According to a recent post on Farm Aid’s official Instagram page, the event will feature “a full day of music, family farmers, HOMEGROWN food and a HOMEGROWN Village with skill-shares and other agrarian experiences.”
Reflecting on the past year, Nelson holds the event’s greater purpose, supporting community agriculture since 1985, close to his heart.
“The experience of the past 18 months has reminded us how much we need each other,” said Nelson in a statement on the Farm Aid official website. “I’m so glad we can come together again at Farm Aid 2021. When we combine music, family farmers, and good food, we have the power to grow the kind of agriculture that strengthens all of us.”
