As farmers and ranchers in the Southeast deal with the historic impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, Farm Aid has activated its Family Farm Disaster Fund to provide immediate aid to family farmers in the affected regions. Chipotle made the first major donation to the Family Farm Disaster Fund, in the amount of $250,000.
For nearly four decades, Farm Aid has stepped in quickly after natural disasters to assist farmers and ranchers. Catastrophic rainfall, flooding and wind damage from these hurricanes have wreaked havoc on farmers who already struggle with the many challenges of agriculture that lead to financial, legal and emotional stress. Farm Aid’s hurricane relief efforts will focus on family farmers and ranchers who have lost their barns, livestock, crops, fields, pasture and other essential farm infrastructure. Farm Aid will also support farmers who were spared major damage but suffered economic losses due to closures of grocery stores, restaurants, farmers markets and other outlets.
