Marianne, of Bangor, ME, submitted this beautful picture of plums at a road side farm stand in Massachusettes, to Farm Aid’s Fresh Farm Pics contest.

“Let’s not let our family farmers go away. It would be sad if our children aren’t able to experience going to a local farm stand for fresh food, good for both body and spirit!”

Farm Aid is sponsoring a photo contest, whose winner will receive an expenses-paid trip and two front-row tickets to the Oct. 4 concert in St. Louis. 

Currently slated to appear are Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz, Wilco, Phosphorescent and Jamey Johnson.

The event will once again feature Homegrown concessions, with foods from regional family farms and local organic growers. The Homegrown Village will host hands-on activities that give concertgoers a chance to meet family farmers.

To enter the contest, Farm Aid invites you to take a picture of of anything related to family farmers and the food they produce:  farms, farmers, farm families, tractors, barns, a perfect crop of organic veggies or fruits from your local farmer’s market, your favorite farm animal—any image that shows the vibrancy and beauty of the American family farm.

Photos should be uploaded to the Farm Aid Farm Fresh Pics website by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September. 6th — that’s Sunday!   You may also vote for your favorite photos until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time September 20.

If you don’t want to send in your pic, although I hope you do, you can see all the pictures submitted (hundreds and hundreds) and vote for one of them at www.FarmAid.org

Here’s the picture I entered.  Thanks to everyone who voted; every dollar goes to support Farm Aid and their important work.
