Thumbs up Monarch farmers 4th generation

I am open for discussion with anyone raising fourth-generation monarchs for the trip to Mexico and offering support, after several stressful expensive days searching for milkweed and hand transferring caterpillars. The good news is we had an explosive hatch here in the villages area.

The bad news is there is virtually no milkweed to be found. I do have one source for it and an alternative food source suggested by the villages butterfly club for anyone who's interested..please post.
