Farm Aid
Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. We know that to keep family farmers on the land we have to increase the number of people buying their good food. From our annual concert event that features family farm food and unites farmers, artists, and concerned citizens, to our inspiring and informative tv, radio, mail and web campaigns (including our HOMEGROWN.org website), we are building a powerful movement for good food from family farms.
