"Paint Us Bugs & Butterflies" Plus More

Dear friends,

We are calling for children’s drawings and paintings of insects to convert into wheat paste posters and paste on our caboose at the farm.

Join us in the celebration of insects and bring awareness to the need to respect all insects and their role in our ecosystem.
