Q&A with the Founders of Harvest Farmacy
Grace and Todd Vranac
Founders of Harvest Farmacy
@harvestfarmacy | harvestfarmacy.com
Grace and Todd are the founders of Harvest Farmacy, an elderberry farm on a mission to bring the highest quality elderberry to their customers. The Vranacs built an elderberry orchard in Texas so that they could have access to fresh elderberries and elderberry juice for their products. They crafted their Elderberry Wild Cider Health Tonic with a focus on anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich properties to cultivate wellness within their community.
What does wellness mean to you?
To us, wellness means supporting our bodies with nutrient dense foods and building a strong immune system to support our body. We love incorporating anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich foods into our diet.

Morning routine?
G: I start my mornings with a cup of warm lemon water and then quickly move on to my mushroom coffee. I cherish my morning coffee and it's something I look forward to. T: My morning consists of feeding the horses and our dog, Crawford. Then I enjoy a cup of coffee outside overlooking the farm.
Evening routine?
