What's Going On?

Hey Reader ,

January has come and going in a flash. Along with it several weather changes but of course it does when you live in the South!

Snow, Sleet, Ice, Sunbathing Days, Rain, you name it and we have had it.

Personally, I am happy about some freezing days because it usually ensures a fabulous morel mushroom season. Morels need so many chill hours before fruiting which is why north of Macon gets the bulk of mushrooms. Of course it is nothing like the fruitings in Ohio and Michigan!!

Soon, very soon they will come.

Some cool things happening already too!

Still going strong, as of today it is DAY 38!!

I started the 75 Hard Challenge on January 1st. Here it is in case you want to check it out. Yes it is hard, it is supposed to be. Not just physically, mentally too. There are a few difficult parts for me but I am gonna stick to it because if you fail a task for the day, you have to start over as Day 1.

The Books are HERE!!

I love to help folks find their thing, follow their passions or even just start something new. Value-Add Yourself is all of that plus more rolled into a book with actionable steps.

Every single person has a dream of some sort but many do not pursue it due to fear, money, upbringing, time, excuses etc..

I would love everyone to find that passion and pursue those dreams! We only have one life to live so let's try to enjoy some of that life!

You can read more about it in the link. I have more in stock to sell. Either send me a message or click the link and choose pick up or ship.

Hi! I'm Anne-Marie the Forager Chick at Bella Vista Farm

Foraging wild food is my passion! To be able to find food and medicine almost every day is an old skill that has been forgotten by many. It is my job to ignite that spark in YOU to get out there and forage too. I teach homesteaders and preppers how to identify wild plants and mushrooms to use for food and medicine.
