If HarvestFest is in your autumn plans, we’d love a little wave from the hedge. 🌿🍂

Registering ahead simply helps us know how many folk to expect, how much food to prepare, and how many places to set when the village gathers.

You don’t need to have every detail sorted yet. Save your seat now, and payment can be made onsite if that works better for you.

Think of registration as a small signal that says, “Yes, save me a place. I’m coming.”

It helps the humans plan, gives the kitchen a better sense of the feast ahead, and lets the woodland spirits know to leave room at the table.

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:

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