Making Elderberry Mead with Homegrown Honey | Fermentation & Cultures

In this video, I’m making elderberry mead using elderberries harvested on our land and honey from our own beehives. This is a simple, traditional method of mead-making—an old-world fermentation using homegrown ingredients. Elderberry mead is deeply rooted in traditional food preservation and herbal culture, and it’s one of my favorite ways to turn seasonal harvests into something meaningful and shelf-stable. When I first started planting out my food forest, elderberries were one of the earliest native fruits to take root. They’ve become a favorite here—not just for their beauty and ecological value, but for all the ways they can be used in the kitchen and beyond. I’m making a batch of mead using elderberries I harvested right here on our land, blended with honey from our own hives. There’s something special about fermenting a drink from ingredients that grew just steps from the kitchen door. It’s old-world meets homestead living—and it’s one of my favorite kinds of projects. If you're curious about mead-making, or just love seeing what’s possible with homegrown ingredients, I hope you’ll join me for this one. It’s not just about making a good drink—it’s about celebrating self-sufficiency, native plants, and the simple joy of crafting something meaningful from what nature gives us. 🍯 Don’t forget to give the video a like if you enjoy it, and subscribe if you’d like to follow along with more food forest projects, fermentation ideas, and seasonal kitchen creations. *Important note: I said D47 yeast was formulated for champagne, but I meant wine.
