Frost is in the forecast so we dress in many layers, warm our hands with mugs of coffee, and hustle to harvest the last of the field greens before the ground freezes. October 31st marks the midpoint between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice, when the ancient Celts celebrated the end of the harvest season and the official start of winter.
It's believed that at this time of year, the veil between our world and the worlds beyond is thin. Our modern day holiday of Halloween celebrates this time of year with ghosts and goblins, but on the farm we're more tuned into the natural cycles of death and decay. As the compost turns, death is a part of life.
