YAYYYYY

The wheel keeps turning. 🌾🍂

The long days are beginning to soften, the fields are ripening, and little signs of the coming harvest are appearing all around us.

As we move toward the harvest season, we’re also drawing closer to HarvestFest 2026 — a time to gather in community, reconnect with the land, share knowledge and stories, make a little magick, and celebrate the turning of the year together.

If HarvestFest is part of your autumn tradition, you know the feeling. If you’ve never joined us before, perhaps this is your year.

Save the dates:
🍂 October 9–12, 2026
🌿 Sparrow Lake Camp

The wheel is turning. We’ll meet you at the harvest.
