Good Sunday RAISErs,

Monarch Butterfly LIFE Update 🧐

During the past few years, we’ve had to change shipping partners multiple times because of too-slow processing and shipping methods…thank you for your patience!

The good news is that we start 2025 without those shipping issues, utilizing the amazon network for fulfillment for the past year, with much faster shipping times for our customers.

This season, however, will bring changes in other ways…

We are pivoting our business to provide more digital products (this will FINALLY be the year of the Raise the Migration Course, and I’m currently working on a new milkweed guide that will be available before spring.)

As for physical products, we will be sunsetting the shopify store, but we will still have raising butterflies supplies available through (at least) this spring.

We will probably not restock sold out products but will consider doing this if/when it makes sense. If we do restock anything, I will be sure to post updates in this newsletter…

If you're interested in raising butterflies and want to stock up before more items sell out, you can check out to see what’s available here:
