Eating our way through the Pizza Farms of the US and Canada
I hesitated at first to suggest Blossom Hill Orchard and Farm to the Pizza Farm Road Trip travelers. In my head, my priority was Pizza Farms and some of the other travelers were more focused on Breweries. And Iowa, especially Decorah, is well represented in the Craft Beer arena. I wanted to make sure that…
Luna Valley Farm is one of the newest Pizza Farms on the scene. Their first official Pizza Night was in September 2017 and 2018 is their first full Pizza season. I have been emailing with the farmers, Maren and Tom, for almost a year and I was disappointed that my 2017 plans to get to…
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…
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…

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…
My Pizza Farm Season is officially underway. I want to express so much appreciation to my Mom for encouraging me to find Pizza Farm style places while on vacation last year and to my sister for reminding me to check out the area on this vacation. Because of them, I was able to combine the…
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…
Every week I get a little more emotional about the end of Pizza Farm Season 2017. For this trip, Robin and I made great time to Stockholm, surprising all the Pie Shop staff by walking in at least 15 minutes before closing time. The owner saw us and immediately checked the clock. We were expecting…
There’s no denying that Pizza Farm season is winding down. Week by week, more and more farms close up shop for the season. The calendar starts to look a little sparse and it is a good idea to double check the farm’s website and make sure they are still serving. Even if the farm has…
