When is the best time to come?
Any time of day is a good time to visit to experience the butterflies throughout the course of their day. Arriving at the beginning of the day will allow visitors to seem waking up and fluttering around the flight house. As the sun peaks over the flight house, our butterflies become much more active and arriving later in the day gives guests the opportunity to witness them preparing for their wind down to sleep. Keep in mind there are also hundreds of native butterflies flying around outside enjoying our beautiful garden areas.

What can we do to help the farm?
We often get requests from customers that ask this question. We are always in need of volunteers to work at the farm doing various jobs and tasks. We are also in need of supplies and donations such as rocks for rock painting, paints, plants you may want to donate, planting supplies and many other items. See our donation list. Sponsorships for benches, trails and garden areas are greatly appreciated as well.
What can I do to help the pollinators?
Plant native plants, provide pollinating gardens to the butterflies to include watering stations, puddlers, host plants, nectar plants and sleeper plants. Mow less and leave natural habitats, don’t spray for bugs in your yard and don’t use pesticides that will harm the ecosystem. Educate your friends and family on how they can help.
