Where They Grow Pizza Flowers

When I first heard about this farm pizza business my first thought was the last scene in Wall-e when the man tells the kids that they'll grow pizza flowers. This place doesn't exactly grow pizza flowers but it does grow flowers and lots of yummy veggies for your pizza. Red Barn Farm of Northfield opens it's gates to pizza fans a couple of times of month. I went yesterday and found it quite enjoyable. It's a bit of a drive from where I live but quite pretty and green. The pizza fans came out in droves and we had to wait a while for our order but they do warn you about that on the website. I would say bring a game, book and wine for a relaxed afternoon. My friends and I all just lazed about chatting and looking at flowers, butterflies and ponies. When we finally did get our pizza which has vegan friendly crust (the also offer a gluten free option and dessert pizza) it was filled with fresh, crunchy veggies and I found it quite enjoyable. I'd also never had zucchini on a pizza before. My favorite however was the Greek Style made vegan (no cheese). The crushed garlic on it was sumptuous. They don't have vegan protein options nor vegan cheese but that's fine with me. I'm perfectly happy to eat a bunch of veggies with sauce, olive oil and garlic. We managed to find a place to park our chairs and blankets at the top of a little hill under a tree. Despite there being a lot of people it didn't really feel crowded. There seems to be a few more of these little places around Minnesota and Wisconsin and I am tantalized into exploring more of them.
