***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

We also ate the deep fried blossoms. They were sooo good. Please do a video Kevin. It will bring back memories and make my mouth water!
The flowers are very pretty.💞💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️💞💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️💞💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️💞💞💞🕊️🕊️🕊️💞💞
Wonderful vid Sara.
OH KEVIN WE ALL NEED A VID ON THE DEEP FRING🔥💥
Rose hips in the making. :)
I'm bless to have those growing wild all over my mother used to make medicine with them for all us when we had a bad cold
My dad used to make elderflower sparkling wine. They are very common in Germany. Elderflower syrup is also great.
Thank you for the infos ....!!! .did not know about the toxicity of the other parts of the bush..this is something that should be said in ALL...clips about the elderberries..
Angie Krajewski there are also different varieties...at least in our area there were...the ones with red berries were considered toxic but the purpley black berries were edible. Gotta make sure you read up on your plants really well before eating wild edibles! 😁
As a young girl, I collected elderflowers every year for my mother to make Elderflower Champagne.........an old Cotswold recipe. Here in New England, the timing of the Champangne to the harvest was such that the Champagne was just ready on New Year's Eve to toast the New Year.
Elderflower is also a diaphoretic so it also helps with breaking fever
Nice video. I recently discovered a bush growing next to my oak tree. I had a suspicion that it might be an elderberry bush. Once the flowers blossomed..I confirmed it was. Probably need to thank the birds for delivering the seeds...lol.
More on processing then please!
I researched the health benefits of red clover and ordered some from Frontier Foods. Thank you for all the work you do! Watching your videos has reignited my enthusiasm for homesteading.
I was thinking that if you wanted the wild roses you should get a cutting. The older roses will root very well. I have a rose that my nanny got a cutting from around 50 years ago. The lady she got it from had gotten a cutting from her mother and law. When she got married as a wedding present. And I would say she had been married over 40 years. So I could say it's probably cuttings that I can speak for over 130 years ago it never gets diseases like my others do and I cut it way back all the time. Love all the info on the flowers.
Living Miracle Homestead wild roses are not as easy to root as domestic ones. Much better to mark and dig them up in fall after it cools down. Otherwise it's a less than 25% rooting. I've tried for a few years. Finally dug one and now they are growing crazy
Thanks for that info it sounds pretty cool... we knew someone who's neighbor had a rose bush that was over a hundred years old and those blossoms for absolutely humongous and smell way better than anything in modern times
Thanks so much. My new elderberry is starting to blossom. 🌸
Mom made jelly pies n syrup with them 👌✌️
lovely video,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,three cheers for a fried flower video,,,,,,,,
I love the video of you admiring the wild flowers. The hydrangeas are amazing!
Lovely wild flowers 💐 I

I make Elderflower Cordial. Yummy! Getting ready to collect as many flowers as I can here in the UK. :) x
Wonderful info. Thank you!

