What are Berry Harvester?

A berry harvester is a specialized agricultural machine used to efficiently gather berries from plants. It can be self-propelled or towed and utilizes mechanisms such as vibration, suction, and mechanical brushes to gently remove and collect berries while minimizing harm to both the fruit and the plant. Essential for large-scale berry farming, these machines reduce labor costs and harvesting time compared to manual picking, making the process faster and more cost-effective for crops like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.

Lughnasadh Masterpost - Spoonie Witch Friendly

Lughnasadh, this holiday typically lands on August 1st in the Northern Hemisphere (February 1st in the Southern Hemisphere). 

Lughnasadh celebrates the arrival of the late summer season and the abundance of the first harvest.

Usually it a harvest of grain and corn, but in other areas it’s a fruit and vegetables for harvest. You’ll see the days begin to shorten from here.

This is a holiday that is more easy to feel disconnect from as most aren’t out there Stardew Valley style on their grandfathers farm. We either have a small garden of our own or everything is store bought. Or those who are gluten intolerant they also may find it harder to connect.

Celebrating and honoring the harvest is important. Even if we are not personally gardening we are offering thanks for natures prosperity in keeping us fed and healthy with each bountiful harvest.

But after this correspondence list I will give you a list of ideas of how everyone can celebrate.

ETIOSI CUISINE

OVERVIEW

Etios Nation is a Great Kingdom founded by gaians, for gaians. Only minotaurs, centaurs, satyrs, fauns, and gorgons are permitted to own land here, and so these species make up the vast majority of its population. Etios’ territory encompasses hot, dry plains and cold mountains, supporting a wide variety of crops to farm and animals to hunt. The Etiosi people live a stone age lifestyle out of respect for the environment, which keeps their food pure and free of toxic chemicals.

NUT BREAD

This simple but delicious bread recipe originated with an ancient tribe of fauns called the Alses-Kwaa. This native tribe shared the recipe with Matuzan colonists who founded Etios Nation, and today it has spread far and wide into foreign lands. This dense, filling bread is overloaded with nuts and seeds, primarily pine nuts, chestnuts, and almonds. Chunks of dried fruit, such as figs, are also a common ingredient. It takes a long time for nut bread to spoil, so it’s an essential snack for travelers in Etios Nation. Just one small piece provides a lot of fat, carbs, and calories.

YIYAGURT

This controversial yogurt is made from the breast milk of minotaurs. While most foreigners turn their nose up at such a dish, it is considered a normal staple for the Etiosi, especially in minotaur communities. Yiyagurt is higher in calories than other yogurt and is traditionally eaten with flax seeds. It is loaded with beneficial bacteria that is said to heal conditions of the bowel. In Etiosi culture, it’s considered taboo for males to make this yogurt. Etiosi women will not even teach their sons how to make it, only their daughters and female relatives. Eating yiyagurt made by a male is said to bring illness upon the consumer.

GRILLED HOGAWK

Pig-hawks (colloquially known as “hogawks” to the Etiosi) are one of the most common ranch animals in Etios Nation. They are large, flightless birds with sharp talons and teeth, and while they can be quite dangerous, they also produce large yields of meat and eggs. They are usually ranched by heavyweight peoples like minotaurs and centaurs, who can shrug off their attacks. This bird’s meat is prepared in numerous ways, but the traditional Etiosi way is grilled and sprinkled with seasonings, particularly tomato flakes.

GRASS

Minotaurs are the only gaians that can digest grass properly, thanks to their multi-chambered stomachs. Grass is a popular staple food for minotaurs worldwide, but in Etios Nation, it’s more than a food: it’s a whole culture. There is a world of snobbery that revolves around grass here, as Etiosi minotaurs argue about what kind of grass is best, what stage it should be harvested, and whether it should be eaten raw or cooked. Some grass-snobs will even argue about the composition of the soil it is grown in and how much it should be watered to produce the best taste. Most non-minotaurs just can’t understand all this fuss around a plant they only walk on.

SATYR WINE

Etios Nation is home to unique nature preserves, where satyrs are free to live their traditional, nomadic lifestyles in the wilderness. These satyrs produce a traditional type of wine simply known as “satyr wine”, and its recipe varies depending on the individual satyr who makes it. Most commonly, it is made from berries that were foraged from the wild. Female satyrs rarely make this wine themselves, but instead receive it as a gift from males who are trying to seduce them. A lot of this wine is exchanged at satyr revels; big parties where satyrs and nymphs congregate for days on end. Oftentimes satyrs will produce too much wine and sell the excess to Etiosi colonists. A steady flow of satyr wine pours from Etios’s nature preserves on a daily basis, so it can be found at most markets throughout the nation.

