\u201cThis is a plant for the future, not a plant for the next few years, mainly because it is healthy and has an appealing taste,\u201d den Ouden said.  \u201cIt (sambucus nigra canadensis) is native to the U.S. and has been around since the early Native Americans.  Today, it has the potential to be a profitable crop for East Coast growers in addition to the Mid-West where acres and acres are grown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration is free and available on Eventbrite<\/a>.  For more information, contact den Ouden at hdenouden@umes.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
