Willie Nelson Quote: "Family farmers deserve our support in growing a better kind of agriculture."

Dear Gary,

It’s one of the highlights of my year to let you know that Farm Aid 2022 will be held at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday, September 24!

I’m always grateful for the opportunity to join my friends and fellow board artists – along with all the other generous artists who donate their performances – on stage to lift our voices in celebration of family farmers and all that they do for us. It will be a day of amazing music, food and inspiring stories from family farmers – the very ones we’re there to thank and strengthen.

Not only do family farmers provide us with good food, but they’re also careful stewards of the soil, water and air around us – the very resources they need to nurture us. As our earth’s climate changes, their knowledge is critical, and we need them on the land.

Your support allows Farm Aid to work to keep family farmers on the land and connect them to the resources they need to face the challenges of a changing climate.


Farm Aid 2022 Tshirt


Farm Aid works tirelessly to connect family farmers with the resources they need and to provide the long-term strategies and solutions that strengthen family farm agriculture. Farm Aid provides emergency assistance when climate disasters strike and advocates for fair farm policies that promote sustainability, equity, resiliency, access and diversity across our food system.

Please donate now to show our family farmers how essential we think they are, and as a thank you for your generous gift of $75 or more, we’ll send an official Farm Aid 2022 festival T-shirt in the size you select.

Stay Strong and Positive,


Willie Nelson, President, Farm Aid



SHOW FAMILY FARMERS THAT THEY'RE IMPORTANT TO YOU

Dear Gary,

For all of us at Farm Aid, last month’s festival was an energizing celebration of music and food in support of family farmers. Whether you were there with us in Raleigh or took part at home, we hope it was a meaningful day that reminded you of what farmers do for all of us, from providing us with good food to growing solutions for climate change. Today, we’re looking back at Farm Aid 2022 to share experiences of fans in the crowd and people working backstage.
