Norman Greer, Denise and John Jamerson, and DeAnthony Jamerson of Legacy Taste of the Garden describe how their family has been involved in the agricultural community of Lyles Station, Indiana. Lyles Station, Indiana’s only remaining Black rural settlement, was settled in the 19th century. These three generations of farmers explain the importance of farming and how they’ve adapted and remained to steward their land and grow good food for their community.

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, Dave Matthews and Margo Price host an annual festival to raise funds to support Farm Aid’s work with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family farm food. For more than 35 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised more than $78 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.
