“We should be interested in knowing where our food comes from. If it comes from soil that is organic, that is grown by our family farmers, we know that it’s more healthy than the food grown by big corporations that saturate the soil with chemicals and pesticides and fertilizers.Thank you for those farmers who are doing their part, doing organic farming, and who need our support. That’s why we’re here, 25 years in a row.”

—Willie Nelson, during the Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America concert, a fundraiser for the organization, Farm Aid, which supports local family farmers.
