Eating a smart breakfast leads to healthier choices all day long, which is true for me, even if the reason is less scientific and more guilt-driven. When I start the day with healthy fare, like Elderberry Ginger Pecan Parfaits, I’m that much more likely to make better choices throughout the rest of the day. When I start the day with bacon and pancakes, it’s only a matter of time before I want macaroni & cheese or pizza. Or macaroni & cheese and pizza. Damn it. Even though I typically gravitate toward savory foods unless ice cream is involved, I’m also a fan of Greek yogurt flavored with fresh fruit. Or, if it’s allegedly springtime in Chicago but there hasn’t been even a hint of springlike weather in the air, Greek yogurt flavored with Norm’s Farms Elderberry Ginger Pecan Jam.

We recently discovered Norm’s Farms, a family-owned business based in North Carolina that happens to be at the forefront of one of the most sustainable and exciting new crops: Elderberry.   Their products, which include plants, jellies, jams, preserves, extracts and syrups packed with with Vitamins A, B and C , iron, potassium, are made here in the United States. Founded by Ann, Rodger, and Erin Lenhardt, the Norm’s Farms family believes in the sustainable production of healing foods made with natural, simple ingredients–just like the elderberries that they grow. Because the Norm’s Farms family recognizes that their small Missouri farm cannot keep up with the company’s demand, they have begun working with small family farmers in North Carolina to help establish elderberry orchards. Norm’s Farms will have a local source of elderberries for their products in addition to those grown in Missouri. Growing up, I had a major sweet tooth that was especially loyal to anything chocolate.
