Farm Aid's mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered
system of agriculture in America. Farm Aid artists and board
members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John
Mellencamp and Dave Matthews
host an annual festival to raise funds to support Farm Aid's work
with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family farm
food. For more than 30 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the
artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised
$57 million to support programs that
help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement,
take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture
and promote food from family farms.