LAMSAKA

This dish is made by layering a sheet of scrambled hogawk eggs and cheese over minced mutton and tomatoes. This is a favorite dinnertime dish of all Etiosi peoples, but especially centaurs and minotaurs. It is fatty and filling, with a taste so good it’s hard not to overindulge. When foreigners think of Etiosi cuisine, the first thing that usually comes to mind is Lamsaka. It’s actually an ancient Matuzan dish from the Olive Plains region, but when this region was colonized by Etios Nation, lamsaka saw a boost in popularity and became associated with the colonizers.

BEAN SOUP

A dish most popular with Etiosi fauns. It is a creamy soup served in a gourdskin bowl, loaded with beans, tomatoes, corn, and chunks of squash. Etiosi bean soup sends most consumers running to the bathroom due to its very high fiber content, but faun bellies are well-suited to handle it. In fact, fauns can become fatally ill if they don’t consume enough fiber, so many fauns eat this soup as an everyday staple to keep themselves healthy. When eaten in small portions, it is a healthy choice for other peoples too. Traditional bean soup is vegetarian, as fauns don’t digest meat very well. But when prepared by other peoples, it usually contains mutton or poultry.

YIYATSI

Yiyatsi translates to “breast drink” in Kwaanese, the ancient language of the Alses-Kwaa tribe. A fitting name, for this drink quite literally comes from the breasts of female minotaurs. Yiyatsi is consumed worldwide, but is most common in Etios Nation simply due to the sheer concentration of minotaurs living there. Female minotaurs are well known for over-producing milk. They lactate for years after giving birth, produce more than a single child could ever drink, and this milk is well-tolerated by all other peoples. Because of this, it is often bottled and sold to hospitals, orphanages, and even grocers. Most peoples wouldn’t dream of consuming such a thing, but Etiosi culture embraces yiyatsi as a traditional beverage for all. It is dense in fat, nutrients, and calories, so it’s a popular drink for soldiers, athletes, and anyone looking to bulk up their muscles.

HONEY POCKET

These delicious cookies originated from the Pronga faun tribes of the Midland Jungle. However, many Pronga migrated south during the Gaian Exodus, an event which formed Etios Nation. Their ancient honey pocket recipe survived the migration and became a popular dessert for all Etiosi peoples. Honey pockets are soft, sugary cookies filled with honey and sometimes also fruit. They are traditionally served warm. This big shot of sugar is best enjoyed in moderation, as eating too many can lead to tooth decay and diabetes. Since casting spells burns calories, mages are especially fond of them. They are also a good travel snack that won’t spoil for a long time.

FISH WRAP

Raw fish is eaten mostly by Etiosi’s Aquarian population, but sometimes Terrian peoples eat it too. Terrians are at greater risk of foodborne illness from uncooked seafood, while Aquarians have the guts to resist these illnesses. The fish wrap is a dish that originated with sirenes living along Etios Nation’s coastlines. It is raw fish strapped to a piece of tofu with seaweed. Alternatively, the fish may be strapped to a pickle spear or some other vegetable. While the raw version remains most popular with Aquarians, Terrians tend to prefer this dish cooked.

Poké-OCs: Chrys Anthem!

Chrys is the mc I’ve created for Scarlet! The cutiest patootie, isn’t he? In Japanese, his name would be Kikuo (キクオ)

Age: 14 (Scarlet/Violet)

Hometown: Montenevera, Paldea → Wyndon, Galar → Cabo Poco, Paldea

Trainer Class(es): Naranja Student, Paldea Champion, (Honorary) Blueberry Champion

Chrys’s grandmother is none other than the MC of RIP, Ryme! That makes Tyme is great aunt, or as he likes to call her, “Grantia!”

His father, thus Ryme’s son (at least one of lmao), is Pomelo Anthem— a famous actor for films and TV! Pomelo tends to star in a lot of action-packed roles fitting his naturally charismatic personality. He’s often quite the busy combee, but he always does his best to make time for his beloved family.

Chrys’s mother is named Asoka! She’s from Galar and has the biggest green thumb! Berries, veggies, herbs— you name it, she can cultivate it! Usually sells her produce at farmer’s markets, though sometimes she’ll be commissioned (would that be the right term??) to grow/harvest specific items for more private use (such as rare berries).

Chrys himself is a very friendly and sociable boy, who finds it easy to talk with just about anyone and loves to make new friends! Even if he wasn’t related to celebrities, he would be incredibly popular, lmao.

Chrys was born in Paldea (Montenevera specifically), but moved to Galar (Wyndon) when he was about 6. Pomelo was hired for a smash-hit TV series that was filmed there, and Asoka wanted to spend some time back in her home region. The Anthems ended up becoming good friends with Peony and his wife (I named her Daphne and have some thoughts on her I hope to share soon), and thus Chrys became befriended with Peonia (or Nia as I usually call her for more distinction) and Penny! Since Penny and Chrys are closer in age, they were often in classes together for most of elementary and middle school, as well as Trainer’s school. They have an incredibly close, sibling-like bond— Chrys is one of the few people that can encourage Penny to come out of her shell without sheer force or an Eevee-related incentive.

