{"product_id":"carlisle-elderberry","title":"Carlisle Elderberry","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eWhen we bought the Farm on Central property, There was a solitary elderberry plant growing in the field. It was quite small because every single year they would spray the field which would burn back the plant and then it would grow back throughout the rest of the summer. We didn’t want it in that location, so we kept bush hogging it, but it just kept coming back. AS it’s now officially the most resilient elderberry we have, we’re going to go ahead and offer in the store this year.
