A promise made in 2026

Dear Member 2046

A letter for the people who will carry Celtic Roots forward, and a living archive of the promises our community wants them to remember.

Dear Member 2046,

If you're reading this, thank you for carrying this forward.

Back in 2026, when Celtic Roots was still young, we made you a promise.

We promised to put people before profit, soil before shortcuts, and community before convenience.

We promised to care for the land that feeds us.

To support the farmers, growers, producers and makers around us.

To help children understand where their food comes from.

To bring people back around the same table.

And to build a food system where the relationship between the person growing the food and the person eating it was never lost.

We knew we wouldn't always get everything right.

But we promised to listen, learn, adapt and keep growing.

So, Member 2046, wherever Celtic Roots has reached by the time you read this, we ask one thing of you:

Leave the soil healthier, the food system stronger and the community more connected than when you found it.

And when your time comes, make your own promise to the members who will follow you.

Look after it for us.

We started this together.

Now it's yours to carry forward.

With love from 2026,
Dean, Beth, Faith & Layla
and everyone who helped plant the roots of Celtic Roots 💚🌱

“As a mystic who’s writing this in 2026, I know how wildly different the world is going to look twenty years from now. I’m really looking forward to us all having a deeper connection with the lands that hold us through life, the animals that deserve the best love and care, the foods that nurture us, and the communities that help us feel like we belong. For anyone who reads this… keep your thoughts peaceful, your words kind, your intentions pure, your hearts full of love, and your smiles big! Looking forward to sitting around the campfire with you on the journey. With love, Maria xx”
