Come to the prairie on Friday nights June 2 – September 29 for handmade-from-scratch brick oven pizza packed with straight-from-the-farm veggies & local meats! House-made sides, desserts and a signature drink are all crafted from the garden produce harvested just steps away from the kitchen. Beer, wine and soft drinks available, too. Live music from 5:30 to 9 pm (5 to 8:30 pm in September). There’s plenty of room for yard games; bring your own or borrow ours. Walk the prairie path and enjoy the outdoor art along the way: 5 permanent sculptures + the temporary Prairie Art exhibit. Seating is limited, so bring your own lawn chairs and blankets.

Reservations required for this award-winning event. Reservations open Spring 2023.

Arrival/Reservations: The grounds are open for visitors at any time during the day, but each group attending Pizza on the Prairie must reserve an ordering time. All ages are welcome, and a ticket is required for anyone age 12+. If tickets are sold out, check back often as there can be changes. Tickets routinely open up on Fridays. Call 641.337.5019 or email Lisa if you’d like to be on the wait list.

Deposit: To make check-in and ordering easier, no deposit is required. A deposit might be reinstated later if a significant number of expected guests don’t attend. Please understand that we release a limited number of tickets each week so no-shows greatly impact our event and nonprofit operations.