Chrys would often tell Penny about his dreams of going to the same school his dad attended back in the day: Naranja Academy! Penny was so fascinated by Chrys and Pomelo’s stories of the academy, she eventually wanted to go to Naranja with Chrys too! They were planning to enroll together at the eame time… but Pomelo wouldn’t be able to move back to Paldea until his tv series fully wrapped up. So, 12 year old Penny wanted to try Naranja out for herself to gain more independence… but we all know how that went. After the Team Star incident, Penny came back to Galar and ended up telling her family and Chrys everything that happened. While they were all understanding and never mad at her or anything, Penny always placed a lot of guilt on herself.

When Chrys and Penny became 14, Pomelo’s show finally wrapped up, allowing him and his family to move back to Paldea! Since Penny’s retreat was wrapping up as well, the two decided to take the plunge and follow on their promise to go to Naranja together. So this deters a bit from canon where Penny just... hacks the player's phone as Cassiopeia and all that. Instead it's more like Penny lets Chrys in on her Starfall plan from the get-go since she knows Chrys is great at battling, and Chrys goes along with the plan (even though he keeps insisting Penny should just come forward and tell Team Star everything herself).

Chrys also meets Nemona and Arven and joins in on their story routes from the game too! I'm debating on if Penny might have stayed at Chrys's house in Cabo Poco the night before they started school, so Nemona (and Arven?) might meet her a little earlier? But regardless, Nemona is immediately ecstatic about Chrys being such a good trainer. Chrys was already planning on trying out the gym league, so having a new big sister friend cheering him on is all good!

Chrys meets Arven and Koraidon the same way the players do in the games! Here's a little dialogue thing I've written up when Arven asks for his help with the Herba Mystica.

Arven: Oh, hey! So we meet again. You remember me, right?  Chrys: Yeah, I do, from the lighthouse! I don’t think I ever got your name though.  Arven: Oh, did I forget that? Well, the name’s Arven.  Chrys: Nice to meet you, Arven! I’m Chrys.  Arven: So I’ve heard! You show up with the Student Council President, and you’re the great nephew of Ms. Tyme— not to mention your grandmother and dad are also pretty famous. The whole school’s been talking about you nonstop.  Chrys: All good things, I hope.  Arven: Nah, don’t worry. You’re basically Mister Popular from the jump. Actually, I’m glad I can talk to you more one-on-one. Normally I don’t show up super often for class, but… well. Since you know about you-know-who, and you’re already really strong… I wanna ask a favor Chrys: Favor? Arven: You’ve gotta help me out so I can finally make my dream a reality! Chrys: … What dream? Arven: Caught your interest, have I? Well, this might come as a surprise, but I’m all about that picnic life: the great outdoors, the perfectly prepared sandwiches, all of it! Chrys: Really? Judging from the massive backpack you got… I never would’ve guessed.  Arven: You wouldn’t? Chrys: That was sarcasm  Arven: Oh. Right.  Chrys: But anyways, that sounds fun! Do you like cooking and hiking and all that too? Arven: You bet I do! I’m not half bad at cooking either, if I do say so myself. Right now I’m researching new recipes that’ll help pokemon feel better. Real health food, see. Chrys: Isn’t that almost all food, though? It all helps pokemon regain energy and recover from status conditions in one way or another.  Arven: I mean yeah but… I’m looking for something a little more specific. I found this book the other day, and it has a whole section about something called Herba Mystica. Basically, they’re special herbs that come in five different types, and supposedly just one lick of them as powder can get blood flowing, provide nutrients, prevent aging— it’ll even boost the immune system! They seem like the real deal. Only found in Paldea, and rare to boot!  Chrys: Oooooo! Then you want a foraging buddy to help you look for them?  Arven: Well… not just that. The book says the herbs are all guarded by Titan pokemon, meaning it’ll be pretty tough to grab even a few sprigs. Because well… look at ‘em. Chrys: Oh wow.  Arven: Yeah. I really want to get my hands on some of those herbs, but… I’m not very good at pokemon battles, as you saw this morning. I don’t really know anyone close enough with strong pokemon to lend me a hand, either. I do not want to crawl to the student council girl because I’d never hear the end of it. But here you’ve waltzed in, and you’d be perfect for it!  Chrys: I mean… truth be told, I am pretty curious about this Herba Mystica stuff. It might be cool to even try and collect some for my mom to try and cultivate!  Arven: Your mom’s a gardener? Chrys: Yep, she loves figuring out what different plants need to thrive properly. Arven: So… you’re willing to help me?  Chrys: Yeah, I don’t mind! Plus, you’re Koraidon’s… trainer? Owner? Technically? Arven: Eeeeh, I wouldn’t say that. We have some… history, though. I don’t want to get into all of it.  Chrys: Sure, I get it. No pressure. 

