Wood-Fired Pizza Party

The hot flames, bubbling cheese, and a sourdough crust – all make for a fantastic pizza. Learn how to make delicious sourdough pizza dough with local whole grains, which includes many techniques to use at home in any oven.

It’s going to be party as well. Bring your appetite. As the dough rises, we will nosh and celebrate local food with a grazing plate from our friend’s farms.

Lots of hands-on fun from kneading dough to peeling pies of hot pizza out of the oven. In addition to classic Neopolitan style pizzas, vegan options and even a dessert pizza will be served.

$100 per person with proceeds going towards our barn renovations fund.
