POV: You're about to try my Fire C***r for the first time, and I know something you don't 🤭

There's something deeply satisfying about knowing you're about to absolutely RUIN someone's expectations of Fire C***r 💣

They think they're about to take a shot of spicy vinegar.

Some have legitimately REAL FEAR in their eyes 😬

Meanwhile, I'm standing there like a mad scientist who knows EXACTLY what's about to happen 😈

Because we've spent 12 WEEKS infusing roots, herbs, and other botanicals into organic apple c***r vinegar, then balancing all that pungent, plant-powered goodness with organic honey.

The result? Not hot sauce. Not punishment. Not something you have to choke down because it's "good for you."

It's sweet. Savory. Zesty. Complex. Almost vinaigrette-like, with a whole lot more personality.

And then comes my favorite part.

The eyebrows go up. The eyes get BIG. There's usually a pause, followed by some variation of "HOLY SH*T, THAT'S GOOD."

And I just stand there trying to act like I didn't know that was coming. 😂

THAT is the joy of being a maker.

Watching someone discover that traditional, nutrient-rich foods don't have to be endured to be enjoyed.

A little sensory explosion. A whole lot of botanical goodness. And one very smug Crunchy mama behind the booth. 💥🌿

No, elderberry syrup is not a 💉
No, we’re not telling you what to put in your body (or not put in).

Annnnnd no, we’re not particularly interested in being told what to put in ours either

Definitely didn't waste 10 years in college to learn diddly about ACTUAL health 🤡

What we WILL say is that elderberry isn’t some woo-woo wellness trend somebody invented on TikTok. It’s been studied extensively in human clinical trials for influenza and upper respiratory symptoms and the is actually incredible 👀

And then there’s the part clinical trials can’t tell you about our specific bottle:

Seven years. Thousands of customers. And an absolutely overwhelming amount of feedback that sounds something like:

“This stuff WORKS.”
“I swear by this stuff.”
“We don’t go a winter without it.”
“My kids actually ASK for it.”
-Some even fight over it 😆

Anecdotal?

Yep.

Thousands and thousands of anecdotes?

Also yep.

So when sick season comes knocking, we’re reaching for the purple stuff and the spicy stuff. Elderberry Syrup + Fire C***r. 🌿🔥

You make the choices that feel right for your family.

We’ll make ours.

Lame Disclaimer Because: Customer experiences are anecdotal and aren’t proof that a product prevents or treats illness. This post is not medical advice.

You wanted bigger bags 😎
We gave you bigger bags 💦

Apparently size does matter… at least when it comes to Bluetiful 💧

After hearing over and over that you wanted MORE, we took the hint.

Bluetiful Mineral Gut Glow is officially available in BIG 25-serving bags.

More electrolytes.
More trace minerals.
More prebiotic goodness.
More electric blue magic.
And significantly less of that “wait… I’m already out?!” nonsense.

Not ready for that kind of commitment? 10-serving bags are available too for anyone who wants to flirt with Bluetiful before going all in 😉

Same Bluetiful you know and love. Just… bigger where it counts 👌

You asked. We delivered.

Go ahead. Grab the big one. 💙

A little small-business perspective 🫶

We saw a LOT of excitement around our Elderberry BOGO this week—and since it ended, we've heard from quite a few people who are bummed they missed it.

So we thought this might be worth talking about.

When a small business runs a sale, the discount isn't free for us.

There isn't a giant corporate marketing budget somewhere absorbing the difference.

Every dollar you save is a dollar we intentionally choose not to collect.

For a truly small, family-owned business, those are the same dollars that pay for our organic ingredients, production, bottles, labels, labor, merchant fees, shipping materials—and ultimately, the family behind the business.

We LOVE running a really good sale occasionally. And when we say BOGO, we want it to actually feel like a BOGO. 😂

But promotions have to have boundaries.

They have start dates, end dates and sometimes quantity limits. Shipping isn't actually free (someone always pays for it!), and when a promotion ends, it has to end.

That's part of keeping this little business sustainable enough to still be here tomorrow. 💜

And here's something we REALLY don't want getting lost in all the BOGO excitement:

WE JUST LOWERED THE EVERYDAY PRICE OF OUR ELDERBERRY SYRUP. 🙌

Not for 24 hours.
Not with a coupon code.
Not only if you buy two.

We lowered it. Period.

Because making high-quality, organic wellness products as accessible as we reasonably can matters to us.

And one of the most meaningful ways you can support a small business isn't just shopping their sales.

It's shopping with them when there isn't one.

THAT is what allows us to occasionally turn around and say, "You know what? Let's give them a REALLY good deal."

And if you're kicking yourself because you missed this one—subscribe to our email list! It's completely FREE through our website, and that's where we announce sales, launches, restocks and special offers so you don't have to hope the algorithm shows you a post in time.

To everyone who jumped on this BOGO: THANK YOU. We hope you felt absolutely spoiled. 💜

To everyone who missed it: there will be other fun things ahead.

But this BOGO?

She's officially retired. ✌️

A little over 24 hours left and already over 100 bottles gone 👀

This is your LAST CHANCE to get our Organic Elderberry Syrup on BOGO 🏃‍♂️💨

Just in time for Back-to-School and sick season 🙌

And whooooooweee it's tasty 😋

THE BOGO WE OWED YOU IS FINALLY HERE 💜

Every year, we run a Back-to-School Elderberry BOGO so our families can stock up as kids head back to school + sick season starts making its rounds.

