What is a Pizza Farm?

So what the heck is a pizza farm? Pizza farms are farms that grow produce that would go on a pizza and the dough is also typically made on the farm.

The tomatoes for the sauce would be grown on the farm, and any vegetables for the pizza would have been grown in the garden, too. It's all very fresh!

They're open every Friday from the end of May through the end of September 5-8 PM, but they will close early if they run out of dough.

At Red Barn Farm, tomatoes, peppers, onions, basil, and other seasonal veggies are all grown on-site and used for their delicious pizzas. They also have cauliflower crust for a gluten-free crust option.
