Connecting Farmers and Eaters

Against the Grain: The Farm Aid Podcast – As Farm Aid moves around the country every year, they swap out the food normally served at the venue for food sourced from family farmers who follow specific ecological standards and who get paid a fair price. We’re talking about the mind-blowing, family farm food that festivalgoers eat each year at Farm Aid! The food is the best food you’ll ever get at a live event, and it’s changing the concert industry.

Guests include: Farm Aid’s Associate Director, Glenda Yoder and Culinary Director, Sonya Dagovitz who, together, established HOMEGROWN Concessions® in 2007. Chef Michel Nischan of Wholesome Wave who, with former USDA undersecretary Gus Schumacher, pioneered using food stamps (now called SNAP benefits) to buy family farm fruits and vegetables – proving that all Americans, regardless of income level, want good quality food.
