Suncrest Gardens Pizza Farm – Cochrane, Wisconsin - Gastro Obscura

"There’s an agricultural trend that’s been taking root the Midwest since the late-’90s, and it’s pizza farms. Pizza. Farms. No, this doesn’t mean farmland where pizzas are springing up from the earth, but it’s the next best thing. An increasing number of farms in places like Wisconsin and Minnesota are hosting pizza nights, serving pies made in wood-fire ovens from their own fresh crops, with locally sourced toppings based on what’s in season. There are pizza farms all over the country, but most, like Suncrest Gardens Farm, are in the Midwest, where the pizza nights create extra income for small farms. The pizza nights are usually picnic-style, with visitors bringing their own plates, utensils, blankets, towels, and chairs, and expected to clean up after themselves. One of the first Midwestern farms to start hosting pizza nights is A to Z Produce and Bakery in Stockholm, Wisconsin, which started the ingenious tradition in 1998. Since then, other farms have followed suit, and each has its own selling point. Suncrest Gardens is particularly family friendly; children are freer to run wild than on other farms. There’s also live music. Two Pony Gardens, in Long Lake, Minnesota, is particularly close to a city, making it a more convenient trip than most pizza farms, which can take two hours to reach from the closest metropolitan area. Pizza farms do have elements that require more diligence on the part of visitors than the average pizzeria. The animals are usually fenced in, but the fences tend to be electric, so it is generally a good idea to give them and their fences space. The same goes for fields on unpicked crops. That said, exploring the farm is usually encouraged as part of the unique and delicious experience. Know Before You Go Different pizza farms host their pizza nights on different days and at different hours. It is a good idea to call or email ahead and make sure they have room rather than just showing up." - AaronNetsky

This restaurant is on a quaint farm nestled in rolling hills. There are flowers, herbs and vegetables growing everywhere which creates a lush environment and the landscaping was beautifully done with plenty of shade to escape the summer heat. The atmosphere is quiet enough to enjoy a relaxed conversation, yet lively with subtle music and the hum of happy guests enjoying their food. The animals on the farm add to the charm-especially the little pigs, who were unbelievably cute and friendly. The whole experience felt warm (aside from the summer heat) and inviting, thanks to Heather and the incredible staff. They were welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. And the food? Absolutely delicious. The pizza was a standout as it should be for the concept-FRESH, flavorful, clearly made with love and top-notch ingredients. Plenty of beverage options for all ages. A nice selection of locally sourced/made items and some apparel. Also- Bath & Body Works has nothing on their soy candles (sexy farmer was my favorite scent). I wish I would’ve gotten pictures, but I was thoroughly enjoying taking it all in! This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a hidden gem where nature and nourishment meet in perfect harmony. I can’t wait to visit again!

Some of the best pizza there is!!! Great atmosphere, great food, great landscape, everything is just fantastic. You should go here!

Beautiful setting. Pizza is pretty good. Do not expect service, but expect to get asked to tip. Prices are typical for a place where they are the only option—very high. Cocktail with little to no alcohol and lots of ice in a small plastic cup is $7. It’s approximately 3 sips through a straw and gone. On a busy night, expect a looong line to order. Pizza could take close to an hour to receive. Kids playgrounds are very rickety, so be cautious.

I Googled Best Pizza in WI and Suncrest was on both lists I checked. Headed out on my motorcycle eagerly anticipating the pizza. It is a tricky place to get to; it's on a working farm on the WAY backroads NE of downtown Cochrane. This place, people, and the pizza was absolutely worth the 508 miles round trip I put on. True Farm to imported Italian pizza brick oven to repurposable pizza box to my stomach. Mercedes and Heather the pizzaiola and Farm owner were very kind, showing me the oven, telling me their story, and generally making sure the solo motorcyclist customer of theirs had a fantastic time. There were loads of families out with their kids. The kids played on the playground. Just a beautiful location with wonderful, caring, passionate staff. AND THE BEST PIZZA IN WI! I had the Supreme: Delicious!

