Eating our way through the Pizza Farms of the US and Canada
It has been a cool and rainy August so far in Minneapolis and it has taken a little more dedication and determination to follow through on some of these Pizza Farm nights. Yesterday required some flexibility and a little stubbornness to achieve Last Night’s Pizza Box ultimate goal of capping off a successful day with…
Sometimes we go to the pizza farm even if the weather forecast says scattered thunderstorms, heavy rain, and possible flooding. And so far it has always been worth it. Last night we showed up to Red Barn Farm of Northfield in groups staggered throughout the evening. Car Number One arrived just after 5pm and it…
Pizza Farms are a Midwest thing, but I’ve been able to find places from coast to coast that are doing something similar. Last night we went West to Hideaway Bakery and the Mazzi family farm in Eugene, Oregon. If I had a few extra weekend days, I would have checked out Agrarian Ales in Eugene.…
Success! We completed our very first Pizza Farm Camping Trip! Sawmill Pizza and Brew Shed was our final stop before we returned to life with comfortable beds and lots of salads. We left early from our campsite, making the hard choice to pass on the mini golf course just a few feet from our tent,…
Fortunately it turns out that the Last Night’s Pizza Box Camping Trip group is a flexible bunch, because it felt like we changed a majority of our plans.

Last year when Gigi and Robinette were just getting started on some of their Pizza Farm marathons, our friend, Bea, casually said, “Why don’t you just come over to Powderhorn and we can have our own Pizza Night with my parents’ neighborhood wood-fired brick pizza oven.” In my head I could not believe that someone…
It is peak Pizza Farm Season in the Midwest and Red Barn Farm was hopping last night. It was sunny and hot, but with a nice breeze and shade that spread over the lawn as the evening continued. Gigi and Robinette were back at it and we brought a new friend, Mike. Mike was intrigued…
On Tuesday afternoon I called Heritage Prairie Farm to get some information about the Pizza Night scheduled on Wednesday. I had read on the website that orders are not taken before 4:45pm and I was wondering if the farm was set up in such a way that there would be a place I could hang…
