“Growing up in Texas, I learned at an early age the difference between a fresh tomato, a fresh farm egg and the stuff most other people eat and think is food. There is just no way to compare a family-raised ham to a ham from a factory farm or fresh strawberries to berries shipped thousands of miles.
Good food comes from farms with healthy soil and clean water. That’s why I’ve always believed that the most important people on the planet are the ones who plant the seeds and care for the soil where they grow. Farm Aid’s vision for America is to have many family farmers on the land – a vision born out of a strong conviction that those who grow our food and care for the land and water are of vital importance; that farmers and their fields are the fabric that holds our country together.”
Stay strong and positive,
Willie Nelson
President, Farm Aid
