Friday night, we took the Supper Club table somewhere it had never been: around the fire pit. Twenty-four guests sat shoulder to shoulder, facing the flames. Beautiful plates, vintage teacups, plaid blankets, and live music filled an October evening on the farm.

After dessert, we turned off the table lights and let the surrounding dark into our circle. The stars seemed to come a little closer. For a moment, the quiet was the conversation. Then came a familiar song, and we all joined in.

For Mr. and Mrs. Farmer Jones, Supper Club is also a homecoming—a return to the intimate dinner parties they hosted as a military couple on the West and East Coasts. Different places, different tables, the same pleasure in gathering people close and letting an evening unfold. Our last Supper Club of the season is November 20.

And there’s still October to savor on the farm:

October 15 — Harvest Hang: Apples & Ciders
October 17 — Chef Series finale with Chef Jenn Beach and Courtney Fraley
October 22 — Harvest Hang Finale: Pumpkin Party and Market.

Then we gather at our holiday tables: Friendsgiving: An Unconventional Harvest Feast on November 21 with Chef Whitney and Christmas on the Farm on December 19, a twelve tastings inspired by The Twelve Days of Christmas, with all the sparkle and cheer to close Season 11 off beautifully.

Choose an evening. Bring your people. Celebrate 2026 and these last gatherings of Season 11.

October Thursdays belong on the farm.

The evenings cool, the menu gets richer, and the bonfire becomes everyone’s favorite gathering spot. Tomorrow, October 8, settle into our Fall Harvest Hang with live music, a place at the long table, and the best flavors of the season.

On the menu:
*Smoked & Fried Wings with apple c***r–hot honey glaze and scallions.
Smokehouse Burger with smoked cheddar, crispy fried green tomato, arugula, and smoky pepper mayo.
*Fried Sage Butter Grilled Cheese with sharp cheddar and Gruyère on golden sourdough.
*Smoky Roasted Pepper & Bean Chili with a smoked-cheddar sourdough crostini.
*Roasted Butternut Squash & Apple Soup with a sage-butter sourdough crostini.
*Brown Butter Poached Pear with c***r, toasted pecans, and whipped cream.

Order wings, a burger, or grilled cheese on its own, or pair it with a cup of soup or chili. Make the evening yours.

No set seating time. Come when you can, find your place at the long table, and leave when you need to. Bring a sweater and a few friends. Between the kitchen, the music, and the fire, the farm is a very good place to be in October.

Thursday, October 8 | 6–9 PM
Kitchen closes at 8 PM.

Let it be a sigh that brings relief. Time to keep something from passing unnoticed, going undone, or fading away. Time to say it, begin it, return to it. Let it also be a quiet nudge—a calm call to trust and courageously move forward.

As we live out this last day of September, be in September today. Don’t let worries borrowed from Thursday, Friday, or next month crush you today. Cast them off. Tend to what’s in front of you. There are still flowers blooming and places at the table.

You’re not the keeper of time. You’re a steward of it.
There’s still time. Take those words for what you need today.

Come sit where the season is in bloom.

From what we grow in the soil to what we gather around the table, every detail is rooted in the farm.

Chef Beth Hackett’s Dine on the Land on October 3 is officially SOLD OUT — a reminder that there’s something special about gathering around this table.

Next up: October 17 with Chef Jenn Beach & Chef Courtney Fraley. Come taste the season, gather around the table, and experience Dine on the Land for yourself.

Your seat is waiting. 🌿

Somewhere between the first pour and the last bite, the world slows down.

Good food, open fields, and a table that brings us back to what matters.

This is Locavore.

RAIN OR SHINE, THE FARM IS OPEN THIS THURSDAY

Don’t let the forecast change your plans—we’ll likely be moving the fun inside the barn for a cozy Thursday Harvest Hang featuring live music from Jaik Willis, farm-inspired tacos, and a mini pop-up market with indoor shopping.

Thursday is Locavore at its most casual: come as you are, bring your people, grab dinner, enjoy the music, browse the market, and settle in for an easy evening on the farm.

Then on Saturday, the barn transitions and the experience elevates as we welcome Chef Sahil Sethi, culinary director of Michelin-starred INDIENNE and Michelin Bib Gourmand–recognized SIFR, for a very special Dine on the Land—which is officially SOLD OUT.

Two completely different ways to experience Locavore. One beautiful, delicious week on the farm.

Only six Thursday Harvest Hangs remain this season—don’t wait until they’re gone.

This is Dine on the Land. A celebration of what grows here, what’s created here, and what happens when we slow down long enough to share it.

Tomorrow, Chef Mat Meyer joins us at the table for a sold-out evening.

Then on September 19, Chef Sahil Sethi takes his turn, bringing his perspective to a table rooted in the land and the season.

Come gather.
Come taste the season.
Come back to the table.

Sometimes the fruits of our labor are easy to see—in every flower planted, tended, and gathered.

And sometimes, they’re tucked quietly beneath the blooms, waiting to be discovered.

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the good work of hands, hearts, soil—and even a few hardworking hens. The most beautiful things rarely happen all at once. They are laid, planted, tended, and gathered little by little.

Happy Labor Day from Locavore Farm.
