You Can Farm Butterflies? Inside a Working Oklahoma Butterfly Farm

Host Casey Hentges visits the Euchee Butterfly Farm in Leonard, Oklahoma—a unique, USDA-regulated working agricultural operation. Owner and operator Jane Breckenridge takes us through the process of raising native butterflies as livestock, detailing the intense caloric needs of caterpillars, the use of nutrient-dense milkweed microgreens, and how these beautiful insects serve as powerful advocates for conservation.
