Meet Our Gainesville Suppliers
Swallowtail
Alachua, FL
Swallowtail Farm is located in southeast Gainesville, in historic Rochelle. The land is nestled under a mossy canopy of ancient live oaks, and buffered on all sides by pasture, prairie and wetlands. There is rich history to the land and homestead alike, and the farm is graced by grazed soils and bountiful native flora and fauna. They are crafting the farm as a model of sustainability and fine land stewardship, with a focus on appropriate scale, conservation of resources, and nature-produced fertility. They practice non-tillage, and draw on biodynamics, permaculture, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and more, for method. No synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals will ever touch our fields or your food.
