Latest News
Our regular retail season is over but we are still open by appointment - just call or email to schedule one. Like the Checkerspot butterfly, my farm's namesake, I am rarely too far from home. However, we will be open on Saturday, September 26th and Saturday, October 3rd. for plant sales and tours of the meadow - Asters now goldenrods taking center stage. Meadow tours will occur at 10, noon, and 2pm. Our annual Plants and Pie Event will be scheduled after that. Rain dates will be the Sunday of those two weekends. Registration will be open next week on this page. It's glorious out there - learn how to make your own mini meadow or just take a peaceful walk with me - tour is free and about 1/2 hour.
