Earlier, Jupiter and the sun were conjunct giving rise to lots of expansion towards confidence. May this energy help you wherever you need.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before the moon and Saturn sextile this morning, I&#8217;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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So far today there\u2019s been harvests that will feed the residents of the cottage here as well as our neighbors and local food bank. It\u2019s wonderful to know that there\u2019s no glass in the bread we bake here (something we\u2019re trying to scale up to donate as well), no e-coli in the greens, and salmonella-free eggs \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019ve donated 97 dozen eggs to neighboring food-insecure communities in our county. Clients of the food bank contend that it\u2019s their \u201cfavorite part of their food box\u201d 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 \u2013 read: writing, editing, and esoteric pursuits. So give yourself a pat on the back for sending energy that is multiplied and shared.<\/p>\n<p>Allow me to do the same: Thank you for your support. Your generous help in funding our permaculture farming. Because of you, we\u2019re 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\u2019re turning your support into real sustainable abundance. We truly are grateful for the impact you\u2019re making.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019re ready to take the next step, consider taking the leap from free to paid membership: your support helps sustain the permaculture food forest we\u2019re building, expand our donation programs, and make sure more neighbors are receiving fresh, wholesome food.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We have some new projects we&#8217;ll be sharing with you soon and it&#8217;s next-level Land-connection magic.  I can&#8217;t wait to share it with you. In the meantime, here\u2019s a few pictures over the last week of the Land tending you\u2019re supporting. Thank you again. Blessed be, Witches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Do good; Be magic!<\/p>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dozens of carrots freshly harvested sitting on a cutting board.\" src=\"https:\/\/c10.patreonusercontent.com\/4\/patreon-media\/p\/post\/165185261\/52c66aa3d6d8467296c242bbde7a8b90\/eyJhIjoxLCJ3Ijo4MjB9\/1.jpg?token-hash=LXCrwlPSjG89Zq-MrVg2zVHEJgZBiSHjGvQF5SkzofU%3D&amp;token-time=1795824000\" \/>A sample of the carrot harvest being prepped into bunches for donation<\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A very large double pink hollyhock in a garden by a birch tree\" src=\"https:\/\/c10.patreonusercontent.com\/4\/patreon-media\/p\/post\/165185261\/74ee80b565db405992185171a004a1f2\/eyJhIjoxLCJ3Ijo4MjB9\/1.jpg?token-hash=W2tKe9uxwOfJu8y0XUP2LNLGPpLfRSzhIxlxXrdO_FQ%3D&amp;token-time=1795824000\" \/>Not just food, but also flowers.
