June 29!  Pizza!  On the farm!



















Cress Spring Pizzeria will be serving them up on Wednesday, June 29, from 4:30 pm until 9:00 pm. 


Important!!! Although we are serving pizza this week, we will be on vacation the following week, so there will be no pizza on July 6!!!

For our musical entertainment this week, we’re very excited to welcome the North Westerns. Channeling Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, and Lefty Frizell, the North Westerns will be bringing their brand of western swing and old school country to our front lawn. Come and get your Texas two-step on!

The Lakeview Ramblers



















It’s high summer, which means it’s time to bring back the classic Margherita. Keeping it simple, with fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil, grown here at Cress Spring Farm. Hard to get any fresher. We will also have a special Mystery Surpise pizza this week, but it remains a mystery even to me. I think béchamel sauce will be involved. That’s all I can say.


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. 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.  


Our menu for this week is below, and it's also posted on our Facebook page. 
We hope to see you soon!

Cress Spring Pizzeria will be serving them up on Wednesday, June 15, from 4:30 pm until 9:00 pm. 

For our musical guest this week, we’re excited to welcome Farmony, a singalong band that will play a variety of (mostly) very well known tunes from country, folk, rock, disco, easy listening, tv/movie theme songs, old timey gospel, ballads, parodies, barn burners, and obscure Norwegian folk songs. They could cover Johnny Cash or Iron Maiden or Neil Diamond or Twisted Sister. Anything could happen. 

Down From the Hills, with homemade bass




















This will be the last week for the Thai Chicken pie until fall. Get one while you can! We have a few new additions to the beer menu also…Potosi Czech Pilsner, Arena Premium Pale Ale from Lake Louis, and Bedlam IPA from Ale Asylum all make their debuts this week.

Here’s how it works.
