The future of agriculture in America is dwindling down, but you can help. This week, support America's farms during Dine Out for Farms Week, which is October 10-16. Dine Out for Farms intends to bring together the major elements of the food industry - restaurants, consumers and farmers - to help support a more sustainable future for America's farms.

During this week, restaurants will help raise funds for American Farmland Trust programs to sustain farms across America and maintain the land on which they stand. As Oliver Monday of The Market Restaurant in Gloucester, Massachusetts remarks, “[w]ithout land, there will be no farms. Without farms, there will be no food."
