More About the Maker: My Elderberry Fairy is a family-owned and operated herbal apothecary in Atlanta, Georgia. Everything is hand-crafted, bottled, and packaged in small batches, using fresh ingredients and preparations designed to preserve the quality of the plants. The signature syrup is made with organic elderberries, elderflowers, rosehips, hibiscus, lemon and orange peel, ginger, and raw honey. It deliberately skips the thickeners and additives that big-box syrups use for shelf stability. Amy works with local growers and community partners. Her promise is simple: “We will only serve you what we confidently serve our own family.”
