Harvest Around The World

Title

Gratitude looks different everywhere. 

Five countries. Five harvest traditions. One full moon season.

Long before refrigeration, grocery stores, or global trade, communities around the world depended on the success of the annual harvest. It’s no surprise that cultures across the globe developed their own harvest festivals and traditions - from first-fruits celebrations honoring the season’s earliest crops to thanksgiving festivals expressing gratitude for a plentiful harvest.


The word “harvest” comes from the Old English hærfest, meaning “autumn,” and harvest celebrations have long brought people together through abundant food, feasting, family gatherings, storytelling, and traditions of gratitude.


Harvest Around the World: A Global Gratitude is eat2explore’s five-country journey through these fascinating global harvest traditions. Travel through South Korea, China, Israel, Ireland, and India as you discover Chuseok, the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sukkot, Samhain, and Diwali + Annakut through food, stories, recipes, cultural traditions, and hands-on activities.
One country, one celebration, and one delicious discovery at a time - all from your own kitchen.
