September 16!  Pizza!  On the farm!

Cress Spring Pizzeria will be serving them up on Wednesday, September 16, from 4:30 pm until 8:00 pm.

Note the new closing time…as it gets darker earlier, we’ll be closing a bit earlier. We will start having bonfires soon though, so there will still be plenty of warmth as the evenings get chilly. Our last pizza night for the season will be on Wednesday, October 22.

We feature live music every Wednesday, and this week we welcome the Lakeview Ramblers, playing old-time string music that will have you dancing on the lawn.  

 The Whiskey Farm sang some sweet harmonies last week... 

Our menu for this week is below, and it's also posted on our Facebook page. We’ll still have the Duchess dessert pizza, with either peaches or pears, depending on what looks good at the farmer’s market this week. We’re adding cider from Ela Orchard to the beverage menu this week…either hot or cold, depending on the weather.

Here’s how it works. Every Wednesday evening from May until October, we'll be selling flaming hot pizzas and delicious desserts, beer and wine, here at Cress Spring Farm. Picnic on our lawn or take your pizza to enjoy at home. Outdoor seating only - you are welcome to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and warm friends to snuggle with. You should also bring whatever plates, cutlery, etc. that you might need for your picnic. Pizza will be served in boxes, beer and soda in bottles and wine by the bottle or glass. We will have mason jars available for wine, but we encourage you to bring your own. You may supplement your picnic with any salads or other food you wish to bring, but we ask that you not bring your own alcohol. We accept cash, checks, credit cards, and chickens as payment.

We hope to see you soon!
