THE MONTHLY DIGSNovember 2026 Gathering In, Giving Thanks & Staying Connected Hello friends and neighbors! As the leaves settle and the air turns truly crisp, we find ourselves in that beautiful in-between season—harvest winding down, roots deepening, and community gathering a little closer. November invites us to slow down, share what’s local and good, and keep the connections we’ve built all year strong. Whether you’ve been with us through the growing season or you’re just finding your way to the farm, there’s still plenty of warmth and welcome here. Here’s what’s happening: Upcoming Events & Markets
After November 1, our open farmers market will be closed for the year. The good news: the online market continues year-round, so you can still support local growers, makers, and producers from the comfort of home. Stay tuned for details on how to shop online throughout the winter months. Classes, Workshops & Youth Programs
Get Involved – Volunteer & Give Back We are a volunteer-powered farm year-round. Even as outdoor work slows, kitchen help, meal preparation for community partners, planning for next season, and special projects continue. Sign up through our volunteer page or simply reply to this email—we’ll match you with what fits. Looking to support in other ways? A donation, sponsoring access for someone else, or sharing our events goes a long way. Every bit helps us keep reconnecting communities to the natural good of the farm. A Note from the Farm November reminds us why this work matters: the shared table after a market day or foray, the quiet satisfaction of putting the garden to rest, the laughter of kids still discovering the land, and the knowledge that local food and real community are worth gathering for. Thank you for being part of it all season long—and we look forward to seeing you at the Halloween Foray & Potluck and the Farmstand Society Fall Festival & Market as we close the open season together. Full calendar, ticket links, and sign-ups live on digfarm.org and our Linktree. Follow @digfarm on Instagram for day-of updates, photos, and last-minute opportunities. See you soon. Let’s keep dealing in good. From our fields to you, ![]() ![]() Farmstand SocietyFall Festival & Market There’s something special about the fall markets—when the air turns crisp, neighbors gather once more, and the farm fills with the best of what’s local. On Sunday, November 1, DIG Farm in partnership with Farmstand Society invites you to our Fall Festival & Market right here at the farm. It’s a chance to meet the bakers, farmers, makers, and growers who form the heart of Farmstand Society—over twenty vendors strong and still growing. You’ll find meat and seafood, eggs and dairy, fresh produce, bakery, prepared foods, pantry staples, beverages, and thoughtful home and wellness goods, all brought to you by the same people who grow and make them with care. Beyond the market tables, the day will be full of life: raffles with prizes worth winning, games for all ages, and live music to set the mood as you wander, taste, and connect. This festive day will also close our open market season for DIG Farm. After November 1, the outdoor market rests until next year—while our online market continues year-round so you can keep enjoying the best of what’s local. Because the freshest food really does come from close to home. Come hungry. Stay a while. Take a little of everything good with you.
