No Food, No Farmers

“I want to tell you about the most hopeful thing in the world. It is a seed.”
Janisse Ray, The Seed Underground

This is an invitation to all to take a walk through nature, observe the changes that are afoot and allow it to inspire you. With natural materials gathered from the local landscape (sustainably and thoughtfully!), make yourself a costume, decorate a mask and join us as we walk through Clonakilty to celebrate the ancient festival of Samhain and the arrival of winter in Ireland at sunset on November 8 at 5PM.

The pulsing heart of this year’s Samhain Festival is The Living Land, a three-day Regional Gathering of Talamh Beo, inviting you to look beyond the supermarket shelves, pull up a chair, and meet the farmers who feed us.

Together, we will explore a path toward national food resilience, driving the urgent call for better support and official recognition of local growers.

By championing a decentralised, community-embedded food system, we can help protect Ireland from global supply shocks and climate volatility.
