Farm Aid at Great Woods on 9/20

Young & Nelson – Farm Aid 07 by: Adam McCullough

Farm Aid makes it New England debut this year on September 20 at Great Woods (technically now called Comcast Center) in Mansfield, MA. As they do every year, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews are all scheduled to perform with additional artists to be added soon.

Working to keep family farmers on their land, Farm Aid brings together family farmers and citizens to guarantee family farm food is available to you. Farm Aid’s mission is to build a vibrant family-farm centered system of agriculture in America.

The annual benefit concert will celebrate music and good food, featuring hands-on activities in the HOMEGROWN Village that will showcase the direct connection between who is growing our food and what we eat every day.

“Just as rock & roll is loud and proud, so is Farm Aid. Farm Aid’s greatest accomplishment, I believe, is in the spirit. It’s the fact that we represent the spirit of the good fight, to keep something good happening. It just keeps getting stronger and stronger…” –Neil Young
