Information about Sweet Memories Butterfly Farm...

Sweet Memories Butterfly Farm is not one of those pretty butterfly exhibits you see around the country. We are a real working butterfly farm. On all farms you will see life and death, and its no different here. Our butterflies, caterpillars and chrysalis all die of natural causes or
old age . Our roses may have black spot but our plants don't recieve any chemicals to make them grow. We do not spray, and we sure dont have time to weed. Our main goal on this farm is to educate people on how they can make a diffrence by increasing the butterflies in their own backyard. Before we started raising butterflies, we would see one or two a week, now we see many everyday and you can do the same! If you help these beautiful creatures, they will reward you with presence and they will also pollinate your flowers!

Increasing the butterfly population one release at a time!.

It is our hope to see everybody increase butterflies in their backyards and gardens. Everyone can make a difference and beautify this world if they would stop using pesticides and plant a butterfly garden. Butterflies usually make their homes where they are released as long as you have nectar and host plants.

Releasing butterflies helps keep the earth green by pollinating plants.

Butterfly farming is THE greenest industry in the wedding and party planning market. There is no question that a butterfly farm is not only not harmful to our ecosystem, but it's actually beneficial to the environment. We help reduce pollution. Even better - when the butterflies are released into the environment, they become a vital part of the circle of life. As they flutter from flower to flower, they are unknowingly helping the plants to breed, form seeds, and start new seedlings. And then those plants, also unknowing, help draw carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas) out of the air and process it for food and energy. It's an amazing lifecycle - and one that you can be a part of by releasing live monarch butterflies!
