If you want to keep up with our recovery and fundraising efforts then this is the place to do it. Subscribers, if you’d like to opt out of these updates you can do that via your settings in Substack.

The volunteers
They carried hay, drove a cart, put up signs, tested stuff (then told me it was broken). Thank you for helping us even when we didn’t quite know what we needed next.
The Vendors
Many of you seemed pleasantly surprised by the vendors at this event. Find them below:

Many of you donated during the event or instead of going. Thank you for that.
This event was possible because of our family, friends, and new connections in Easton.
We learned a lot and look forward to future events. Some to raise money for the bridge and other kinds. We look forward to getting to know more of the Newtown community and collaborating more with them in the future.
How we’ve done so far
We raised $5,004.17 with Bridge Fest
We raised $3,500 so far through our donation page
for a total of $8,504.17
Thank you, all our donors, for your support!
We will update the donation page soon with this more current amount as well our spending on the new bridge.
A new bridge is going to cost us at least $200,000. Want to help us build it?
What next
Now that Bridge Fest is over we will start the process of constructing the new bridge and continue the process of raising donations.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for supporting us.
Thank you for watching us grow.
Many thanks and hearty congratulations to Ms Shevon & James for a fabulous kick-off festa for the Mushroom Microfarm!!! The farm looks amazing - such a property to grow into - and the feelings we got from the attendees and the vendors was so positive and encouraging. You guys have done a terrific job of community building ALREADY! We look forward to reading more of Ms Shevon's insightful writing on Substack as well as on the website, and to learning more and more from Brother James about the fascinating world of mycelium (mycelia???). GREAT JOB!!!