I just love y'all's channel. Great info. God bless you and your family. Definitely want to see the fried flowers video from the hubby.
Your a great teacher Sarah! I did learn something new : )
I learned some things new today - so thanx ever so much, Sarah...
O cool. I remember country roads and picking elderberries with my grandpa for elderberry jelly. Yum 😋
I loved this one
I'm all for a video on deep fried Elderberry Blossoms!!
Wow that is great information. I planted 36 Elderberry cuttings this spring so I am glad that there is something more that can be used than just the berries. Thank you for sharing!
Great explanations, thank you.
Thank you. Yes Kevin we need another “In the kitchen, with Kevin” episode. 👍🏻
Thanks for the info ...
Awesome new information for me. Thank you
Hey family just caught your fried elder flower spot and i was totally into it not only for the fresh tastiness and surprise your dinner guestability but also for papa bears foresight to pass it on to the next generation.keep 'em comin' !!! Troy down here in florida
Gosh your countryside is very pretty, that stream you showed is beautiful.
Great information
Definitely want to see how you deep fry them!
Sweetbriar Roses! (That is the name of our farm.)
Yes! Kevin, got my vote!! Please share your stories!!! Sarah, thank you for taking us on your medicinal herbal scavenges! You are very encouraging!! (Must do this! Thank you!)
Yep elderflower blossoms deep friend.. Also great to cook elderflower sprig with gooseberries, I make a gooseberry & elderflower fool, also a jelly which goes great with fish& just spread on toast. Elderflower cordial is fantastic.... push the boat out & make elderflower champagne now that is fabulous.
Mitch Heywood elderflower champagne was the first fermenting project I did with my day when I was younger. SO good!
I love elderberry!! I use it to make a tea during the winter when I feel like I’m getting the flu, and it kicks it so much faster!!
We love our Elder tree in our UK back garden. We're sad to leave it behind as we make our move to the USA. Hopefully we will have some in our new garden, or plant some. I love your videos!!
I haven‘t had Elderberryflowers in batter in over 30 years! I remember them being very yummy though as a kid. Might have to go and see if I can forage some...
I miss living in MO so much!!! We lived in Callao near Macon. Had to move because of hubby's job. Oh what I wouldn't give to move back because there are many back roads full of this and thats!
Yes make the deep fried blossoms and show it! Never thought about those. We also have zillions of wild elderberries growing everywhere.
Great video, I had no idea!
WELL LET"S FRY SOME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Informative.
I love elderberries
OK Kevin a video on deep fried elder flowers is a must! never heard of it, Sara could you point me in the right direction in researching what wild medicinal's we should have on hand and how to put it together
We need to go flower picking.
Great video, I did not know about the flowers and funny my first thought was dunking them in batter and frying them :) I have 2 bushes I planted last year, it does not grow wild in my country so I will have to see once they start flowering if I want to sacrifice some berries to pick flowers :D
We’ve been harvesting elder flowers here in California we use it as a fever inducers
I am just now waiting for my seeds to come up so I too can have elderflower!
Thank you so much for this video. I just realized I have a elderberry bush....I saw the flowers and picked on for a arrangement. But they quickly wilted. But now I know what bush it is, and can't wait to pick the berries.....
Sallie Beard be careful. There is another bush that looks like elderberry bush but isn't.
Yeah I like to know more about the flowers myself especially the frying them let me know I'd be very interested
I hope you will do a video on making tea and tincture with the Elder flowers?
Deep frying makes everything better!
use the rose petals ot make rose petal jam. it's delicious and very healthy...
Thanks Sarah... I love these videos... Because of Elderflowers antiviral and anti-inflammatory benefits, they have been found beneficial in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) WOWSERS.. Our Herbs are truly amazing.. Thanks for your enthusiasm.. :)
Great info thanks for sharing.. :")
Thank you sarah that was lovely, how do you know so much about herb? and their uses. love sue xxx UK
Count me too, I would love to see a video on Deep Fried Elderflowers...
Elder flowers are best (I think) with tempura batter. Light as a sigh. It's been a long time since I cooked them, but they are totally delicious, deep fried. They don't need a thing, but perhaps a little salt.
That's good to know. I thought I just had to wait for berries.
THAT is a beautiful background. I couldn't stop looking at the red barns and that metal thing. Is it something from a wagon? Is that ALL your property or are the barns "across the street"? There was not 1 car going by through the whole video. Back a few videos ago I saw the first car ever driving up your road and Kevin even turned and looked during his talking! SO PEACEFUL! I am commenting in Jan of 2021 and I can't wait to continue on in my journey through your videos chronologically. You guys are THE best.
Do you not make elderflower cordial? It's lovely. Would love to see Kevin make the battered flowers video
Love your videos. I've told my hubby about the benefits of the flower but he says but then we won't have berries. 😕 Well I see benefits to both. Thanks for the video
We don't harvest ALL of the flowers. 😊
Wish we had elderberries where we live. At least I have never seen any.
Show us your deep fried elderflower. It sounds great. Like fried squash blossoms, sweet potato leaves.....
Great video. However the leaves are also medicinal. Especially for deep respiratory concerns and was recommended by a renowned herbalist for the 2021 virus.
You know a lot about medicinal plants. where did you get your knowledge is there a book or website we can go to
Sarah,
where do you find elderberries bushes? and how do I know what the flowers look like? in the wild. Would love to see Kevin deep fry the elder flowers.
Yes I am watching this on my little cell phone and it's hard to tell exactly if that's what I have growing around here or not stop
😊
I believe the rose was a Multiflora Rose which was declared a noxious weed in Missouri in the 1980s. Be cautious you do not get it on your property. Although they are beautiful, I can remember when they took over fields before MDC started an eradication program
How do you get rid of all the tiny bugs that come out of the flowers?
I'd like to know more about stinging nettle we have it growing on our property
Washn rub the leaves ,cook like spinach.
+1 on video Kevin, for deep fried elderberry flowers. PLEASE and TYIA😁
Do you know if the elderberries themselves are also good for constipation, or is it just that flowers?
I don't know about elderberries, but most fruits (especially stone fruits & figs) are laxative because the plants hope their animal consumers will poop out the seeds. I have never had an issue with constipation (if I eat something that is "off," the opposite occurs), but can verify that if you eat lots of prunes or even several pounds of Bing cherries at once, you will spend a lot of time on the toilet.
Doesn't deep frying cancel out all the benefits your going for?
Probably, but they taste oh so good!
Living Traditions Homestead
Ive never had either. Berry or flower but now i really want to try them.
I really love and appreciate your channel! And how you alway get back to us when we have a comment or question. You guys are great and your a great family!
Thanks for all the knowledge
deep fried elder flowers????? this i gotta see.......
First😊😆
Thank you.
Why do Americans say ERBS instead of HERBS ?
You can't tease us about deep frying anything and not follow up with a video. That would be cruel to our taste buds.
O cool. I remember country roads and picking elderberries with my grandpa for elderberry jelly. Yum 😋
