Tammie, belatedly, thanks for visiting our pizza farm and thanks for leaving a recommendation here! We are so curious about Red Barn Pizza Farm; we keep hearing great things about it and we really want to visit. We thought we’d read up on it here but we didn’t expect to see our own farm mentioned in the comments!
Is this in Wisconsin?
yes, this is in MN, just 20 minutes south of the metro in Northfield
Wait. If this is in Wisconsin then it’s not in Minnesota. If it’s in Minnesota then it’s not in Wisconsin. A link in the body of the post might be helpful.
This is located in Minnesota. Not Wisconsin! lol….
Yes, it is in MN. I had been hearing about pizza farms in WI (there are many more there and I think A to Z was one of the first) but decided to go to one in MN since it was closer and this is Twin Cities Familys Blog. Northfield is practically a suburb. 🙂
Have you been to the one in Spring Valley, MN?
no, but thanks for the suggestion. We will have to check it out!!
YOu should also check out Berne wood fired pizza on Wednesday nights from 5-8pm
thank you Anna for the suggestion. You are one of many to suggest this so I will have to check it out. Thanks.
how can someone find these pizza barns? I live in Rochester, MN and would like to visit a few of the ones mentioned in Northfield, Spring Valley, and NW of Rochester.
RoxAnn, if you go to the bottom of the post, there are links to the websites of the various farms. On each website there are directions and information about when to visit.
Check out Berne a Wood-Fired Pizza. It’s located in the middle of nowhere but within 30-40 minutes of Rochester, Owatonna, Northfield…. It’s great. Pizza is wonderful. They have parking! The best part… An amazing outdoor concert series every week. Open Wednesday nights. They take orders from a little before 5 – 8 PM. Here’s their website: https://sites.google.com/site/bernewoodfiredpizza/. They have an active Facebook page too!
