Eating our way through the Pizza Farms of the US and Canada
None of us were able to leave work early. Traffic and construction slowed us down. I remembered everything I wanted to bring except I left Robin’s bag of snacks in front of her house and completely forgot the La Croix. Our four-person tent did not have a rain fly and the forecast was predicting a…
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…
The storms held off for us as we headed north to a new pizza farm on the banks of the St. Croix River. We knew it was our first time at this pizza farm, but we didn’t realize until we arrived that it was the Women’s Environmental Institute’s (W-E-I) first ever Pizza Night. They did…

I love the Basic Cheese Pizza at Borner Farm Project. They do not hold back on the cheese, that’s for sure. This month they were serving up a few flavors we recognized from May and they added a pepperoni pizza with some semi hot peppers. I really enjoyed every slice that I had. There were…
Robin and I went to our first new pizza farm of the 2017 season; the Stone Barn in Nelson, Wisconsin. It was just a few small towns farther than A to Z on the Mississippi. It was so strange to be in the area on a weekend day. Everything in Stockholm was open! We didn’t…
Despite some rain and gray skies, we had another successful Pizza Farm trip to AtoZ Produce in Stockholm, Wisconsin. Five of us smushed into one car and made our way through the start of St. Paul’s rush hour, just barely getting to Stockholm Pie Company in time to clear out most of their remaining inventory…
In the purest sense, a Pizza Farm grows everything needed to make a pizza, from the flour to the cheese to the sauce and all the toppings including any meat. After a bit of research and helpful tips from people who know I love pizza farms, I have identified places that qualify as Pizza…
