A rainy night wasn't enough to dampen our enthusiasm for Pizza on the Farm. ![]() Tuesday nights, the Pizza Farm in Stockholm, Wisconsin, bakes up "killer" pizzas from ingredients grown on the farm. (Yes, even the grain to make the flour for the crusts.) I suggest arriving as early as possible; it's a popular destination on Tuesday nights. The lines will become long. One size of pizza -- BIG The wood-burning pizza ovens are fired up already on Monday mornings for the Tuesday night baking. ![]() The pizzas are prepared in a small, enclosed prep kitchen opposite the two pizza ovens. When completed, a mad dash is made with the pizza peel to the oven. Under better circumstances, the pizzas are eaten outdoors on the lawn, or picked up and taken home. ![]() Fortunately, we were early enough to score a table inside one of the out-buildings; away from the rain. A beautiful, old wood-burning heater keeps diners warm on chilly fall nights. You bring your own drinks, silverware and napkins. ![]() I can't even imagine how big the pizza crowds must be on a warm, sunny evening. What you can't see in this photo are the many cars that were lining the road as we drove away.

Hi Eileen! I was just reading the St. Olaf magazine and it has a feature on the pizza farm this month. With all these photos, I think I should plan a trip to Stockholm!
