A Day to Make a Difference

Every November 15th, America Recycles Day reminds us that small actions can create lasting change. At Elderberry Family Farms, we believe every family can make a positive impact through mindful choices—whether it’s reusing jars, composting, or choosing products made with care for our planet. This special day encourages everyone to take a fresh look at what we throw away and how we can do better together.

Our Farm’s Commitment to Sustainability

From the beginning, our mission has been to blend wholesome wellness with eco-friendly practices. We craft our elderberry products in small batches using natural ingredients, reusable containers, and minimal plastic. Our glass jars and amber bottles are not only beautiful—they’re recyclable and perfect for giving new purpose long after the last drop of syrup or honey is gone.

Creative Ways to Reuse Your Elderberry Jars

Instead of tossing your jars, why not transform them? Use empty jam jars for homemade candles, as herb planters, or to store loose-leaf teas. Many customers love creating beeswax candles using our Beeswax Candle Kit, which repurposes our 8-oz jars and brings cozy light to your home. These small recycling projects keep glass out of landfills and spark creativity within your family.

Teaching the Next Generation

Every jar reused is a lesson in stewardship. Teaching children about recycling and sustainability helps them see the connection between what we consume and the world we live in. Turn recycling into a family activity—decorate jars together, label storage containers, or make holiday gifts using repurposed packaging. It’s a hands-on way to celebrate America Recycles Day while nurturing lifelong values.
