Hug Your Farmer was established by Select in 2010 as a way to raise money for Pete’s Greens, who’s barn was destroyed by a fire. Since then, Hug Your Farmer has played five other benefit shows, including a live-streamed event during the pandemic featuring performances by Dave Matthews and Grace Potter, and have raised over $120k for Vermont farmers.
The Vermont Community Foundation, through their VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund, has directed over $2 million to Vermonters who have been impacted by this summer's flooding. 100% of proceeds from the event are donated to the fund. Additionally, a generous friend of the foundation has offered to match donations from the event up to $100k.
