About Us

Mason, Michigan
We run a small family farm just outside of lansing, michigan. We produce sustainably grown, u-pick fall raspberries, as well as free range eggs (mostly on regular weekly sales)and on ocassion other produce.

The Farmstead


Swallowtail Farm is located on a nearly 150 year old farmstead. Our research indicates that the house was here for the 1859 census and owned by J. G. Ryder a farmer. Judging by its Italianate style which became popular in the late 1850's it was probably built around 1858-1859.

We are happy to serve as stewards of this historical farmstead. We are also slowly working on updating the interior-- restoring features such as the original 11' ceilings and the heart pine floors that were under many layers of linolium and carpet.
