As Farm Aid 25: Growing Hope for America gears up this weekend, we’re excited to hear about their many sustainable initiatives.

This year, Farm Aid is parenting with local organizations to try and achieve a zero waste goal, and it looks to us like they are right on target.

Here are just a few of the ways they’re getting green:

With the help of Oconomowoc-based White Oak Farm, all compostable waste at the concert will be turned into Purple Cow Organics Activated Compost with Micro Life. What’s more, all of the concessions will feature local and organic food, and at the Homegrown Village, concertgoers will have the chance to meet the farmers and learn why local is the way to go! Also, volunteers and production staff will be transported to Miller Park in the nation’s largest plug-in electric hybrid school bus fleet. Can we get a ride?

This year, Farm Aid will feature performances by Farm Aid president and founder Willie Nelson and board members John Mellencamp, Neil Young and Dave Matthews. Also on the roster is Kenny Chesney, Norah Jones, Jason Mraz, Jeff Tweedy, Band of Horses, Amos Lee, Robert Francis, BoDeans, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Randy Rogers Band and The Blackwood Quartet.
