rain water catchment *Cooking with wood
*Food growing *Cooking from scratch *Raised bed gardening
*Food harvesting *fermenting the harvest *food preservation
*Holistic Remedies like Grandma made *How to make money and live this life

All of our videos are made to empower you to break free and LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!

Stacy you should plant them behind the bee hive along the fence row. They would provide shade and a wind break in summer for the hives and I am sure the bees would love the flowers.

I grew up foraging berries with my Cherokee mother. She made elderberry jelly which I never liked. When I learned how high in vitamin C it was, I foraged some by the side of a country road and went home and made a tincture. Wow! It’s better than the expensive hard bitter supplement I was trying to choke down every day -I had chronic sinus problems and the tincture fixed that! 👍🏼

This is the first time I've heard that American Elderberry has no cyanide vs European Elderberry. Time to do some research on this! Links to info would be much appreciated 😄

[@vinlago]

There's also sambucus canadensis (canadian). IDK how to identify one vs the other but some are red, blue/purple or black. I believe black is sambucus nigra (European).

[@princessportia4375]

I think he said American elderberry has a lot less cyanide, than European elderberries, not that it does not have any....

[@tiedwithafibromyalgiabow]

It’s safe for animals too. I have a 21 year old cat who had a sinus infection and I gave him a drop of elderberry in the morning and one at night and after a week he was more healthy before he got sick. ❤

Last year when my wife and I were picking our elderberries one of the branches broke off. We decided to try and propagate some of the broken branch. We did the cuttings and boy did they take off. I later planted them and can't wait to see how they are doing right now. Thanks for this information on how to use our elderberries in more ways than just jelly. I plan on trying these and especially the ones with honey since we are also beekeepers. Thanks again for a great video.

[@papasmurf9146]

About a year and a half ago we made some Elderberry Syrup (Elderberry, honey, clove, ginger). I diluted it down to a specific gravity of about 1.100, added yeast, and turned it into wine. After bottling it, we stored it in a nice dark place and forgot about it until about a month ago. Absolutely the best wine we've ever made. Full bodied, fantastic flavor. We're down to one bottle and I'm regretting not having started another batch or two.

I am glad to have found him through an earlier video where you were outside at a table talking to him. I got to see you touring the fields, bringing harvest in, watching the separator work, and placing cleaned berries into buckets. Terry also showcased his products, one of which was elderberry jelly! I thought to myself, now, would this be good as my grandmother used to make from her berries? I placed an order and received it fairly quickly! Ohhh my! It was hard to believe it! Just like my grandmother's jelly! I cried with happiness! Try some, you will be surprised! Also ordered juice. Kept me well all winter! Little goes a long way. Thanks for having him show ideas for his newest products!

Elderberry is true medicine. Great stuff. I personally feel the flower tincture is stronger than berry syrup though. However the syrup is plenty effective. Super easy to grow and highly recommend growing or wild crafting your own. It grows wild in mass all over my state of Florida. Look for moist areas.

[@libbyminchin3163]

I have an elderberry that’s going to produce fruit this year so this was very timely for me. Thank you. BTW. I was watching a KZbin about the Amish community and they showed a picture of Doug! lol x

[@calliehagood]

This is so timely! I just discovered that the shrubs that have been annoying me for years are American Elderberries! I did a 180 real quick. I spent about an hour clearing out all of the dead cane and only left the live ones but now I know I can go through and cut them down to the ground and they'll grow! It's February here too. Like I said, perfect timing! Thank you!

would u pls outline WHY this is a good thing/so many benefits? half in and zero reasons why they are good...just commercials to endure hoping it will be stated clearly. well, i guess it is time for my own research. the title said everything you need to know but not all of us are growers, know what tinctures are for or "so many other benefits" ergh. I saw a jar for $20 organic and had hope to know what it is used for ....

[@sharoncaldwell2204]

Elderberry is used medicinally in cough and cold compounds, even commercially. They have a great amount of antioxidants. When I have winter colds I drink elderberries with colloidial silver. It is worth extra research. I am sure mentioning too much medical info gets the you tuber in trouble and possibly demonitized.
