Ditch the Store with CJ from Mojo Homestead🌱 www.mojohomestead.net

This week we’re taking a little detour — into the spiritual side of homesteading.

Join CJ as she explores Lammas (also known as Lughnasadh) — an ancient Celtic harvest festival that marks the beginning of reaping what we’ve sown. Whether you’re into folklore, farming, food preserving, or just the rhythm of the seasons, this episode is all about connection — to the land, to the work, and to yourself.

You don’t have to be religious or even spiritual to take something away from this episode. You just have to be someone who cares about your patch of dirt.

🧭 In this episode:

🍞 What is Lammas (Lughnasadh) and how does it connect to farming?🌾 Why this ancient grain festival still matters today📆 Seasonal transitions: letting go of summer, preparing for winter📓 How CJ is using journaling & gratitude to cope with injury and celebrate harvest wins🔥 Fire, sun & energy — symbolising the final push before winter sets in🐐 Stories from the farm: baby goats, first tomatoes, and the gift of homegrown joy🍲 Simple ways to mark the occasion — from baking your own bread to sharing a meal with your mob

📣 CJ also shares:

• The role of Celtic heritage and earth-based traditions in her homestead life

• How Lammas can be a time to reflect on effort vs reward

• The power of compost, soil care, and “giving back” to the land

• Why you don’t need to grow eggplants if your family hates them 😉

📝 Want to honour the season in your own way? Try this:

• Bake something using homegrown or local ingredients

• Light a candle to mark the sun’s energy

• Write a reflection on what you’re proud of this season

• Offer something back to the earth (compost, mulch, or simple thanks)

• Share your harvest wins with CJ over at @mojohomestead
