Farm Aid

If I could, I'd buy all my food from family farmers who choose to grow things organically and/or biodynamically. I'm thankful for those who make the commitment to grow real food as nature intended.

I am thankful for family farmers because in a generation that is full of fake and modified things, it has become exceedingly refreshing to buy and consume produce and meat that is made as nature intended it- and that is 100% real, healthy and nutritious.

The time that these lovely people put into their produce so that they can be able to- not only... See More have enough for themselves- but be able to share it with us by selling it to us, is a true gift of generosity on their behalf.

Thank you family farmers!

you guys are awesome!

Thank you

Thank you Veterans! Lets remember to take care of those that have taken care of all of us. Spending our money at home on our own problems makes sense to me.

Thank you to all the Veterans, past and present, fighting for our freedoms.

Yeah Vets! We do care.

Its so simple yet folks dont get it! GROW LOCAL BUY LOCAL SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FARMS!! God Bless Our Family Farmers!

Some dairyman from Calif. has some $$s and wants to go global. Of course, he needs a 30 acre manure lagoon for the dairy that he will build to put all of the small farmers out of business.

My 6 year old son just watched this with me ... maybe a new generation becoming aware. Thank you.

2010 Farm Aid would like to see it in Scandia, MN call me and will show you why timnate@netzero.com

Why don't we wait to have the concerts to celebrate AFTER Farm Aid gets something accomplished by Congress. I'd like to see more public appearances by these celebrities ; that star in the concerts , as they try to make the general public AWARE of the crisis Dairy Farmers have been facing since the beginning of 2009 , and possibly putting more ... See Moreelected officials on the spot as to why they aren't helping.

I'm a Dairy Farmer in NY. I am now facing incredible amounts of debt , as we try to borrow tens of thousands of dollars each month to pay our regular monthly expenses in order to keep our 4th generation farm. I'm a member of Farm Aid , but can't imagine going to a concert until I KNOW something has been accomplished to help save our farm and the thousands of others like mine FIRST. Do Something Useful with my $ 40 membership fee PLEASE!

i spoke with a secretary in Governor Paterson's Albany office today and SHE admitted she didn't realize it was COSTING farmers money - to make milk , and has been since January. The banks are going to be in a hell of a mess soon with thousands of NOW worthless farms with millions in debt each !

Banks are failing. 100 went down this year and 100 will go down next year.

Wanted to share a documentary we're making about family in farming in Southern Ohio: http://vimeo.com/6939006 Thanks for taking a look.

Springfield, Ohio says NO to Issue 2!

got 2 shirts sold out at the show.

I watched this event everyday until it was over. I have lived back and forth from Olympia Wa. to lewiston Id. The value on local shopping is so different. in Olympia the people really take pride in their local venders and farmers. lewiston they do not shop local its about walmart they will not even take the time to shop in local stores it is ... See Morehonestly the saddest display I have ever seen. Lewiston is surrounded by local farms and small town values but they will not go to the mom and pop shop down the street.

please shop with your neighbor it is truely the only way and it is in my opinion the only way it should be.

I agree with Michael. It makes me so mad to think how much money is WASTED on campaigns alone. I hope and pray that the family farm can survive. It's really tough all the way around for everyone. I don't think there is any politician that can look away from the mirror long enough to focus on the things that really matter. We're losing a part of America that many generations have spent so long and worked so hard at keeping alive.

I gave to farm aid. Love it!! Keep up the great work!
