Dani Dircks

At Sailor Mercy Elderberry Syrup Company, they value hard work, faith, and family; owner and founder, Dani Dircks, has certainly proved that to be true. In 2017 Dani’s oldest son missed three days of school which led to an expensive clinic visit. Being a mama of four, she wanted to find a natural way to keep the doctors away. She began making her elderberry syrup at home to help boost immunity for her family. She saw such success with her home-brewed healing she decided to start her own company. Named for her two daughters Sailor and Mercy, Dani is now aiding families nationwide with natural immune defense, Elderberries.

This delicious syrup is perfect for at-home DIY gummies, mixing into drinks, or making juicy ice pops for sore throats and hot days! She has also crafted a delicious and healthy Apple Cider Vinegar recipe “Fire Cider” which you’ll love to cook with or add to your daily health routine. We are excited to be a part of Dani’s new Elderberry Lemonade launch. This is no ordinary lemonade! You’ll love this special, lip smacking treat plus you get the healthy benefits of Elderberry! That’s a win-win!
