I enjoy Grassway Organics so much that I was willing to drive out there two nights in a row for Pizza on the Farm! When I showed up on Friday, Farmers Chaz and Megan graciously greeted me as always. When I showed up again on Saturday, they wondered if I had stayed overnight in the…

July 16 Borner Farm Project
Going to two Pizza Farms in a span of 3 days made for exactly my kind of summer vacation. I filled in the spare hours between Pizza Night One at Red Barn Farm and Pizza Night Two at Borner Farm Project by visiting old friends and meeting new babies around Minneapolis. After a few days…
July 14 Red Barn Farm of Northfield
Congratulations to Red Barn Farm of Northfield. Over the past few years, the Winter family has notably survived a tornado and a global pandemic and is still going strong with their Pizza Night on the farm every Wednesday from May to October. With a beautiful new red barn and an easy-to-use online reservation system, Red…
July 9 Hawkins Family Farm
My Friday night at Hawkins Family Farm showcased some iconic highlights of a summer night in Indiana. The scene was set with farmland stretching in all directions and some country music provided by my nephew in the background. The long driveway was full of tailgaters enjoying some meat-heavy pizza options made with wheat, produce, pepperoni,…
June 6 Sprouting Acres
Sprouting Acres is in their third summer of hosting Pizza Nights. I followed them on Instagram through the pandemic summer of 2020, longingly seeing their Pizza Night posts from my self-quarantine in Chicago, imagining a time when I would feel safe interacting with people again. Last month when I was making my personal calendar outline…
May 1 Grassway Organics
The 2021 Pizza Farm Season is on! Opening Night at Grassway Organics made me feel like I hadn’t missed a beat. The farm itself was looking lush and beautiful. Many of the cows were loudly greeting folks as they arrived. It was sunny and hot with a strong wind to keep things comfortable. I appreciated…
2020 Pizza Farms and Covid-19
Fear not. I continue to eat pizza on a regular basis. Occasionally I will take advantage of the options for carry-out and delivery and outdoor dining. Sometimes at home, I will go so far as to make a frozen pizza. I have yet to attend a Pizza Farm for this season and I am undecided…
September 24 A to Z Produce
Now that I live in Chicago, getting out to Stockholm, Wisconsin for A to Z Produce and Bakery Pizza Night isn’t as easy as it was when I lived in Minneapolis. I went to the number one favorite earlier this season after going to a wedding in Mankato. I had another great opportunity to go…
September 14 Surprise 40th Pizza Farm at Bunker Hill Forest Preserve
A little over a week ago I told my friend, K, that my brother wasn’t very good at planning surprises. She hasn’t let me forget just how wrong I was. I turned 40 on Friday the 13th. I work a lot of weekends and I like to throw parties, so my brother, Pete, wanted to…
September 6 Borner Farm Project
Borner Farm Project Pizza Night in Prescott, Wisconsin has been one of my favorites for several years now. It is a Friday night event, only 45 minutes from Minneapolis, and has been a great place to host larger groups of people including a wonderful place to bring kids. They start early in May and go…