I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful this place is, but will certainly try. First of all; it’s absolutely beautiful- everywhere you look. Secondly, the food is amazing. Fresh, delicious, and made with love. What I can’t highlight enough is the wonderful staff members who work at Suncrest. I recently had my wedding reception here- Heather and her team were easy going, hard working, and so incredibly kind. Especially the bartender! If you’re thinking of going out for pizza, or asking Suncrest to host an event, you truly can’t go wrong. THANK you to the amazing people at this beautiful establishment.

One of my absolute favorite places in the world. You can't beat this atmosphere. Pizza and lemonade made with local ingredients on a menu that changes all the time, live music, and nature. Wear bug spray and enjoy.

"It's just country boys and girls gettin' down on the farm." -Tim McGraw Have you ever wondered whether pizzas grow on trees, vines, or are plucked from underground? The best way to get the root or meat and cheese of the matter is to get down on this 16-acre pizza farm yourself. To get there, drive through serpentine country back roads and "a steady cloud of dust that leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks." Park behind the main buildings where rows of tomato, mozzarella, and pepperoni plants grow. Save time by sending some of your crew to scout for a prime picnic spot while you queue up in the ordering line. Expect a long wait, but hay, it's worth it! You'll be happy as a pig in the mud sinking your teeth into a tasty, wood-fired, farm-fresh pizza. We ordered the following (ingredients in pics): PESTO: Basically an apprentice Vampire Slayer. Killer pizza, but not strong enough to destroy Jemaine Clement's Vladislav. HALEY'S COMET: Fungus is not for me. THAI CHICKEN: Popularithai contest winner! It could use extra cilantro as that was overpowered by the sweet chili peanut sauce. VAMPIRE SLAYER (previous visit): Unearthly amounts of garlic will give your inner Buffy raging vampire-slayah superpowers! Hi-yah! But there's more on this farm than meets the sty besides pizza! Hang out by the campfire, enjoy live music, or visit with the resident chickens, cows, pigs and goats. You'll be living high on the hog, enjoying it all on a Suncrest pizza night until the cows come home. Best pizza, barn none. DRESS CODE: Come as you are COVER CHARGE: Ain't one FARM RULES: "Don't forget to shut the gate, and stay out of the beans" REWARD for finding Becky

This place is out in the boonies, but so worth driving to. I visited here for a special event, so I can't really judge the normal operations or service. The pizzas we had were super creative and scrumptious. I had so many different ones, I can't decide which one I liked best, they were all good. Fresh ingredients. The sheep and chickens were a big attraction for everyone in our party. It was a lovely evening.

ALL THE WAY FROM CHICAGO! This is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. It is absolutely worth the 5.5 hour drive from Chicago. The entire set up is beautiful, cozy, and relaxing. It's such a stress free place and a great escape from the Chicago city life. When we first arrived, we saw a beautiful flower arrangement. You can pick out whatever flowers and as much flowers as you want for a self-serve 5$ donation. It is basically right where we parked, so it was our first stop before walking into the farm. The entrance is basically the ordering station. There's a window with menus and decor all around it and a fridge with drinks for purchase. After you place your order, you are directed to the back with a number for another window and a bar to pick up your food and drinks. The scenery is just breathtaking. There's a few outdoor seating options, however, it seems like most people bring their own chairs and blankets and cozy up by the fire pit. I even saw a few people roasting marshmallows. There is also a great play area for kids and tons of farm animals like chickens, goats, sheep and cows. Quick heads up: Pizza nights are Friday's and Saturday's from 4-8:30PM during the months of May to September. In October, pizza nights are Saturday's only from 3 to 7:30PM. I noticed that they have one event coming up in November in which they celebrate the fall season with a "Dinner on the Farm". I believe the farm is closed throughout the winter season, but I'd double check with the owners just to be sure. It was just my boyfriend and I, but believe it or not, we ordered three 12 inch pizzas. We wanted to try everything we desired. It's not everyday we get to go to a farm and eat pizza! We had the Zippy Roadrunner and Thai Chicken pizzas from the seasonal menu, and from the original menu, we had the Mushroom and Herb pizza with the butternut squash upgrade since they were in season. I had the Heirloom Tomato Salad also from the seasonal appetizers menu. I'm not sure what it is, but my lord the freshness of the food here is out of this world. It's truly farm to table and you can definitely tell the difference. There was a little bit of a wait on our pizzas, but that's totally expected. I also realized that this farm seems to be run by women and I'm all for that. The ladies are doing an excellent job. On the day we visited, they had a pie contest and numerous people brought in pies. You had the option to try as many pies as you want for a donation starting at 3$ per pie. The money goes to help a school down the hill, which made us want to get even more pies. We ended up trying 4 different pies, but hey, it's for charity! The farm is not only pizzas and just sitting around. There are also live performances and movie nights that go on, so just make sure to log onto their website and double check what's going on the evening you decide to visit. This was by far one of the best trips I've had in my life and I can't wait to be back!

