Farm Aid Mission

Every year, Farm Aid board members and performers, including Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, and Margo Price, come together to host a festival that raises money to support family farmers.

The event aims not just to provide financial backing for farmers, but also to encourage the public to seek out food grown on family-run farms.

Over the past four decades, Farm Aid has generated more than $80 million through its annual festival.

Those funds go toward programs that help farmers succeed, strengthen the Good Food Movement, push back against industrial agriculture, and promote the benefits of locally produced food.
