your event or, if we are unable to find an alternate date,
we will gladly reimburse your payment.

Butler's
is an Integrated
Pest Management Farm. We have a professional scout who is with
us weekly to check our crops for insects and disease pressures.
This allows us to reduce our applications and move toward more sustainable
production systems.
