Dear John,

Today is the day! The gates will be opening soon at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh, North Carolina for Farm Aid 2022. If you're joining us in person today, make sure to double check the venue rules, plan out when your favorite artists will perform, and figure out which HOMEGROWN Skills demos and FarmYard Stage briefings you'd like to attend.

As you may have heard, COVID has found our friends Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats. Unfortunately they need to take some time to get better, and will not be able to perform at Farm Aid 2022. But rest assured we'll still have a full day of incredible music!

The new Farm Aid 2022 merch is stocked in our store. Check out all of our new gear and take home T-shirts, totes, hoodies and jean jackets all made with organic cotton, screen-printed at union shop Mirror Image in Rhode Island and also from TS Designs in North Carolina.

We couldn't do any of this without you! Your support allows Farm Aid to continue to fight to keep family farmers on the land and to connect them to the resources they need to address the challenges of a changing climate. With your generous gift of $75 or more, we’d like to send you an official Farm Aid 2022 T-shirt so you can proudly show your support of family farmers. Thank you!
