My Farm Story with MaryAnn Bellazzini

Today, we sit down with MaryAnn Bellazzini of Campo di Bella as she shares her story of growing up on the north side of Chicago and evolving from being on the expected track of having suburban careers and the detour she made by moving to rural Wisconsin. Abundant gardens led to a farm enterprise and eventually a farm-to-table enterprise. MaryAnn and her husband, Marc, run Campo di Bella, a farm-to-table restaurant and winery in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, serving Italian-inspired dining experiences. Self-taught on the farming side, MaryAnn and her family moved from the Chicago scene and for several years ran a vegetable CSA from their abundant garden. Her Italian heritage and love for creating welcoming settings around food inspired the current food service venture.
