Wish Upon A Butterfly

09/08/2026

What do we do with all the butterflies after the fair?! It is one of the most frequently asked questions we get!
Here's your answer! We take them back to our farm and release them into our flower field! They have thousands of blooms to flutter around and enjoy!

We currently have about 800 live butterflies in the Feed the Butterfly exhibit at the Canfield Fair ! While we provide the special nectar juice to feed the butterflies, we can't guarantee they won't try to sneak a taste of your other fair goodies!

Visit us and feed the butterflies! We are on Greene Drive, across from the Veterans memorial ( #62) on the fair map/flyer!
