Where Farmers, Music and Food Come Together- Farm Aid 2026

Live from Farm Aid, Feast + Harmony brings you conversations with the people connecting music, farming, and community. Artist Ty Myers talks strong family support and his collaboration with Willie Nelson, while Nick Harrison—known as Mr. Professor—shares his love of the experience hosting Farm Aid’s Family Reunion. We also sit down with Cartwright Family Farms for an honest look at farm life, the hardships facing family farmers, and the dedication it takes to keep going. Together, these conversations bring the heart of Farm Aid into focus: the people who grow our food, the artists and advocates who champion them, and the year-round work of keeping family farmers on the land.