I'm still playing through/wrapping up Scarlet, and some stuff like Chrys's trip to Kitakami will probably be it's own separate lil posts, but!! I'll include various notes on the blorbo

Has a tendency to pick up every little item he sees, follow rivers to their source, and generally take his time exploring all the little nooks and crannies he comes across!

Loves to take cute pictures of himself and pokemon he finds on his travels (even if he doesn’t catch them)... Photography becoming his main hobby/passion would actually work really well jk unless 

… Kalim Al Asim and Yuji Itadori kinnie /neg /hj - Doesn’t really have his own identity outside of his family or what he can do. Like he knows who he is as an individual and stuff, but doesn’t really think that’s enough? As much as he knows his family loves and supports him in whatever he decides to do, he doesn’t really know for himself at all. He likes training and looking after pokemon, creative pursuits (art, music, photography), and homemaking skills like gardening and cooking— but he’s not sure what he wants to do with those skills other than use them to express himself/help others.

Has no idea what to do about being this “chosen one” (Legendaries flock to him for whatever reason lmao) 

He tends to bottle up his negative emotions (especially if something really shakes him up) because he doesn’t like causing other people to worry about him. 

Terrified of the Paradox Pokemon… Koraidon is like the only one he likes. 

Sees Arven and Nemona as older sibling-type of friends! They fight over that custody a lot though 

Chrys and Kieran will be boyfriends… eventually (They gotta get through the divorce arc first /hj). Their main ship name is PinkUpdoShipping (because I have the cute idea Kieran ties his hair up as BB Champion partially inspired by Chrys usually having his hair in a short ponytail too). Another alt name is AppleOrangeShipping (Since Kieran is associated with apples, and I associate Chrys with oranges quite a bit)

Here are the pokemon Chrys has in rotation as well (at least so far!)

Mew 

Elton - Fuecoco → Skeledirge

Soufflé - Wooper (Paldean) → Clodsire

Harvest Day/Day of Grapes and Grains

The Day of Grapes and Grains, also known as the Harvest Festival, celebrates the beginning of the harvest season in Sol Fertilis. 

Farmers prepare their best produce for the festival in the morning. They arrange baskets and crates filled with freshly harvested fruits, vegetables, and grains, which are often displayed at local markets or designated areas in the town square. In both Neo-Pagan and Catholic counties, Beta Neutral farmers play a role in the religious or spiritual aspects of the day. They bring offerings from their harvest, such as wheat sheaves, fruits, and vegetables, to place on altars or in front of churches. On this day, alewives play a significant role in the celebrations by giving away wine to all ranks in churches. 

Festival shows include theatrical performances by local theater groups that celebrate the harvest and local legends, as well as concerts featuring traditional and contemporary music. Barbecues and picnics are common, with families enjoying grilled meats, fresh salads, and homemade desserts. Larger community picnics are organized in parks, with communal tables and shared dishes. Traditional folk dances, circle dances, and line dances are performed, inviting everyone to join in. Evening dance parties with live music take place in public squares and parks, extending the celebrations into the night.

Religious and spiritual observances play a significant role in the Harvest Festival. Churches hold special services to bless the harvest and pray for a bountiful season, with attendees bringing offerings of grains, fruits, and vegetables to place on the altar.

In Neo-Pagan communities, rituals involving the symbolic sacrifice of crops or animals are performed to honor Ceres Gaia and ensure a successful harvest. Incense is burned, and prayers are recited to give thanks for the abundance and seek protection for the coming months. The rituals involving the symbolic sacrifice of crops or animals are performed to honor the gods and ensure a successful harvest. Attendees bring offerings of grains, fruits, and vegetables to place on the altar.

Crafts and arts are an integral part of the festival. Participants engage in harvest crafts like making crowns and garlands from wheat, flowers, and grapevines to wear during the festivities. Families and communities build scarecrows to protect their crops, often holding contests for the most creative scarecrow. Art exhibitions featuring local artists' works that depict harvest themes are held in galleries and public spaces, while craft fairs offer handmade goods such as pottery, textiles, and jewelry inspired by the harvest season.

Couples engage in handfasting ceremonies, a symbolic act of unity and commitment, performed in parks or gardens. All ranks perform this but the middle ranks, which are Beta Pluses and Delta Minuses, are often seen doing this more. 

Special foods and drinks are enjoyed throughout the Harvest Festival. Traditional meals include roast meats such as lamb, pork, and chicken, served with seasonal vegetables. Grain-based dishes like various bread, pasta, and grain salads are prepared using freshly harvested ingredients. Desserts such as fruit pies made from apples, berries, and other seasonal fruits, along with honey cakes and sweet breads flavored with spices and dried fruits, are popular. Drinks include local wines and beers brewed from the harvest, and freshly pressed grape, apple, and pear juices are served, particularly to children.

