15 years as a family butterfly sanctuary — say hi to Sarah & Susannah!
"The Butterfly Haven started as a dream for us about 15 years ago... We are a family owned and operated business. We raised our four children here and our two daughters are still an integral part of our business."
Randy and Karen bring over 31 years of greenhouse experience — originally growing tomatoes and herbs — to create one of Idaho's most unique natural attractions. Our passion for pollinator conservation and pesticide awareness drives everything we do.
