Supporting a Good Cause:
A Little Mud (Season) Music will raise funds for GardenShare's Bonus Bucks program which helps eligible community members to afford locally grown food during the farmers market season. The 2025 Bonus Bucks program has only reached approximately 50% of its fundraising goal and it is anticipated that demand will be high this year, with the continued high grocery prices as well as uncertainty about government funded assistance programs. A Little Mud (Season) Music events will be a fun way for community members to enjoy music and food, while also supporting this worthwhile cause.