Towards the end of the meal, there are final toasts. In Neo-Pagan counties, the toasts may involve traditional toasts to the gods and goddesses of harvest and fertility, such as Ceres Gaia, Venus Bellona, and Mars Sol. In Catholic counties, toasts might be directed toward the saints, or God, thanking them for the blessings of the harvest. Alewives and other key figures often lead these toasts, sharing words of gratitude and hope for the future.

Following the feast, a large bonfire is lit in a central location. This fire symbolizes the burning away of the old season's remnants and the welcoming of a new cycle. Around the bonfire, people gather to sing traditional songs, dance, and share stories. The music often includes a mix of folk tunes and contemporary favorites, played on traditional instruments like lutes, flutes, and drums, creating a lively and joyous atmosphere.

A priest may give a final blessing or prayer, asking for continued prosperity and protection over the community and its land. In Neo-Pagan traditions, this may involve a ritual offering to the gods, while in Catholic areas, it could include a collective prayer or hymn.

Lughnasadh

Lughnasadh is a traditional Celtic festival held on August 1st, halfway between the Summer Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox, that celebrates the start of the harvest season and is named after the Celtic sun god, Lugh, one of the Tuatha Dé Danann. Often portrayed as a warrior and a king, Lugh is also the god of craftsmanship, associated with skill and mastery in many disciplines, and is the divine father of Cú Chulainn, the greatest hero of Irish legend.

Harvesting of crops is an important annual event in all agricultural calendars. This was especially so in the past when harvesting, done by hand, was a race against the weather, time, and nature. When summer is at its peak and the first berries start to ripen, it’s time to harvest. Saving crops for winter was important for survival and there are many beliefs, customs, and rituals linked to the harvest time.

Ireland has its own unique old harvest customs that represent prosperity and abundance of blessings. The connection to agriculture and nature led to similar harvest traditions on all parts of the island, regardless of religion. Harvesting officially began at Lughnasadh and harvest rituals were observed in August and September.

Ancient communities marked the festival by gathering grains from the first harvest of the growing season. Wheat, barley, oats, and corn were vital for surviving the long cold winters of the Northern Hemisphere. On August 1st, grain was harvested in the dawn hours and baked into loaves of bread to be shared by the community. Modern day agricultural fairs continue some of the traditions of Lughnasadh, such as Puck Fair in Killorglin, Co. Kerry.

Lughnasadh is associated with symbols of mid and late summer including sunflowers, sheaves of grain, and harvest tools such as scythes. Associated colours are drawn largely from nature, and include bold shades of yellow, bright greens, and orange. Stones associated with Lughnasadh include citrine, peridot (the birthstone for August), carnelian, gold topaz, clear quartz, and amber. Lúnasa is the Irish word for the month of August.

Some traditions associated with Lughnasadh include:

First fruits offering: It is common for people to offer the first harvested crops to the gods as a sign of gratitude and to seek blessings for a bountiful harvest season.

Bonfires are an essential part of the festivities. People gather around the fire, often on hilltops or sacred sites, and participate in various rituals, games, and activities to mark the occasion.

Feasting: A grand feast is often prepared to celebrate the abundance of the harvest. Foods made from the freshly harvested crops, such as bread, corn, berries, and fruits, are featured in the feast.

Handfasting and weddings: Lughnasadh is considered an auspicious time for weddings and handfasting ceremonies, a temporary form of marriage that lasted a year and a day.

Crafting and art: Artisans and craftsmen often showcase their skills during Lughnasadh, displaying their handcrafted goods at fairs and markets.

Gratitude and reflection: Lughnasadh is a time for expressing gratitude for the harvest and reflecting on the cycle of life, death, and rebirth as symbolized by the crops.

During the early Middle Ages, as the influence of the Christian church spread, the ancient celebration of Lughnasadh and the first grain harvest were combined with Christianity. Early Christians took the first loaf of bread from the harvest to the local church to be blessed by a priest and referred to the festival as Lammas or “loaf mass”. It was a Lughnasadh tradition to get as close to the sun as possible to make offerings to Lugh, the Celtic sun god, so the custom of climbing hills and mountains has become a Christian pilgrimage in many areas. The best known in Ireland is the pilgrimage to the top of Croagh Patrick on the last Sunday in July, known as Reek Sunday.

Last line tag

Thanks for the tag @winterandwords!