We live on a farm. So, initially, I wasn't taken with the idea of eating on a farm. I can do that at home for less money. However, we were traveling and we wanted something different, so we drove a bit out of the way to Suncrest. This is a very casual and relaxing place, set amidst the beautiful bluffs and valleys of the Wisconsin Mississippi River country. They could use better signage and instructions. It wasn't clear to us, from driving up, whether they were open or not. You have to continue past the house to the parking in the rear. That's where the barn and food is located. We happened to hit on the second Saturday, during the summer, when they are serving small, 8-inch wood fired pizzas and some other unique food items from their garden cafe. There was a long, slow moving line when we arrived. It seemed to take a lot longer to order than it should. It's not obvious what you're supposed to do once you order, but they hand you a bucket with a number on it, a mason jar filled with water, and then it's your job to go find a seat, or move tables and chairs to make yourself comfortable on the farm. You can either eat inside or out. Outside it more enjoyable, as you can watch the chickens running around, pet the pygmy goats, see the ducks, and watch the shadows from the clouds pass over the green covered bluffs in the distance. It's quite tranquil. In time, our pizzas arrived. They were quite good, with a generous amount of cheese. Don't expect crisp crust. It was more like a soft New York style pizza. You could fold the crust easily if you wanted. It was delicious. Unfortunately, there was no live music the evening we arrived. That's on certain Friday nights during the summer. If you want to know what's happening on certain nights, definitely give them a call before you go. There are outhouses for use here. If that bothers you, go before you arrive. This is nice alternative. I think it would especially appeal to families. The children can play on the playground equipment and watch the animals while the adults enjoy their meal.

Take the time to drive to this place !!! It's magical beautiful setting, relaxing and fun. We are so glad that this place was recommended to us by the World Cup Coffee place in Fountain City. We lucked out with gorgeous weather! The pizza here is the best I've ever had !!! We ordered the house pesto 16" and we demolished it hahaha The drink selection is awesome with great variety. Loved our date night here it's one that we will be talking about for years to come.

This is my favorite pizza farm. Out out of town guests are always impressed. Bring a lawn chair and be ready go to chill and enjoy the outdoors. There is typically a campfire going and live music. Alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages are available for sale as well as various appetizers and of course wood fired pizza! Everything is made with fresh local ingredients. Expect a wait for the pizza as this place gets very crowded. The pizza is worth the wait. In addition to traditional toppings, there is also a seasonal pizza or two. We had a Hawaiian, a BBQ chicken (minus the onions), Mushrooms & Herb, and a Supreme. They were all scrumptious!

