Anyone have naturally growing plants that Monarch butterflies feed on during migration? I have milkweed on my place.

That's what they do to my milk weed!!
I've got a few varieties of milkweed; I've been encouraging it to take over my almost acre yard. New England Aster is popular with the bees, too.

I have at least five species of native Milkweed in my gardens and in my "ditch".
I also have Liatris lingulistylis, or Meadow Blazing Star and Mexican Sunflowers for the southern trip.
Zinnias and Cosmos work too.
For Swallowtails, parsley, Fennell and dill

That's a bunch!
@farmboy2017 They are all wildflowers here. I have a hard time keeping the neighbors from weedwhacking them, especially the thistles.
I had some milkweed but need to restart some