People seem to like "Blood Magic" lately so here's the last thing I wrote for that. It's less a line and more like a couple paragraphs LMAO but I do not want to separate them. Gonna put it under a read more for mentions of child abuse/harm

I remember running wild in the village, owned by none but cared for by all, free to enter any home to pillage food, drink, company, or a pallet by the fire. I didn't have a family and wasn't made to attend lessons or learn a trade like the other children that I played with. I reveled in my freedom. I knew I was special. Chosen. The other children were wary of me but the adults doted on me, gave me the pick of harvested berries and fruits in the market, served me rich meals when I entered their homes uninvited, let me get away with misbehavior they would never tolerate from their own children. I grew up spoiled and proud. When I was seven, they bled me for the first time. That, I don't remember so well; I was shocked, despite how many times the necessity of it had been explained to me over the years, and I screamed at the pain of the cut, threw a tantrum and cried until I was sick. I was punished; shunned for days until I was weak from hunger. One of the Elders finally came to me and asked if I was ready to resume my responsibilities, and I meekly acquiesced. It became a routine part of life, and the scars on my forearms testify to how many times it happened.

( pt 4 of Adoption AU)

(Context Grian and Scar live in the country side, and own up to 10-12 acres of land)

The three headed in the backyard, (they snuck in threw the front yard) It was huge, there was a pool, a hot tub, and a pool house, as well as and outside bar and grill stand, behind it was what looked to estimated 522,720 ft of an orchard. (yes I did the math)

There were apple trees, orange trees, cherry trees, mango trees, banana trees, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, carrots, greens, potatoes, turnips, and radishes, all with their own sections. In very middle of all of it, there was looked to be a green house, a chick coop, with all sorts of breeds of chickens, and six bee farms.

“How rich are these guys” Tubbo commented.

“Very, they must sale as this in the market of every harvesting” Ranboo replied.

“So this where they get their eggs” Tomm said, heading towards the chicken coop.

(The chick coop contains two doors, a door get in a fence in outside area, and another door where the chickens are kept)

Tommy tries to open the first door, only to be disappointed that it had a lock.

“Guess they really care for their animals, so that people like Tommy can’t get in” Tubbo whispered to Ranboo.

Ranboo chuckled

Three then went over to the cherry trees section. Ranboo picked a couple of fresh cherries, and shared them with Tommy and Tubbo.

“These are delicious, they’re so juicy. They must really take good care of there crops too” Tubbo said, as he munched on the cherries.

The three went back to house, to see Grian and Scar making lunch. They seem to be making fried fish, smashed potatoes and gravy, and salad.

“How was everything” Scar asked.

“It was awesome” Tommy replied.

“Yeah and it was fun” Ranboo followed.

“Well go wash up, lunch will be ready soon” Grian said.

The three did has they were told and went to their bathroom in the guest bedroom to clean up.

When went back, their food plates were already sitting on the table. They all say next to and beside each other, as they began to eat.

“I caught these fish at the lake near by” Scar said, trying to start up a conversation.

“Well they are delicious” Ranboo responded.

“Thank you” Scar replied.

“So tell me, how did you enjoy everything, which was your favorite part of all of it” Grian asked.

“I liked the bees” Tubbo replied excitedly.

“I take it you like bees” Scar chuckled.

“I LOVE them” Tubbo responded.

“Well I liked Jellie’s cat room, Grian wasn’t kidding, when he said that you love spoil her” Ranboo said.

“GRIAN” Scar shouted out of embarrassment.

“What it’s true, you treat her like a queen. You literally got her, her own personal groomer and an animal spa ID card, not to mention that she’s on a raw meat diet and you take her to a cat cafe every Saturday, sometimes I think you bring her there more then you bring me, led alone spend more on her then on me” Grian argued jokingly.

“Well anyways, mine were the chickens, but couldn’t go in because it was locked” Tommy said.

“Oh yeah, we have all sorts of wild animals, including coyotes, that have learned to open the doors, so we had to put locks on them” Scar explained.

“I see” Tommy responded.

The rest of the lunch went on without much more conversation. But needless to say, Tubbo, Tommy, and Ranboo, all felt at home.

Ofc Tommy would like the chickens- aaah I love them all so much Scar treating Jellie like an aboslute queen as he should

Lughnasadh: The First Harvest

Lughnasadh is a pagan holiday that falls on the first of August to celebrate the beginning of the harvest season. It’s also known as Lughnasa, and Alban Heruin.

This holiday celebrates the abundance of the growing season as we look forward to the rest of the harvest. It's time to give thanks for the first fruits of the harvest, enjoy the fruits of one's labor and to celebrate the abundance of the earth. It is also a time to reflect on the past year and to look forward to the future. Be grateful for the blessings in one's life and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.

The origins of this day are Celtic. According to the lore, the Celtic God Lugh prevailed over the evil Balor, and saved crops from scorching. Lugh is a god of light, healing, and knowledge, and his victory over Balor is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better future. The crops that were saved from scorching represent the abundance and prosperity that comes with the light of the sun. We give thanks for the light of the sun and celebrate the victory of light over darkness.

Lughnasadh has been interchanged with the Christian holiday Lammas, or Loaf-mass. This holiday also celebrates the abundance of the growing season. It was customary for bread to be baked and blessed at the church. Today, it has been taken up with many neopagan religions, along with Christianity. While today the importance of the first harvest may not be as prevalent today, the idea of spiritual harvest is encouraged. This is a time of growth and renewed energy.

