So my new favorite shift is night shift. Making compost at 70 degrees makes a lot more sense than 95

Monarchs need our help along their journey! Plant pollinator friendly flowers this Spring. 🏵

Farmstand on Fishmarket will have Butterflyw**d; a native, perennial arriving at the City of McLoud Farmers Market in early May. Keep on the look out for these beautiful flowers as Milkw**d is essential to the ongoing life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly.

Our milkw**d starts are also available for Pre-Orders now through the website @ www.farmstandonfishmarket.com

Please like and share this post with your friends and family and we can create a safe haven for Monarchs right here amongst our local community.

We look forward to seeing you soon 🏵 Spring has arrived!

Right now, in the mountains of central Mexico, monarchs are waking up.

They've been sleeping since November — clustered so thick the trees bend under their weight. This week they begin the journey north.

The butterfly that left your garden last September will never return.

She made it to Mexico. She survived the winter. But she won't make it back to your yard. Instead she'll fly north into Texas, find milkw**d, lay eggs, and her journey ends there.

Her children continue north. They live a few weeks. Lay eggs. The next generation pushes further. Then the next. It takes four generations to reach the northern states.

Then in late summer something changes.

The fourth generation is different. They don't reproduce. They live eight to nine months instead of weeks. They fly three thousand miles south to a forest in Mexico they've never seen. And they find the exact same trees their great-great-grandparents left.

No one fully understands how.

The migration isn't one journey. It's a relay race across a continent, written in genes. And it depends entirely on one plant being available at every stop along the way.

🦋 What makes the relay work:

- Milkw**d is the only plant monarch caterpillars can eat — no milkw**d at any stage of the relay means that generation fails and the chain breaks
- Plant native milkw**d species, not tropical milkw**d — tropical varieties don't die back in winter and can harbor parasites that build up in resident populations
- Common milkw**d, swamp milkw**d, and butterfly w**d are the best options for most of the US
- Even a few plants in a container on a porch gives a passing female a place to lay eggs

The first generation arrives in the southern US this month. They're looking for milkw**d. Everything that follows depends on finding it 🌿

What is Farmstand on Fishmarket.
A place where you can get to know the farmer thats growing your food.

A Place that Re-defines "Fresh"

A Place to bring your family so they can see where food comes from, where we honor and nurture local ecology.

We grow plants and vegetables without herbicides or pesticides, but more than that we grow plants that endeavor to move the dial on healing and nourishment.

Our goal is to connect, educate, heal, strengthen, energize and slow down the clock on ageing.

Oh...and don't forget to meet rocky the frisbee dog.....
