Shady Oak Butterfly Farm's Story
Founded in 1999, Shady Oak Butterfly Farm started out by raising butterflies for use in release events, classrooms, exhibits, and home kits as well as providing plants to support butterflies in the home garden. In 2019, we stopped shipping for release events to focus on supporting educational facilities and instututions.
Beginning in 2023, Shady Oak Butterfly Farm has transitioned to offering plants needed for pollinator support as native butterfly habitats are steadily being encroached upon and dissapearing. We no longer raise butterflies at the farm and are concentrating all of our time and resources to expanding the supply of host and nectar plants across the United States.
