Other fruit crops grown on the farm include figs, bananas, peaches, pecans and black walnuts.
Swallowtail Farm
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. We have brought our small dairy herd of Jerseys, our flock of laying hens, heritage breed pigs, and our own growing little family to help caretake the land. We believe that we are only visitors here, and are caretaking the land for the living earth.
