This is Elderberry Edge Farm
Small Farm. Big Elderberry Vision.
Elderberry Edge Farm is a new farm project in Wisconsin founded by Jeffrey Conell, a former web developer who chose to trade screens for soil and build something lasting from the ground up. What started as a lifestyle change has grown into a long-term plan: cultivate healthy elderberries with care, build a sustainable farm operation, and create a trusted source of berries and elderberry-based products in the years ahead.
The farm is still in its early chapter, but the mission is clear—grow with patience, work with nature, and build a future farm that values quality over shortcuts. This website is the beginning of that journey.
Our Produce
Elderberry Edge Farm is focused first and foremost on elderberries, with plans to expand into small-batch products and complementary seasonal offerings as the farm grows. Every planting decision is guided by long-term soil health, climate suitability, and practical sustainability.

Our Story
Growing a Better Farm, One Season at a Time
After years of working in web development, Jeffrey Conell decided to pursue a different kind of building project—one rooted in land, seasons, and real food. Elderberry Edge Farm was born from that shift. Instead of launching websites for other businesses, he began learning how to establish berry rows, improve soil structure, manage planting cycles, and plan a farm designed for long-term resilience in Wisconsin conditions.
This is not a mass-production operation. It is a thoughtful, developing farm with a focus on elderberries, sustainable practices, and direct connection with future customers. The goal is to create a place where careful growing methods and honest farm values come first, while steadily expanding production and offerings over time.

Our Farm
The Home of Elderberry Edge Farm.
Natural. Sustainable. Future-Focused.
Elderberry Edge Farm is being developed as a practical, modern small farm designed around elderberry cultivation in Wisconsin. From site planning and planting layout to irrigation and seasonal maintenance, every step is being built with long-term efficiency and plant health in mind. The farm combines hands-on growing with careful planning—something Jeffrey brings from his years in tech and systems thinking.
As the farm develops, the focus remains on creating a productive and responsible space that supports reliable harvests, protects soil quality, and grows at a sustainable pace.
The farm development plan includes:
- Elderberry row planning and spacing
- Propagation and young plant establishment
- Seasonal irrigation strategy
- Soil nutrition and amendments
- Mulching and weed management systems
- Cold-weather preparation methods
- Harvest workflow planning
- Small-farm infrastructure improvements
