RIDE IT, MY PONY. Pardon my Ginuwine reference... but I had to.
Pizza farms seem to be the cool new thing in the Twin Cities, so my family decided to venture out to Two Pony Farms to try things out. Venture out is an exaggeration, as Two Pony Farms is actually one of the much closer farms churning out delicious pizza in the area. It's only about 15 minutes outside of Minneapolis.
To start off, make sure you come prepared. First off, you need to make a "reservation," but you can basically come at any time. Bug spray is key- you're here in the middle of the woods. Also- bring beer, wine, salad, dessert- just make sure you clean up.
Like I said, we were new to this whole pizza farm thing, so there were definitely lots of surprises, these being the main three:
1. The babies. There are so many little kids and babies, guys. It's definitely a fun family-friendly activity, especially when you bring other families along. There are pony rides for the kids, a dahlia garden to explore, and green space for kids to run along as parents sip wine. But man, I was not expecting so many kids. Almost felt bad cracking open an Oberon in front of them.
2. The wait. The oven is small, and we ended up waiting around an hour and a half for the pizza. Luckily, we grabbed some salads from Punch on the way to have as a starter, but just make sure you're prepared to wait. There were some families that left without getting pizza because they were so infuriated (like, seriously?). Bring a game or bring some drankz and you'll be fine. There's a lot of people there, so there's other waits too- mainly for the bathroom (guys, use the woods).
3. The deliciousness. I guess when pizza is coming straight from a farm you should expect delicious quality pizza, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pizzas are a little small for their $18 price (THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH DOMINO'S YOU COULD GET WITH THAT) but you can tell the ingredients are top-notch and all 4 pizzas we got were immediately gobbled up.
Highly suggest making a trek out to the farm for a summer outing. It's not a thing you should be doing regularly, but it's always fun to try something new. read more
