Mindfully Made

If you’re making a stop at Family Tree Nursery for plants, flowers, or a few things for the garden, you can find Mindfully Made Elderberry there, too! 🌿

We’re genuinely grateful to be stocked at Family Tree Nursery and love having our Elderberry available in a place that’s such a longtime part of our local community. 💜

Creamy chai at home, made easy. ☕

Turn your Slow Cook Chai into a cozy, café-style drink with this simple 3-ingredient vegan creamer made with coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla extract.

Make your Slow Cook Chai on the stovetop or in a small crockpot, then add the creamer:

• Start with 2 oz. creamer to 10 oz. prepared chai, then adjust to taste
• Froth the creamer first for more of a latte feel
• Make it ahead and keep refrigerated

Save this one for your next cozy fall morning. 🍂

There’s a lot that goes into every batch of our Fire C***r. 🔥

Starting with fresh plant material - LOTS of grated ginger, horseradish, turmeric, onion, garlic, habanero, citrus, rosemary, thyme, dried elderberries + rainbow peppers - completely submerged it in raw apple c***r vinegar.

From there, we let it slowly infuse for four weeks. Then, the entire infusion is cold pressed to capture all of that bold, spicy, goodness and finished with raw, unfiltered wildflower honey to balance the tartness and heat.

Fresh ingredients. Slow infusion. Small batch. Always made with intention and care. 💜

Before elderberries ever reach our kitchen, they’ve been carefully tended by growers and their families for months.

🌿 Certified-organic growing methods
💧 Carefully managed irrigation
🌱 Ongoing attention to plant health
🫐 Hand harvested at peak ripeness

Because elderberries don’t all ripen at once, our growers make multiple passes through the fields, selecting only the ripest clusters by hand.

That attention to detail and extreme care in the field is where it all begins.

As Mindfully Made continues to grow, we’re looking for a few passionate people to grow with us! 🌿

We’re currently hiring for:

→ Operations
→ Kitchen Production
→ Farmers Market Leads

We’re looking for dependable, kind, hard-working people who care about doing things well - whether that’s keeping things organized behind the scenes, working with their hands in our production kitchen, or spending a Saturday morning connecting with KC customers at the farmers market.

Know someone who sounds like a great fit? Please send this their way. 💜
