Dear John,

We're so excited to be returning to Saratoga Springs, New York, on Saturday, September 21, for Farm Aid 2024!

Artists are delighted to come together at Farm Aid each year to rally with family farmers. We celebrate all that family farmers do to look out for our soil and water, and strengthen the communities we all live in. With music and good food, we gather folks together to be inspired by the stories that family farmers share.

With your support, Farm Aid connects family farmers in New York and across the country with the resources they need to thrive. We put them in touch with long-term solutions that strengthen them and our farm and food system. We always provide emergency assistance when disasters strike. And we always advocate for fair policies that promote sustainability, equity, resiliency, access and diversity across our food system.

When we last brought the Farm Aid festival to Saratoga Springs in 2013, Pete Seeger joined us on stage to sing Woody Guthrie’s song, “This Land is Your Land.” It was one of last times Pete sang it publicly. Everyone knows the closing verse, “This land was made for you and me.” I think the most important part of that line might just be the “you and me” part.

We’re all in this together; we share this land we depend upon. We can all care for and nurture it—and each other—no matter who we are, what we have, or where we come from.

Your support of Farm Aid with a gift in any amount today strengthens family farmers so that they can thrive and keeps them on the land where they belong.

Stay strong and positive,

Willie Nelson
President, Farm Aid

P.S. As thanks for your generous donation of $100 or more, we’d like to send you an official Farm Aid 2024 t-shirt in the size of your choice so that you can proudly show how much they mean to you.
