Our first Rabble Rally was a small gathering hosted by Jodi Hopper at Wish Upon a Butterfly.  A small group of breeders met in the on site gift and flower shop and enjoyed a day of round table discussion in front of a cozy fire. Jodi gave a tour of her farm operation, which includes an attached greenhouse, aeroponic system for growing plants during the colder months, and several in house rearing areas for various species.  It was a great learning venue, and the participants discussed the pros and cons of various methods and were able to ask questions related to her breeding operation.

The gathering was such a success, that several attendees visited other farm locations within a days’ drive. Word got out about the practical tips that were being shared and discussed and the Rabble Rally was requested as an annual event.