This year… we literally couldn’t. 😅

You cleaned us out, inventory was way too low to support our biggest sale, and for the first time—we had to skip it.

But we didn’t forget.

We’re FINALLY restocked, so we’re honoring the tradition a few weeks late:

✨ BUY ONE ELDERBERRY SYRUP, GET ONE 50% OFF
✨ TWO full-size bottles for $51
✨ No code needed
✨ Our ONLY Elderberry BOGO for the rest of 2026

And there’s another little surprise we never officially announced…

We LOWERED our everyday Elderberry price, too.

After hearing from our community about how much families are feeling the squeeze right now, we dropped our price from $38 all the way to $34—even lower than our previous $35 price.

Because if we can't get these products into your homes and into the hands of the families we created them for… what's the point?

And THIS batch?! 🤌

We increased the raw honey by about 10%, making arguably one of the yummiest batches we’ve ever made. We're closing that gap even further for the picky kiddos who need a little extra convincing. 😉

PLUS, our bottles are now heat sealed + shelf stable until opened—so crack open bottle #1, refrigerate it, and tuck bottle #2 right into the cupboard until you need it.

🚨 IMPORTANT: The BOGO is its own product on our website. Add the Elderberry BOGO directly to your cart. Adding two individual bottles will NOT activate the deal.

No code needed. Not valid with other discounts. Not valid at any of our retail partners locations- only valid online.

⏰ ENDS WEDNESDAY 9/23 AT 11:59 PM PT.

And we mean it when we say this is the last one:
There will NOT be another Elderberry BOGO in 2026.

Go stock those cupboards. 💜

We scaled the batch...
But we didn’t scale the soul out of it 🫶🍇

For the last 7 years, we've making our Elderberry Syrup roughly 50 jars at a time

Today, we have better equipment, a beautiful production facility and a whole lot more hands helping us make just over 1,000 bottles in a batch.

And believe it or not… that’s still verrry SMALL 🤏

Our production team regularly runs batches of 20,000+ units for other brands

Us? We’re perfectly happy staying little 🤗

Because even with better equipment and more hands, this is still an incredibly hands-on process

We work together meticulously from batch to batch, adjusting for the natural variables that come with REAL, organic ingredients — flavor, viscosity, color, aroma and all the little nuances that change when you’re working with plants...

But the goal has never changed:

We want your inner two-year-old to jump for joy when you taste our Elderberry Syrup 🙌

Because “healthy” does NOT have to mean funky 💯

Elderberries on their own are musky, bitter and tart 👀 So we’ve obsessed over transforming that profile into something people genuinely look forward to taking every day 😋

Layer upon layer of organic elderberries, rosehips, echinacea, ginger, cinnamon and cloves — finished with real, sweet honey — each ingredient bringing its own flavor and powerful plant constituents to the final bottle

There is intention behind every ingredient and every step 🙏

Bigger batches.
Better equipment.
More hands around the table.

Still small.
Still meticulous.
Still handmade.

And that’s exactly how we plan to keep it 💜

ORGANIC DOESN’T HAVE TO MEAN BORING. 🌿✨

Real food can be indulgent. Creative. Savory. Sweet. And ridiculously delicious.

That’s part of what we’re building at the Real Food Farmers Market — a place where eating intentionally doesn’t mean sacrificing the foods + flavors that make life FUN.

Meet a few of the specialty food makers bringing the flavor:

🍪 Ritual Cookies — JUMBO cookies made with organic ingredients like unbleached flour, pasture-raised eggs, European-style butter, cane sugar + chocolate. Proof that a better ingredient label can still make one heck of a cookie.

🌿 Crunchy Cottage — Traditional herbal wellness made delicious. Organic Elderberry Syrup, Fire C***r + functional herbal blends rooted in old-world wellness traditions.

🔥 ForkFire — Small-batch marinades bringing SERIOUS umami flavor to the table. The kind of bottle that takes a simple meat dish completely over the top.

🍯 Love Honey Co. — Local raw + unfiltered honey, whipped and infused with herbs, spices + foods into incredible sweet AND savory creations. We seriously suggest you taste the Chipotle Garlic Honey Glaze. 🤤

And that’s only FOUR of our specialty food makers.

We’ve also got artisan sourdough, fresh-baked muffins + banana nut and blueberry crumble loaves, locally roasted coffee, handcrafted vanilla extract, and fresh herbal tea blends made from herbs grown straight out of the ground.

🍋 And when we say lemonade, we definitely don’t mean just lemonade. Think fresh-pressed lemonade + handcrafted shaved ice with a whole lineup of flavors, customizable combinations, specialty creations, HOT-pressed lemonades and seasonal twists.

Organic living doesn’t have to be bland or boring. Around here, real food IS the fun stuff. 🤎

A lot of y'all out here not realizing the psyop happening right in front of your eyes

And what's even worse- you're feeding the beast

The powers that be would LOVE to use every word and empathetic tear from women in solidarity over postpartum conditions AGAINST YOU

Watch how many SEE PEA ESS cases start popping up every time a new mom is diagnosed now and the families that get torn apart because y'all felt for a woman who admitted to ⚰️ her own children

Custody cases
Job security
Positions of leadership
Volunteering or working with children .... the right to vote?

All on the line now 🤦‍♀️

From C0\/1D to k1||er$- y'all just keep falling for it

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 👌
