Farm Aid Celebrates Indoors
• Farm Aid, the non-profit organization with the mission of building a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America, and AXS TV presents a special “shelter-in-place” broadcast of At Home With Farm Aid, featuring performances by Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews, this Saturday, April 11 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.
The hour-long live event reunites Farm Aid President Willie Nelson, joined by his sons Lukas andMicah, with fellow Farm Aid board members Mellencamp, Young, and Matthews for an intimate performance to raise funds and awareness for farmers impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Enjoy the simulcast on AXS TV and at farmaid.org, as well as across the Network’s social media platforms.
“The coronavirus has disrupted our entire country and is a grave threat to all of us,” said Nelson. “One of its many impacts is that it has helped us to better see the value of essential people like healthcare workers, grocery store clerks, delivery truck drivers, and farmers and ranchers. Farm Aid has worked for 35 years to build a family farm centered agricultural system, and we are here now to support farmers and ranchers in this crisis, without whom we could not eat. The time to build a resilient family farm food system is now!” To make a donation to Farm Aid, please visit farmaid.org/donate.
