We connected with Abra a couple months ago over our shared love for good food and healthy living. Abra offered to give our Elderberry Extract and Elderberry Wellness Syrup a try and, if she liked it well enough, to post a review of both products on her blog, Abra's Kitchen.

Abra's review posted on January 27 in the middle of the worst cold and flu epidemic our country has seen in decades. Every day we hear about hospitals overwhelmed with the critically ill, and even worse, those who did not survive the flu. This year's influenza vaccine has been disappointingly effective too. Reports are that that it is somewhere between 10-30 % effective at fighting this year's strains of flu and that the flu virus has been mutating quickly, too. Most public health experts do not think we've hit the peak of the flu season yet. They report that the flu season is typically 10 to 20 weeks long. We are at week 11.

All of which makes Abra's Kitchens' blog, incredibly helpful and timely. Yes, Abra posted a lovely review of our Elderberry Extract and Elderberry Wellness Syrup (thank you, Abra!) and she also provided many wonderful recipes anyone can make at home to boost your family's immune system and provide some anti-viral protection too.   Abra's review of our Elderberry Extract and Elderberry Wellness Syrup includes recipes for Honey Fermented Garlic, Kung Flu Fighter Tea, Thyme and Buckwheat Cough Syrup and some great old-fashioned advice on how to stay healthy during this particularly challenging winter. If you or your loved ones are already sick, you'll appreciate her home-made remedies too.  Abra offered her readers a 20% off discount on Norm’s Farms Elderberry Extract and Elderberry Wellness Syrup and we are extending that offer through February 16 for you!  Just enter the code “AbrasKitchen20” at checkout.
