Ain't That America

I grew up like my daddy did
My grandpa cleared this land
When I was five I walked the fence
While grandpa held my hand

Farm Aid is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep family farmers on their land. Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp organized the first Farm Aid concert in 1985 to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land. Dave Matthews joined the Farm Aid Board of Directors in 2001. Farm Aid has raised more than $30 million to promote a strong and resilient family farm system of agriculture.

Whenever possible, buy local, eat local. In New Jersey, check out Jersey Fresh. Nationally, check out Farm Aid.
