Been pressing and brewing cider all day (in between errands and kitchen witchery). This is the last of it. First cider batch gets bottled tomorrow. Extra grateful this year for the season especially because we didn't get one last year. #OnTheCovenstead #WitchSky #HarvestCreations

A big cauldron of ratatouille.

I tried Julia's recipe this time instead of the one I was taught by my Gigi. It's good, but my grandmother's version is better. And faster. #OnTheCovenstead #HarvestCreations #WitchAlt #CookingWithTheAncestors #WitchSky

Our little make-shift 'brew haus.' Plans were supposed to have had an actual building here by now; resources diverted for infrastructure repair. But it works and we have a blast during cider season. It really is a harvest festival vibe. 1/3 #OnTheCovenstead #VillaWestwyk #HarvestCreations #WitchAlt

Pressing cider today is like food-nerd nirvana. I seriously feel honored and privileged to have this abundance to have to 'work' on a Sunday. #OnTheCovenstead #HarvestCreations #WitchSky #PermieWitch
