Historical Roots

Cockeyed Farms holds the remarkable title of the first American Elderberry farm in Franklinton, Louisiana. Owned and operated by veterans, the farm began as a holistic living endeavor, driven by the owners' passion for health and organic farming practices.

Offerings

Cockeyed Farms specializes in American Elderberry and offers a variety of products such as cold-pressed Elderberry Juice, which is sweetened only with honey, and a range of creamed honeys including Blueberry and Elderberry varieties. They create their products using locally grown, organic produce to boost nutritional value and minimize the use of extra ingredients or artificial thickeners.

Practices

The farm prides itself on its organic and locally grown ethos. Their honey is crafted using small batch production methods, ensuring quality and supporting the health benefits of their products. These include antioxidant-rich, allergy-fighting superfoods like elderberries and blueberries, which are freeze-dried before being blended into honey without any heat treatment, preserving their beneficial properties.

Community Engagement

Cockeyed Farms champions community involvement with their U-Pick seasonal berry picking experiences. These activities not only provide visitors with the chance to hand-pick produce but also educate families about the benefits of organic farming and holistic health. Appointments are required to participate, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience.
