Eating our way through the Pizza Farms of the US and Canada
Saturday turned out to be a beautiful fall day to explore a Wisconsin Pizza Farm. It was sunny and the temperature was cool, bordering on cold. I found out later that for my friends in Minnesota it was snowing, so the fact that we could get by with just an extra layer and a fire…
I saw the Instagram post from Heritage Prairie Farm on Monday and quickly RSVP’d for this bonus Pop-up Pizza Night! The Wednesday night Pizza Night at Heritage Prairie Farm starts in June and ends in August, so I thought I would have to wait until 2019 for more beet pesto, lemon and garlic massaged kale,…
Troy Farm is Madison, Wisconsin’s first urban farm and only urban Pizza Farm. I heard about it from a friend in Minneapolis in 2017, but didn’t have time to add it into my pizza farm schedule last year. This summer I made sure to coordinate with my old friends that live in Madison to find…
Cress Spring Bakery doesn’t need any more publicity. They have become well loved in the Madison area over the past several years of serving pizza and they were featured in the New York Times.

Thursday was my first trip to an Iowa Pizza Farm! I have been scouting out the pizza farm scene in Iowa for about a year and I was excited to finally make it out there and enjoy some pizza. One of my greatest joys since moving to Chicago has been recruiting new Pizza Farm Enthusiasts…
One weekend while cashiering at Sugar Beet Food Co-op, I was not surprisingly talking about Pizza Farms. A customer overheard part of what I was rambling on about and said, “Oh, that sounds like what one of the farms at the the Oak Park Farmers Market is doing. They had a sign up about Pizza…
Yesterday was the first pizza night of the year at Heritage Prairie Farm and it was a great beginning for my summer in Chicago. All winter long I have been talking about Pizza Farms to the residents of Chicagoland, finding creative ways to build it into conversations, and posting about it on social media. I…
This posting is a little late, but the Last Night’s Pizza Box 2017 season ended in a memorable trip to the number one favorite on October 31, the last night of the regular season for A to Z Produce. This whole project and mission started with Robin and Gina, two friends trying to enjoy as…
