Evergreen Wings is our family’s commitment to restoring native habitat one season at a time. We are transforming Evergreen Pasture into a welcoming refuge for monarch butterflies, bees, birds, and other wildlife by planting native species, improving habitat, participating in conservation programs, and sharing our journey with others. We believe every milkweed planted, every flower that blooms, and every butterfly that visits is a step toward a healthier Oklahoma.
75+ native varieties (and counting!) on this rural property, welcoming butterflies, bees, toads and even snakes!
Each spring and winter we ensure several acres of our fields are a habitat for our local bee population and the monarchs that migrate through. We ride horses through these beautiful fields and if you’re lucky a butterfly may hitch a ride.
Small patch approximately 100sq ft, next to the house. A large section on north end of property exceeding 5,000 sq. ft. Plans to add to the exciting plants by adding an abundance of pollinator friendly plants, hopefully create a monarch way station.
We manage our farm which grows tons of native milkweed & wildflowers in our 34 acres of mixed grass prairie pasture to time our hay harvests not cutting too early or too late to make sure the milkweed becomes available at the correct times of year, especially in the mid to late summer so there is a good amount for the returning trip. Never, ever spray anything ever at our farm. Also concentrate on wildflowers & our 3 rescue pot belly pigs maintain an acre of wildflowers which they root & cultivate every year resulting in an amazing area of wildflowers which are always heavily visited by monarchs especially in the fall. I would so love to share photos of their work & our farm.
In a pasture on our property ( no livestock) we have dedicated a large portion in dedication to our late son.
This area has great sun and water supply.
It is visible to public to see our efforts in helping the Monarchs in Enid, OK.
We purchased pollination seed as well as a large amount of actual seeds from a friends garden.
Pollinator habitats broadcast throughout the farm.
Pollinator-friendly wildflowers at Oleo Acres Farm.
60 acers of pasture that has natural habitats of pollinator plants throughout the property
Converting a 54-acre heritage family farm in Eastern Johnston County into a wildlife conservatory and organic vineyard, both of which preclude the use of herbicides and pesticides. Since 2014, we have broadcast milkweed seeds and propagated natural flowering plants while reforesting much of the land in hardwoods. We usually see our first monarch patrons in mid-March and their returning heirs leave around Thanksgiving.
