Dig Inn owns a 20-acre farm in New York's Black Dirt region and buys from 102 farm partners. Ownership is a different story: $132M in venture backing, Danny Meyer's fund among the investors, and a founder who stepped back to executive chairman in 2023.
The Big Picture
Dig Inn owns a 20-acre farm and buys over half its produce from within 300 miles. The labor record doesn't match: 17 delivery workers sued in 2018 alleging improper tip credits and unpaid overtime, and the case settled in 2019. With $132M raised and a professional CEO since 2023, it answers to its investors, Danny Meyer's fund among them, more than to any single owner.
