Acorn Fest 2025 @ the Little River Land Trust + the Possibility Alliance, Belfast, Maine

Earlier this October, I got to accompany Maggie Ruth Haaland to New England Acorn Co-operative’s 9th Annual Acorn Fest at the Little River Land Trust and the Possibility Alliance in Belfast, Maine.

It was a beautiful day full of nature, community connection, exploration and experimentation.

think:

• acorn harvesting, cracking, and processing demos

• acorn ink, collective dreaming, and an acorn dye pot station led by Maggie

• a guided forest walk

• a buffet of foods made with acorns

• information and local resources to learn more about acorns, oaks, and things like green burials

• announcements about local groups and events, including ways to support some of the most vulnerable people and groups in the area.

My body felt so nourished by it all! What a gift to be a part of it, and to document it with my camera. Sharing the photos below!
