Eggs and more eggs. Most given away to kin, neighbors, and our local food bank. In the background you can see some “witch’s brew” cooking. A blessed full moon in Aquarius, Witches! Earlier, Jupiter and the sun were conjunct giving rise to lots of expansion towards confidence. May this energy help you wherever you need.
Before the moon and Saturn sextile this morning, I’m dropping by quickly between harvesting crops and the never-ending deconstruction of my emotional-support mulch pile, to share with you some of the things that happen with your support of this Patreon.
So far today there’s been harvests that will feed the residents of the cottage here as well as our neighbors and local food bank. It’s wonderful to know that there’s no glass in the bread we bake here (something we’re trying to scale up to donate as well), no e-coli in the greens, and salmonella-free eggs – because they are literally fresher than you can buy anywhere. Our desire to make this type of food security available to more people is what brought us back to this community with an even more clearer focus.
We* will be dropping off Swiss chard, eggs, and carrots this week to our local food bank. Eggs have been a pretty standard donation for the food bank, for which they are so hungry for more. So far in 2026, we’ve donated 97 dozen eggs to neighboring food-insecure communities in our county. Clients of the food bank contend that it’s their “favorite part of their food box” they receive. It warms my dark, rebellious heart to hear that. Being able to do that is paid for by my ability to tend the Land, and earn income from my creativity – read: writing, editing, and esoteric pursuits. So give yourself a pat on the back for sending energy that is multiplied and shared.
Allow me to do the same: Thank you for your support. Your generous help in funding our permaculture farming. Because of you, we’re able to grow with care, using practices that build healthy soil, and resilient ecosystems, which will nourish the Land for generations to come. Your contributions also make it possible for us to donate fresh, seasonal food to the community by sharing the harvest with neighbors who need it most. With every garden bed we create #OnTheCovenstead, a little bit of your positive energy is there. We’re turning your support into real sustainable abundance. We truly are grateful for the impact you’re making.
If you believe in building healthy land and stronger communities, please help us spread the word. Share our mission with friends, family, and other Witches who care about sustainability, food justice, and creating magic in partnership with Mama Earth. If you’re ready to take the next step, consider taking the leap from free to paid membership: your support helps sustain the permaculture food forest we’re building, expand our donation programs, and make sure more neighbors are receiving fresh, wholesome food.
We have some new projects we’ll be sharing with you soon and it’s next-level Land-connection magic. I can’t wait to share it with you. In the meantime, here’s a few pictures over the last week of the Land tending you’re supporting. Thank you again. Blessed be, Witches.
Do good; Be magic!
