Fred’s Butterfly Field @ Green Way
Fred Weber has been working on the field at Green Way for ages, planting native plants that attract butterflies and waging a lonely war against Mile-a-Minute and Porcelainberry. (Thanks, Fred!)

I love Fred's Celery Farm cap. I do not think he's willing to sell it.