Lughnasadh and Lammas are often interchanged, but it’s important to know that the roots of the holidays are different. In time, they have come together to celebrate the first harvest, celebrate spiritual and personal growth, and enjoy the abundance of the Earth. Celebrate what feels right to you!

If you have set intentions this year and have been working with it through the seasons, now is the time to reflect on how you have grown and what these intentions are bringing you. 

Reflect on how your seeds from Imbolc have become ripe and vibrant. Think about all the hard work you put into them, from planting them to watering them and caring for them. Think about how they have grown and changed over time. Be proud of yourself for what you have accomplished. They are a reminder of your own strength and potential. Give thanks for Earth’s bounty and the beauty that surrounds us.

There are many ways to celebrate Lughnasadh. Some people attend festivals, while others hold feasts or go on picnics. Some people also make offerings to Lugh, such as bread or ale.

Here are some ideas for celebrating Lughnasadh:

Go on a walk to observe the changes in nature, check on your garden and gather herbs for spellwork. Go to the Farmer's Market, go apple picking or berry picking.

Spend time in the kitchen or around food, especially those that are associated with the harvest season, can be a great way to connect with nature and the cycle of life. Mess around with new recipes! Bake bread or toast bread you buy with herbs. Eat some late summer fruits.

Have a bonfire, picnic or dinner. Invite friends and family.  Share a brew with a loved one.

Decorate your home or alter. Tidy up your house and refresh your altar. Here are some symbols to add to your decor and alter: - wheat, corn, grains, or sunflowers - the colors green, orange and yellow. - animal symbols such as crows, pigs, calves, roosters and salmon. - more herbs, plants and flowers to use are oak trees, apple, basil, marigold, rose, rosemary

Update your witchy journals. Reflect on your talents and goals. Make a gratitude list.

Make Sun Water, used for protection, healing, clairvoyance, happiness, fertility, and creativity. Fill up a jar with water and put it on a windowsill or outside. The perfect time to place it is early morning. Add crystals, herbs and flowers if you want.

Fire and Sun spells are great around this time. Prosperity spells are wonderful too.

Lughnasadh is a time to celebrate the beauty of the natural world and the bounty of the harvest. It is a time to give thanks for all that we have and to look forward to the future. Find ways to celebrate that resonate with you. These are just suggestions that might inspire you!

Farm Fresh Produce Near Me: The Benefits of Buying Local (Harbor Foodmart)

In recent years, there's been a growing interest in knowing where our food comes from and how it's produced. Whether you're concerned about health, the environment, or supporting local economies, buying farm-fresh produce from nearby farms is an excellent choice. Searching for Farm Fresh Produce near you can connect you with local markets, farms, and stands offering a bounty of seasonal, high-quality fruits and vegetables. But what exactly are the benefits of buying local farm-fresh produce? Let’s explore.

1. Better Taste and Nutrition

One of the most significant advantages of purchasing farm-fresh produce is the taste. Locally grown fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak ripeness, ensuring the best flavor and nutritional content. Produce that has traveled long distances often needs to be picked before it's fully ripe, which can affect both taste and nutrient levels. Farm-fresh tomatoes, for example, are more flavorful and nutrient-rich compared to those that have been picked early and ripened in a truck on the way to a grocery store.

Fresher produce also retains more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a healthier option. When you buy directly from local farms, you're consuming food that was likely harvested within 24 hours of your purchase, delivering maximum freshness and nutritional benefits.

2. Environmental Sustainability

When you buy farm-fresh produce locally, you're reducing the need for long-distance transportation, which cuts down on carbon emissions. The average grocery store produce can travel thousands of miles before reaching your plate, contributing to a large carbon footprint. By choosing farm-fresh produce near you, you're supporting environmentally friendly practices that reduce energy consumption and pollution.

Additionally, local farms tend to use more sustainable farming practices. Many small-scale farms focus on organic or low-pesticide farming, crop rotation, and soil conservation techniques, which are better for the environment and public health. This means fewer harmful chemicals and a reduced impact on local ecosystems.

3. Supporting Local Farmers and Economy

Buying local farm-fresh produce helps sustain small farms and boosts the local economy. When you spend money at a farmers' market or local farm stand, a significant portion of that money stays within your community. Small farmers rely on direct sales to consumers to stay in business, and your support allows them to continue providing fresh, high-quality produce.

Moreover, local farms create jobs, not only in farming but also in related industries like transportation, local retail, and distribution. Your investment in local food supports a network of workers and businesses, strengthening the local economy as a whole.

4. Seasonal Variety and Connection to Nature

Local farms offer seasonal produce, which means you get to enjoy fruits and vegetables at their peak. Eating seasonally not only offers a variety of fresh and exciting flavors throughout the year but also helps you connect with nature’s cycles. It can be rewarding to look forward to summer berries, fall squash, or spring greens.

