Discovering Nature, Saddles and Solitude in an Old Abandoned Tennessee Farm
Butterfly Hollow Farm
How the Farm Got Its Name
   Just Who Are These Butterflies
 
 
The two kinds of flutter-bys that make up these large colonies are Hackberry and Tawny Emperor Butterflies. This flux of butterflies only lasts for about two weeks and then they slowly fade to comfortable numbers as well as become more diverse among other types that come here each year for all the hillside wildflowers.


Each season we look forward to seeing our fluttering friends. So far they have been like clockwork and start arriving sometime around the last week in May. They do add so much, color, conversation and character to our place. Eventually you kinda get used to having at least ten on you at all times leaving butterfly kisses on your arms and neck.
