Brew Naturals was a Vendor Partner for the SimplyNCgoods November 2024 holiday-themed box. Samara Price, the originator of Brew Naturals, provided her Elderberry Apple Butter for this most recent subscription box from SimplyNCgoods. This Elderberry Apple Butter is made with the same premium ingredients as all products from Brew Naturals, highlighting the Appalachia region of NC. We were already excited to have Samara as a Vender Partner prior to Hurricane Helene impacting her area, and were even more grateful to be able to support her small business as she’s been working to recover from the impacts of Helene.
Appalachian Elderberry Highlight
Samara shared a bit about her elderberry syrup, the foundation of her other products, with us:
“Brew Naturals’ elderberry syrup blends tradition with versatility. Made with fresh, regionally harvested elderberries and local honey, it’s crafted to complement both wellness routines and culinary creations. Free from fillers and additives, this syrup offers a rich, fruity flavor perfect for drizzling, mixing, or enjoying by the spoonful. Woman-owned and committed to sustainable practices, Brew Naturals brings the best of Appalachia’s native superfruit to your table.”
The Elderberry Apple Butter included in the recent SimplyNCgoods box contained all the goodness of locally grown elderberries and apples, along with an autumn spice that makes it to pair with your toast, bagel, or biscuit.
The Story of Brew Naturals
Every small business has a story behind how it got started, and Brew Naturals is no different. We love learning the stories behind each of our Vendor Partners and are honored to be able to share their stories with you.
About Brew Naturals:
“Brew Naturals is rooted in the Appalachian tradition of using elderberries for wellness, with a modern twist. Founded by Samara, the company grew from her passion for creating delicious, functional foods that celebrate the native superfruit.
From the start, Brew Naturals has prioritized quality by using fresh, regionally sourced berries—no shortcuts, no fillers. Our products are crafted for food lovers who appreciate flavor as much as function, offering traditional and innovative elderberry products.
Woman-owned and community-focused, Brew Naturals remains committed to sustainable practices, supporting local farmers, and connecting people to the richness of real food.”
We love that Samara is connected to the nature and people of Appalachia! Purchasing from Brew Naturals not only means you get high-quality tasty products, but your also supporting multiple farmers and small businesses right here in North Carolina.
Brew Naturals offers a wide variety of elderberry products – everything from syrups and mixers to spreads to freeze dried snacks.
Some North Carolina Love
SimplyNCgoods is all about loving and sharing North Carolina. We invited Samara to share about something she appreciates about NC, and here is what she said:
“I love that we have it all. Rural and city, mountains and beaches, mild enough weather to enjoy outdoor spaces *almost* year round. (I am not a fan of temps below 20 or over 80)”
We agree – North Carolina does have quite a lot to offer, and many days each year that are perfect for enjoying those outdoor adventures.
