Power Pack Your Wellness Kits & Travel Bags with Eldies
With an increase of people traveling again post Covid, Katie Reneker, the mom of two growing boys and Carmel Berry Co. founder, wanted a convenient, portable and delicious elderberry product as potent and well-sourced as her company’s top-selling immune syrups. Unable to find options in the marketplace that weren’t filled with sugar, sugar and more sugar, along with microscopic amounts of elderberry, Reneker and her team decided to craft their own.
“While the process of crafting the immune gummy took more than 12 months, I refused to compromise on anything,” said Reneker. “Our Eldies are made using top-notch sourcing; have 3X the amount of American-grown organic elderberries per serving than many leading brands on the market; contain only natural, zero-refined sweeteners; and incorporate more sustainable packaging. The result? An immune gummy you can feel really good about including in your family’s and your own daily wellness routine.”

History of Healing—A True Superfruit
Carmel Berry Co.’s gummies provide an easy, tasty and portable way for consumers to incorporate key benefits of the elderberry into their daily routine. Elderberries have been used for centuries by communities around the world for its potent nutritional benefits and immune support in foods, beverages, and traditional remedies for a wide range of ailments. Containing even more polyphenols with antioxidant activity than the blueberry, elderberry is a nutrient-dense food that grows right here in the U.S. Elderberries contain calcium, iron and vitamins A, B6 and C. Elderberry also contain high levels of several antioxidants, which may also contribute to heart and brain health, aid in diabetes treatments, and help suppress cancerous activity. Some recent small-scale studies have found elderberry syrup could also help reduce cold and flu symptoms, other upper respiratory viral infections, as well as support the digestive system and relieve inflammation.

Our Mission—Elderberry For Good!
“It feels good to know where our food comes from, so why should a gummy be any different? Even a small, potent, yummy gummy can bring about a big positive change—not only to our health, as individuals—but to our families, our local community, our farmers, and to living sustainably,” added Reneker who has emerged and is now at the forefront of the elderberry movement in the U.S., shaping the resurgence of this ancient fruit through grants, advocacy, education, and mentorship for small family farms and impacting over 400 farmers in 2023 alone.
Discovering the natural, immune-boosting elderberries in 2015, Reneker saw the potential of the shrub which is native to California. She founded Carmel Berry Co. to bring American-sourced, fresh-pressed, certified organic elderberry and elderflower products to consumers searching for this artisanal superfood. While most of the elderberry and elderflower products currently available in the U.S. are actually imported from Europe and sold dried, Reneker sources only fresh berries domestically-grown and sourced to craft her products and bring this powerful, antioxidant fruit with the highest quality and sourcing to consumers. With an unwavering focus, this mom-founded, certified Women-owned by WBEC, small business is committed to creating delicious fresh pressed elderberry goods to promote health & wellness, and support our community, our farmers, and our planet!
