The Story
Cónocht an Fómhair, the autumn equinox, falls between the harvest festival of Lúnasa and the otherworldly festival of Samhain. This equinox brings a natural balance to the land before the descent into winter. Farmers see it as a time to prepare for shorter, cooler days. In Dingle, the hedgerows blaze with autumn colours and are laden with ripe blackberries, rose hips, and hawthorn berries.
