Farm Aid Music Monday & Chipotle's BOORITO

Over on Farm Aid's blog (I'm the "web guy" there), it's Music Monday. We're taking a break from Farm Aid 2011 videos and going back in time to 2001. Why?

Share your Farm Fresh Pics!

Photos from the Dairy Rally & My HOMEGROWN Wannabe Dreams

This week at Farm Aid, we welcomed Joel back to the office after his trip to Iowa last weekend where he attended the Dairy Rally for Fair Prices. Thankfully, weather cooperated and turnout was good - farmers and participants from eight states showed up and spoke about solutions to the ongoing dairy crisis (the short version of which is, dairy farmers are being paid less for their milk than it takes to produce… Continue

Howdy from the Land of Farm Aid & Important News About a Dairy Rally

Hi there, I'm Matt.

I've been a member here on HOMEGROWN since it debuted as a social network and have enjoyed following the conversations and getting inspiration from all of the things people are working on, but I haven't written any blog posts here - until now. Exciting to be witnessing history, isn't it?

I've been the "Web Guy" at Farm Aid for a little over a year now and would like to update you on just what it is we're working on from time to… Continue
