Eating our way through the Pizza Farms of the US and Canada
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…

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! I immediately contacted some of my GF friends to share the good…
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…
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. The Pizza Crew, led by bakery owner Jeff, has been pushing hard this summer to keep up with the popularity of Pizza…
