Milkweed Monarchy is located in central Pennsylvania on an eight-acre farm plot. The business was started 2010 by selling milkweed pods on ebay. As a result of a bee-keeping project by our son, we were made aware of the decline of pollinators including the honey bee and butterflies. Around this time we also met David Folk of Folk Butterfly Farm and honey bee expert, Craig Cella. Fortunately, our farm had naturally-occuring milkweed. Selective mowing was all that was necessary to establish a 4 acre milkweed plot. Our expanding milkweed seed business helped us decide to create our web site to raise more awareness. We offer two retail locations as well as our ebay listing: Chatham Run Feed Mill and Bason Coffee Roasting. We have an ongoing outreach to local educational groups through student education and are also offering fundraising opportunities to schools and clubs as well. We will be seeking support for a future crowd funding project to enable additional expansion.
