About Harvest
In years gone by, harvest was a time of hard work, cooperation and joy. Rural communities would gather together to collect crops and store them for the winter months. The spirit of cooperation and camaraderie was evident as neighbours supported one another in this labour-intensive process. There were always jobs to be done in the Harvest season; vegetables and fruits to be picked, crops to be harvested, corn to be threshed and ground, flax to be pulled and food to be preserved in preparation for the long winter months.
At Ulster Folk Museum, we honour that spirit of togetherness and tradition. Come along and celebrate the abundance of nature and the rhythms of rural life at Harvest.
