We are back with MaryAnn Bellazini of Campo di Bella digging deeper into the start-ups of an on-farm commercial kitchen, winery, restaurant and more. It’s all about relationships and getting to know details level by level, from the township to county to state and perhaps even federal level.

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.
