Happy Thanksgiving. I’ll let NPR do the work for me today (they did a good job).
Farm Aid is as much a ritual gathering of America’s farming community as it is a fundraiser and a concert.
At the annual event, corn and pig farmers trade tips and plot lobbying strategies, and college kids listen as Dave Matthews plays a killer set. It’s a story of hard times and new possibilities, of farmers markets, of young people, whose parents were forced off the land, returning to farm again, and the beginning of new food chains.
