I ordered 1 lb dried elderberries, and both types of the strainer bags...cotton & nylon. I was surprised how quickly the package arrived! I haven't used the berries or the bags yet, but I can tell you, the elderberries are beautiful, and the bags are high quality. All the berries are dark...meaning they were ripe when harvested, and contain no stems, sticks, loose seeds, or other debris. Another plus is that they aren't over dried. They have a sheen of sorts...not dull looking. I have no doubt these elderberries will make awesome syrup! Also, Shannon was very gracious to answer my emailed questions in a prompt, friendly, thorough manner. I will most definitely order again from Elderberry Edge Farm!
