The August 22 deadline for media and photographers to request advance credentials to Farm Aid 2008 Presented by Whole Foods Market and Horizon Organic is fast approaching. Credentials will also be available at the venue on the day of the show for an additional fee. Information about the time and location of credentialing, as well as a schedule of event-related media activities, will be made available by e-mail to credentialed media the week prior to the show.
Details about media policies and the credentialing process for Farm Aid 2008 Presented by Whole Foods Market and Horizon Organic are available at http://www.farmaid.org/media.
Farm Aid board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews, joined by singer/songwriter Kenny Chesney and other artists yet to be announced, will perform at the organization's first-ever New England music festival at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Mass. on Sept. 20.
The day-long festival will celebrate music and good food, featuring hands-on activities for concertgoers and media in the HOMEGROWN Village that will showcase urgent issues in food and agriculture, highlighting the direct connection between who is growing our food and what we eat every day. The concert event will again feature family-farm identified, local and organic foods at concessions, setting an example of the many ways that family farm food can be integrated into the general marketplace.
Farm Aid's mission is to build a vibrant family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. Farm Aid artists and board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews host an annual concert to raise funds to support Farm Aid's work with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family-farmed food. Since 1985, Farm Aid has raised more than $30 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.
