Helo all,

My name is Niki and I've been lurking around this forum for a while now and have found loads of extremely useful information here; thank you for all the honest opinions.

My husband and I are in the process of doing our 'homework' on the possibility of moving to Belize. He has lived there in the past (north of San Ignacio), for a few years, and misses it greatly.

We both are looking for a simpler/realistic lifestyle, like most. We currently have a small farm in Boulder, Colorado with a focus on growing gourmet mushrooms. In Boulder we have a fairly large 'green' movement that has been happening for over a decade. We are selling our mushrooms to all the farm-to-table restaurants along with beef, pork, and free-range eggs.

We are heavily into sustainable agriculture and with the environmental and health benefits of mushrooms we would love nothing more than to be able to continue the same business in Belize.

I would appreciate anyone's feedback on if there are currently any mushroom producers in the southern parts of Belize and what is your opinion on restaurants utilizing gourmet mushrooms on their menus? What about local farmer's markets?

I will mention Stann Creek district, between Dangriga and Placencia, is where we've been scanning farm land but are not set on anywhere just yet. Much more research needs to be conducted.

Thanks! Niki