I visited the pizza farm Thursday night around 5pm. Unfortunately it was drizzling when we arrived, so we chose to sit inside. There were not many other people visiting the farm that evening which was nice. Inside the building there are 3 sets of banquet tables with chairs. We ordered chips & salsa, mason jar sangria & a small classic pizza with red sauce & sausage. Sangria was delicious! I liked that the pizza came in the "green box". If you forgot plates the top of the box is perforated to tear into 4 plates. Everything we ate was amazing! Must get the s'more kits to make at the fire pit after dinner. They offer two different options: Hershey chocolate bar or Reese's. Each s'mores kit comes with 2 marshmallows, 2 graham crackers & the choice chocolate. The weather cleared up after eating our pizza & we were able to make our s'mores by the fire. Pay attention to the way you drive in... Little to no cell service. Cell phone GPS could not connect on our way out. Will definitely be back!

This place is magical. We traveled 4 hours from Milwaukee to eat here and we're not disappointed in the slightest. The drive in is like no other. Dead center in gorgeous valleys of driftless farmland. Rolling fields of vegetables and sunflowers. Pigs, chickens, cows, goats, and little bird we couldn't ID but were adorable nevertheless. Exiting the car we could hear music and laughter. I'm getting stoked just thinking about that moment. The staff is extremely friendly and are happy to talk about everything the farm has to offer. It was packed that evening (the woman who took our order said they were probably going to sell a record amount of pizzas) but such a wonderful ambiance. Smiles everywhere. We ordered the Sunshine and Summertime Love pizzas, which were seasonal and gosh dang delicious. Couldn't have been happier. Final and important note: gentlemen, the urinals are around the back of the small building housing the bathrooms. Don't wait in line for the bathrooms that face the eating area. That's for ladies and families and the little girls waiting in line behind you will laugh. At least that's what happened to me. :)

Absolutely worth the drive. Cell phone service is spotty out there, which is actually preferrable for me as everyone needs to actually talk to each other! Bring along chairs to sit in. Pizza is amazing, people are so friendly. I make any excuse to get out there, and I live in St. Paul.

A very relaxing atmosphere can be found here, not to mention delicious wood fired pizza! Lots of activities to keep kids busy with a play area for them to run and play with other kids! The pizza is made with the freshest ingredients possible grown on the farm!

FRESH- I think they run into the gardens and pick your toppings after you order. It tastes so fresh. Unique- Order the basic pizzas you're used to or get creative with their "in season" specials. On this trip I had the BLT. They also have a nice variety of beer and wine. Atmosphere- Outdoor seating (indoor seating optional), lots of space to spread out or come with a large group. Most nights there's live music. When the sun sets grab a marshmallow and make a s'more. Con/ or is it...? Be ready to wait a little while for your pizza. Don't go when you're in a rush. This is an eating experience. Not fast food.

If you are in the area you absolutely should stop at this "pizza farm". Fresh ingredients grown on location turned into AMAZING pizza wood fired and ready to eat. The people who work here are SO gracious and welcoming. They have free music, a bar, and bathrooms. They DO NOT have tables or plates or silverware - which is good as long as you know. So pack your picnic blanket or some tables and chairs and your plates and head out there for some AMAZING pizza.

The most enjoyable evening in a long time. Music was superb. Loved the pizza. Drinks were nice. Highly recommend the Sangria and Rhubarb Spritzer. Only improvement would be the Loaded Nachos, which aren't loaded with much. Adorable place. Glad we were kindles and could enjoy some music and good conversation.

Pack your chair, a blanket, plates, and forks to enjoy pizza picnic style. The live music will entertain you while the kids keep busy on one of the many play structures. There are also goats and chickens to set the perfect scene. A wood fired pizza is really the gold standard for crust lovers. The sauce is perfect and the cheese is farm fresh. The pesto pizza is delicious. You must try a specialty-in season pizza. Go crazy you can go back to plain cheese at home. Although, the cheese pizza is equally great here as well. There are drinks for purchase including beer and wine. Go here and enjoy and evening on the farm!

Beautiful scenery, pizza not so much. Wait was 2 hours. Not worth the wait. Music was good, lack of beer choices and you have to wait in the pizza line just to get water. Not organized and not a good system.
