We know that to keep family farmers on the land we have to increase the number of people buying their good food. From the annual concert event that features family farm food and unites farmers, artists, and concerned citizens, to our inspiring and informative television, radio, mail and web campaigns (including our HOMEGROWN.org website), Farm Aid is building a powerful movement for good food from family farms.
