Big Jewelry Drop this Saturday at the Old Town Farm & Art Market ! Tons of amazing Kansas-native swallowtails that won’t be available again for a while. Get them while you can!

Also — my July sabbatical is officially over! I’ll be at the market every other week of August and — if all goes as planned — every weekend until the end of the season.

Black swallowtails are finally having a good year. Finally!
