Dig In! Yancey Community Garden We work within our communities to grow and share from our gardens so that everyone can eat well. Founded in 2009, Dig In!

was a response to the recognition that almost no fresh vegetables were available to our local food relief agencies. Since our first plantings in April of 2010, we have grown and shared food so that everyone in Yancey County has access to food that supports their health and well being.

We had a great time at the repair Café yesterday thanks to all of our volunteers and the WNC Repair Cafe!

We put our heads together and repaired 38 broken household items, tools, and garments! That’s amazing. We ❤️ keeping stuff out of the landfill 👏

We also learned from each other, shared skills, and strengthened our relationship relationships. Just what Dig In is all about. 🥕

And we had a great time showing off the Dig In Tool Library with over 60 tools that help folks grow and preserve more food.

Thank you for helping us make our 2026 Empty Bowls fundraiser an incredible success! Together, we brought together over 400 people to raise over $20,000 in support of Dig In's work building food security in our community. It is inspiring and deeply humbling to be a part of something that generates this wealth of community participation and support. On the behalf of our staff and Board, we are so grateful.❗❕❗❕❗❕

We have so many people to thank for the success of this event. 14 local chefs and 53 home cooks prepared food to share. Over 80 volunteers were a part of planning, setting up, serving, and cleaning. Dozens of artisans donated 420 beautiful bowls so that everyone could take home a lasting reminder of the abundance that comes from sharing with one another. And, finally, our local business sponsors, who we'll tag below!

We value each of your many gifts and commitment to being a part of our work. Together, we can work to ensure that everyone in our community's bowls is full.
