This field day will provide training to farmers to learn how to grow native plants for sale and help conservation projects to support rare specialist butterflies. Learn how the Michigan Wildflower Farm operates today as a seed production farm while maintaining all the benefits of native plants.
This event is open to Michigan farmers who actively have a farming-based income looking to learn more about producing native seeds for sale.
Participants are encouraged to join our other Native Pollinator Habitat field days which will be posted on our events page.
Learn more about pollinator planting on our planting for pollinators webpage.
