Say Hello to Harvest Season

By Kat La Mantia | September 2 2025 | AdultsAllBlogChildren'sGeneral

September is here, Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back on the Starbucks menu, and fall has officially begun (at least in our hearts).

Fall is all about cozy living, comfort food, and togetherness. It’s the season of Gilmore Girls and sourdough starters, a time for crochet projects and game nights. Lean into autumnal vibes with gifts that feel like home and books that inspire shoppers to take advantage of the great indoors.

This year, after seeing a surge of interest in homesteading and “back to the land” living in spring and summer, fall is all about the traditional “harvest” vibes. What does that entail? Think heritage crafts, rustic homemade breads and preserves, and classic autumnal motifs that feel vintage and timeless.

Help home gardeners make the most of their bounty before the temperature drops with The Modern Pioneer Pantry, or add a traditional twist to their Thanksgiving spread with recipes derived from American culinary history with Braided Heritage. State Fairs celebrates the rich culture of local crafting in fall-friendly colors, and Crafting the Wheel of the Year is a perfect pick for magical makers who want to honor nature’s seasons. And for kids, harvest time is all about the pumpkin patch with books like Squash & Pumpkin: #SquashGoals and Pumpkin Spice!
