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…

I could tell as I pulled into the parking lot, that this beautiful Wednesday at Red Barn Farm was going to call for a bit of a waiting in line. The sunny skies and comfortable weather made it a great night to set up chairs and blankets on the grounds of the Northfield, Minnesota farm…
