Three pizza farms near the Twin Cities to visit this summer

• Plus, many have live music, animals, walking trails or other family-friendly activities.

Pro tip: Some farms often allow alcohol, but don't sell it onsite. If you're interested, grab beer or a bottle of wine beforehand.

• And just in case, bring a trash bag to ensure you leave no trace.

Here are three spots to visit within an hour of the Twin Cities.

🦙 Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm: This Waseca farm has trails, animals (including a llama and alpaca), live music on weekends and even a blueberry "dessert pizza." Walk-ins only, open Thursdays-Sundays.

• Torey recommends picking up a growler of fresh beer from Half Pint Brewing Company nearby. (Just remember to bring cups.)

🐐 Alpha and Omega Farm: The Princeton farm has a dedicated wood-fired pizza night each Thursday, or order a pie after a Sunday morning outdoor "goat yoga" session.

• Walk-ins are accepted but ordering in advance is recommended.

🐔 Red Barn Farm: All 10 acres of this Northfield farm are open for visitors to explore, including the gardens and areas with horses and chickens.

• It's open every Wednesday and also the third Sunday of each month. Reservations are required; cash or check only.