By purchasing farm-fresh produce, you also gain a better understanding of where your food comes from and how it’s grown. Many local farms offer tours, pick-your-own opportunities, or even educational programs that allow consumers to learn more about farming practices and the food they eat. This fosters a deeper connection to the land and the people who grow your food.

5. Community and Health Benefits

Farmers' markets and local produce stands provide more than just fruits and vegetables. They also serve as gathering spots where people can meet, share ideas, and build community. Many markets feature live music, artisan goods, and family-friendly activities that make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

Farm-fresh produce also encourages healthier eating habits. When you have access to vibrant, fresh vegetables and fruits, you're more likely to prepare meals that are nutritious and balanced. Eating a diet rich in fresh produce is linked to better overall health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.

Conclusion

When you search for "farm fresh produce near me," you're not just looking for fruits and vegetables – you're embracing a lifestyle that promotes health, environmental sustainability, and community. The benefits of buying local farm-fresh produce extend far beyond taste and nutrition. By supporting local farmers, reducing your carbon footprint, and enjoying seasonal variety, you contribute to a healthier planet and a more connected community. Next time you need groceries, skip the supermarket and head to a local farm – your body, community, and environment will thank you.

The Importance of Fresh Produce

To ring in the warmest season, we want to highlight the importance of fresh, clean produce, especially as summer is around the corner which means amazing seasonal variety. Throughout the supply chain process, origins, pesticides used, and contaminants can become present as it convolutes our understanding of where our food comes from. From imported fruits to out-of-season vegetables grown with harmful pesticides like glyphosate, the supermarket is chock-full of delicious-looking produce that hides harmful secrets.

Luckily, eating cleaner is much easier than it seems. Local farmer’s markets are the prime place to shop for locally grown organic, and non-GMO foods. And as they emphasize whole foods, it’s much easier to avoid ultra-processed packaged foods that abound the grocery store. In the summer months in Ohio, farmer’s markets shine as they display the best of what nature around us has to offer — produce that tastes better and benefits your body!

Why Shop at Farmer’s Markets?

Honesty and transparency are major reasons to visit your local farmer’s markets. Farmers grow our foods and maintain the quality of their soil, essential for avoiding things like heavy metal contaminants.

When you visit your local farmer’s market, you have the opportunity to speak with the very people who grow your food. They’re some of the most knowledgeable people around when it comes to learning about fresh food quality and how to prepare delicious summer produce to highlight all its exceptional nutritional benefits and create tasty, hearty meals.

Shopping Smarter

The next time you’re at a farmer’s market, ask your suppliers about how they grow their foods. What breeds and lineages of seeds do they use? Do they test their soil? What organic pesticides do they use? Farmers are more than willing to share what highlights their harvest from the rest of the (clamshell) pack!

Purchasing ingredients can seem tricky when you’re used to eating hyperpalatable, ready-to-eat meals. Recommendations are always something to ask about! Let those summer tomatoes shine in pasta sauces, soups, and halved in salads. Maybe the tartness of non-GMO berries is a bit much for you: farmers are well aware of how to make delicious jams and spreads. If you’re at a dead end, the unique produce at the farmer’s market can be the burst of inspiration you need.

Many farmer’s markets offer various pickling styles that make for a savory treat, and preserving is how humanity has made it into the modern world. Try heirloom grain breads, and establish relationships with vendors to learn more about how you can simplify your shopping routine. Many farms offer delivery and pick-up services outside of regular market hours!

Explore and Expand Your Horizons

Maybe you don’t feel inspired by endless summer sweet corn. It’s no worry: you can always travel throughout the state and county to check out different farmer’s markets. Terroir differs with soil, and our beautiful state is home to diverse natural resources that allow for various kinds of produce to be grown. Heirloom varietals are best preserved at farmer’s markets, so going a little out of your way is recommended: think of it like foraging for farm-fresh produce!

Bypassing the Culture of Convenience

It may seem difficult to start cooking from scratch — but it doesn’t have to be. The beauty of farmer’s markets is that the produce is so fresh and gorgeous that it doesn’t have the issues with taste, texture, and blandness that so much ultra-waxed and air-chilled supermarket produce has. Enjoy simple sautés, raw vegetables, and play with saving pickle juice to make delicious sauces and dressings. You can also find a wider variety of meats and eggs at many farmer’s markets to take your culinary talents to the next level. Try cooking healthful, ligament-heavy cuts of meat low and slow with a bunch of root vegetables, greens, and top with fresh herbs. 

Another benefit of going to the farmer’s market? You’ll soak up the summer sun and enjoy time outdoors. It’s a welcome break from the fluorescent lighting and repetitive pop music of the grocery store. Give your mind and body the rest and relaxation you need by reconnecting with our roots at your local farmer’s market!
