Full Moon frequencies

This project began as a New Year’s resolution that never formally launched. A quiet idea. A seed without a label. But like most things in farming, timing matters — and not everything blooms when you expect it to.

As much as this path is about planting and seeding, it’s also about watching the sky.

Farming teaches you quickly that growth isn’t just soil-deep. The moon pulls the tides, and because plants are largely water, many growers have long observed that lunar phases influence moisture movement in the soil and sap flow within plants. During a full moon, when the sun and moon sit opposite each other with the Earth in between, gravitational pull is at its strongest — contributing to higher tides and subtle shifts in groundwater levels. Some traditional agricultural systems plant leafy greens during the waxing moon (when light is increasing) and root crops during the waning moon (as energy draws downward).

The moon completes its cycle roughly every 29.5 days. A solar eclipse occurs during a new moon, when the moon moves between the Earth and the sun, briefly dimming the light that fuels all photosynthesis. For a moment, shadow interrupts growth — only to restore it again.

This work has taught me: we are always growing in cycles of light and dark.

I’m not just growing food.
I’m serenading new life so it can continue to give life.

Every seed carries stored energy from the sun. Every harvest is condensed starlight. When we tend crops under a full moon, when we harvest in early morning light, when we feed community after long miles run — we are participating in something far older than us.

So in celebration of the full moon — and in quiet preparation for the new moon — I’ve put together these playlists. Consider them sonic compost. Frequencies to usher one cycle out and invite the next in.

Happy solar eclipse.
May the shadow remind you how precious the light is.
