About the Weed Patch Music
Company
The Weed Patch Music Company is owned and
operated by recording artist and multi-instrumentalist Kara Barnard and Luthier
Jeff Russell. They didn't start this adventure to turn a profit. Jeff and Kara
view the store as a musician's co-op where luthiers talk shop and musicians
trade licks.

Come and visit the Weed Patch Music Company in
Brown County. The store's so close to the courthouse you could toss a penny
underhanded and hit the side door! Just look for the big banjo that hangs over
the alley.
