After so many requests for another butterfly release this summer, we’re doing it again—but this time, we’re pairing it with one of our favorite days of giving back: Teachers Pick Free!

Join us on Saturday, August 2nd at Big Hart Farm for a joyful day of blooms, butterflies, and back-to-school celebration—a sweet way to end summer and say thank you to the teachers who make our communities thrive.

🌟 What to Expect:

🍎 Teachers Pick Free!
All educators with valid school ID can pick a free $20 FarmCup filled with 20-25 flowers from our fields as a heartfelt thank-you.

🦋 Two Ways to Experience the Butterflies:

• ✨ Mass Butterfly Release at 11:30 AM - Free to Watch - Gather in the field for a magical shared moment as hundreds of butterflies are released together.
• 💫 Individual Butterfly Releases - $5 Each - Want your own butterfly to release into the flowers? We’ll have 100 available—first come, first served.
