Local residents plan flood relief concert for EIEIO farm
Kathleen Mooney, local organic farmer, lost her farm last week in Wimberley, when an eight-foot wall of water washed through her home and 10-acre farm. The high waters totaled her car, swept away tools, drowned her chickens and destroyed most of her fencing.
The residents of Wimberley have come to the rescue by planning a flood relief benefit concert for Mooney and her EIEIO Farm. The concert will be held from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m. Nov. 17 at Cypress Creek Café, with a suggested donation of $20 per person.
Playing in the benefit concert will be musicians Walt Wilkins and Jimmy Davis, Kevin and Dustin Welch, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Kelley Mickwee and Andrew Hardin, Elizabeth Lee and Kim Miller, among others.
A silent auction is also planned with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the farm. Merchandise to be auctioned off will include a new guitar (signed by participating musicians), hand-made pottery, recycled art, paintings by local artists, a professional photo session, a massage, Doc Martin boots signed by Ray Wylie Hubbard, t-shirts and CDs from local musicians and more.
“When we say ‘Village of Wimberley,’ we mean it,” said Kevin Welch, a musician participating in the event. “Folks around here support each another when times get tough. Neighbors and friends have gathered to reset fence posts, clear away debris, gather tools and materials, and clean out Kathleen’s house. That’s what Wimberley is all about.”
The EIEIO Farm cultivates two acres of nutritious and delicious vegetables, fruits, and herbs. She also sells eggs and homemade condiments, such as garlic mayonnaise and pesto sauce, at regional farmers markets and retail stores.
