Kevin Springs and Teresa Ervin-Springs of TKO Farming, in McCool, Mississippi speak about their experience becoming farmers. TKO Farming (short for Teresa and Kevin’s Oasis) came about when Kevin inherited a 73-acre plot of land that has been passed down through his family. Ever since, Theresa and Kevin have been on an incredible journey to learn about food and agriculture. We reached out to invite them to Farm Aid 2022, and it was wonderful to get to know them over the three days they joined us in North Carolina. As you will see in this video, which was filmed during a break in our pre-festival Thursday event, Teresa and Kevin are doing awe-inspiring work on their land, strengthening their community by producing good food, and stewarding the land, soil and water in ways that are good for all of us!

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 $70 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.

Farm Aid’s performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They’ve raised their voices to help — can we count on you to stand with us and pledge your support? https://farmaid.org/donate
