Improve Your Health and Happiness by Living in Harmony with Nature and Returning to a Simpler Way of Living.

The Butterfly Hill was born of a desire to recreate myself. Early in the pandemic on my actual birthday, a package arrived. It was a Butterfly larvae kit from my sister. We grew up in Monterey California, and in our back yard was the eucalyptus trees that the Monarch Butterflies live in. This gift would set me on a new and exciting path. I had lost my job and wanted to use this time to be productive. So, I set about studying online. The very first thing I noticed was all the distracting ads! Things would move all over the place and I could barely keep track of where I was. I wanted to do something different…..

I started asking my Mom and all my Aunts and Uncles about their time on the farms of our families. I was very lucky as a child to have both of my Grandmothers close. Both had farms. One a small family farm, the other a commercial ranch with chickens and walnuts as well as rotating crops in 3 fields. Everyone in my family was a maker. If we wanted something we made it. Both ranch houses were built by our families. Farm life is busy, there was always something going on. Snappin green beans, cracking walnuts or picking the fruits and veggies to can and preserve them.

I suddenly felt a need to record, protect, and teach all the lessons of our grandmother’s generations for future generations. So here we are…
