Pizza farm
A pizza farm can be both a farm-based food-service
establishment that sells pizza or a demonstration farm that
educates visitors about agriculture by growing pizza ingredients,
sometimes on a circular piece of land partitioned into plots shaped
like pizza slices.

Demonstration farms

Some pizza farms are demonstration farms that educate visitors
farm that sells pizza
about agriculture by growing pizza ingredients, sometimes on a
circular piece of land partitioned into plots shaped like pizza slices.
The farm often grows ingredients that can be used in pizza, such as
wheat for the crust, tomatoes, herbs, pork for pepperoni, dairy cows for cheese, and even trees for
pizza oven firewood. Certain farms may even have access to coal or natural gas deposits that can be
used as additional pizza oven heating fuels.

Examples of demonstration pizza farms

Agriculture in the Classroom Canada has yearly student-farmed pizza farms.[1] There are other
food farms in the program, including a "burgers and fries" farm.[2]
The Pizza Farm at Cobb Ranch (Fresno, California)[3]
"R" Pizza Farm (Dow, Illinois)[4][5]

Culinary pizza farm

Some pizza farms are primarily farm-based food service establishments that sell pizza. Pizza farms
have become popular in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Farms often grow or raise many of their
own ingredients, similar to demonstration pizza farms.[6][7][8]

own gear and eat picnic-style on the farm."
