DIXON ACRES is a monarch waystation

This means that Dixon Acres is now part of a vital network dedicated to supporting the incredible monarch butterflies on their awe-inspiring journey. 🦋🌼 #MonarchWaystation49620

Did you know that these remarkable butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles each year, traveling between their breeding grounds in North America and their winter homes in Mexico? Unfortunately, habitat loss is making this journey increasingly difficult. That’s why Waystations like ours are essential—they provide the milkweed and nectar sources that monarchs need to thrive!

At Dixon Acres, we are committed to preserving these iconic pollinators by creating a safe haven filled with native plants, milkweed, and vibrant flowers. Our farm serves as a welcoming stop for monarchs to rest and refuel during their migration. 🌸💚

Remember, monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed—the only plant that monarch caterpillars will eat. Without milkweed, there can be no monarch migration. So, why is this important? At Dixon Acres, we believe in the significance of pollinators and want to spread awareness about their crucial role. Pollinators are responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food we eat and play a vital part in sustaining our natural ecosystems. While monarchs may not be the most efficient pollinators, they are considered a flagship species, inspiring conservation efforts across various communities.

By creating habitats for monarchs, we also support many other important pollinator species, providing them with the nectar and host plants they need. Together, we can ensure that monarchs and other pollinators continue to grace our skies for generations to come! 🌍💫

Join us in celebrating this milestone and spreading the word about the importance of pollinator conservation!
