I had the pleasure of being introduced to Brightside Acres delicious teas, November of 2011 at a Craft Fair. I enjoy them almost daily. I enjoy the organic aspect of the tea, as well as the natural healing qualities. Dawn is a beautiful person, and I look forward to future purchases! I would like to say a special "thank you" for the donation Dawn made for the children in our community :)

Dawn, I have a craving for your delicious Blueberry Preserves and Peach Nectar. Great on ice-cream! I will be forever thankful for my time spent "on top of the mountain," communing with Nature and the Cosmos. And, of course, for time spent with you. Hope to return soon. Babette

As I sit here watching the Freeside bird family (Tufted Titmouse, Cardinal, Carolina Chickadee, Goldfinch, Red bellied Woodpecker) at the feeders I am delighted to hear about their relatives in West Virginia! Thanks for sharing.

it was fun. kinda miss it.

Hi Dawn, This is Videographer James Elia. We met at Huntersville a few weeks ago. I took your advice and went and interviewed Jessie Beard Powell. I'm planning on going back as she might give me a tour of Camp Allegheny from the Yeager family point of view. I'm hoping to contact Hunter Lesser to see if he can come. I would also like to see if you would be interested to be there. At the battlefield, Hunter will speak of the battle, Jessie will talk about her family's role, and you could talk a little about the windmills. It would be one massive power interview as we tour the camp, and a lot of wonderful information would result for the public interest.

To answer the question in one of the pics. The squash crossed the road because it felt like it deserved to be squashed. Wow that was a bad joke.

You are an inspiration :)

Thank You for your efforts to preserve Camp Allegheny. I have identified 13 ancestors who were with Co. K & H of the 31st Virginia Infantry on Allegheny Mountain, one of which was my Great-Great Grandfather, Jacob S. Bennett, Ist Sgt. 31st Virginia.

Met you today at the Charleston Sustainability Fair.....told you about our WV Wild Foods club which has been around for over 40 years. and to check out the national meeting in September at North Bent State Park for their Nature Wonder Weekend. We normally have 50 + members who attend and bring wild food dishes from all over Appalachia. Give me a call at (304) 926-8678 for more information.

I spent Friday afternoon with friends exploring Camp Allegheny. My GGF's served in the 31st Va.Infantry there in 1861,and I would like to help in the fight to preserve such a treasure of history. Can you direct me as to who to contact on a state level to voice my concerns? Thanks..ke4hdv1@comcast.net

As summer's end draws near, I hold closer still my June memories made at Brightside Acres. Peace and beauty and solitude. Nature's whisper. Star searching. Sun warming. Dirt digging. Vegetable picking. Blueberry jam, lip licking! Mountain hiking. Beaver tracking. Just to name a few. I can't wait to return.

Visiting your site today, while at my desk, was a pleasure. I remember my times visiting at Brightside with a smile and need to get away from the hustle and bustle for another visit soon! If we all lived with such intentionality and partnership with nature, like is exemplified at Brightside, people, animals, the ecosystems, the planet,all would benefit!

I am so looking forward to my visiting Brightside Acres! See you in three short days.

Very nice! I look forward to your progress.

This is the greatest site I have ever seen. It is very well organized.
