Eating our way through the Pizza Farms of the US and Canada
It felt good to be back in New York State. I flew from Chicago to Albany, rented a car, and went directly to my favorite Italian Pastry Shop, Villa Italia in Schenectady, NY. They are one of the few places my Dad and I can still find pasticiotti, so whenever I am in the area,…
Prairie Wind Family Farm Pizza Night is such a treat for Chicagoland. We are so lucky to have a Pizza Farm just under an hour drive from the city. They even serve on Sunday evenings. Many times, getting out to a pizza farm on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday is a challenge that requires lots…
In my opinion, having at least a couple miserably hot days is an important part of each summer. If a summer were to go by without these days, I feel like I missed something. I wouldn’t say I enjoy sweating while sitting motionless in the shade or being too hot to sleep at night, but…

Finally! My 2019 Pizza Farm Season has started. The season opener was a lead I followed off my Instagram feed. Grassway Organics in East Troy, Wisconsin posted about their First Night of the Season, mentioning that they’d be featuring a Gluten Free option!
