a machine picked red raspberry with the fungicide, like Quadris, and the like, will keep 2 or 3 weeks so box stores have time to transport them, and then sell them. The fungicide is applied during blossom, is absorbed by the leaf and then enters the green berry as it matures giving it the shelf life. Without fungicide, a raspberry has a shelf life of one to two days. Organic is usually sprayed with the insecticide, Spinosad, which is USDA organic certified and the sprayed food item is edible three days after application but has moderate residual meaning it is pretty hard to wash off and rain won't do it. That is how mass production, corporate giants mass produce profits to fill box store shelves or freezers.

and Buffalo Ranch has always been different since before the term organic was even coined. We use pheromone traps for early detection of insects that lay eggs in fruit, berries and vegetables, which turn into little white worms although they are only taste tainting not harmful. If we catch one pest, we spray with the mildest spray, derived from Chrysanthemum flower, where the food can be eaten the next day and it is low residual, meaning it washes right off in the rain. If the traps run clear, we don’t spray at all, as is often the case...like this year. ONLY a small, educated, hands in the dirt family farmer like Childs can successfully micromanage this way.
As far as fungicide, we handpick, dropping any raspberries not perfect and then flash freeze and bag in our double thick, BPA free freezer bags.
Labor costs so to get a bag of two heaping pints of clean, beyond organic red raspberries it is $20. Its a nice bag of excellent fruit great for smoothies and studies show has anti-aging qualities.
Visit us Wednesday or Saturday at the East Aurora Markets on Riley St 7 to 1; or, the North Tonawanda City Market at Robinson and Paine St., Saturdays 7 to 1; or, visit the Childs Farm Store, 3172 Cooper Hill Road Humphrey Township Hinsdale NY by appointment by calling or texting Carrie Childs at 716.229.9779. PRE-ORDER VIA Carrie for the Raspberries saying how many bags, which market and date to have it saved as quantities limited.

Think about how many flowers a honey bee lands on to gather a tablespoons worth of honey. If those flowers have chemicals from farms or lawn care on them it is consolidated in the honey giving a metallic aftertaste, in my opinion.
Our Untainted Raw Mountain Honey is sought after for its purity and it is only heated to 99 degrees or less, which is the high temperature in the bee hive. Raw can go to 120 degrees and often is but each degree lowers quality and neutralizes the enzymes, polyphenols and antioxidants, at least, to some degree.
Available Saturdays at both Markets but if you want it on Wednesday in East Aurora, shoot Carrie a text or call, as it is pre-order only on Wednesday. Weird, I know but let's leave it at that.

Our chemical free, sulfite free, preservative free, headache free w**e, regular $40, is still on sale for $25 and yes, you still get a $2 store credit for clean returned bottles and yes, tax is included so really, bottom line, about $21 a bottle. Organic w**e is usually 4 to 5 times that price after distributor and retailer markup. Ah, the beauty of farm markets!

Best around! See flyer below for details but basically, it works and you are getting a very concentrated elixir with roughly 4 pounds of elderberries per jar that is what some online sellers would charge $300 for. Still $40 for the first 16.9 ounce bottle and $35 for the second. Two dollar store credit for clean returned bottles. One tablespoon of Childs Elderberry Elixir equals roughly 12 of the sugary elderberry gummies. Dried Elderberry Syrup is basically a pan of tap water heated with dried elderberries added creating a nice pretty purple water. If you want cinnamon or cloves added, etc. added to an elderberry product you are in error. These beneficial herbs must be taken in the proper quantities and are only added to pad profits by the maker.
Childs is health department inspected.
Childs is FDA registered.
Childs Elderberry Elixir has been analyzed by Cornell Universities Venture Center and is shelf stable 2 years and six months, once opened, in the refrigerator.
Childs is a certified acidic food manufacturer as it's very important to handle food properly.

Blueberries back in season July 2027. Like us for updates. Our blueberries are the best on the planet, in my opinion.
We sell out of everything we make or grow so no, we don't ship but many customers ship to loved ones for gifts.
Take care,
Farmer Dan Childs
