Pizza farm
A pizza farm is an educational visitor attraction consisting of a small farm on a circular piece of land partitioned into plots shaped like pizza wedges. The farm's segments produce ingredients that can be used in pizza, such as wheat for the crust, tomatoes or 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.
Farms which cook their own pizzas, sometimes using ingredients grown on the farm itself, are also called "pizza farms" and have become popular in Minnesota and Wisconsin.[1][2]

With roots originating in the Midwest, the 'pizza farm' concept involves a farm serving these cheesy tomato pies, typically with farm-raised fare as ingredients ... Pizza farms serve the pizza 'take-out' style, and guests have the option to take it home or, much more likely, bring their own gear and eat picnic-style on the farm.
