Fresh and Local, Part III: Pizza made to order at the farmers markets!

     I have been hearing a tremendous buzz lately about these amazing looking pizzas that are being made to order at local farmers markets across the state. They are cooked on a portable wood fired clay oven by a group called "Farm to Hearth" that started up last year.
     Here is their motto: "Farm to Hearth was established in order to showcase our passion for wood fired baking and bring honest, uncompromised food into the community. We are committed to sourcing our ingredients from small scale local farms that utilize sustainable growing practices.This is our philosophy for two reasons: First, to support the farms that are committed to caring for our precious land so it remains fertile for generations to come. Second, to provide our local community with the freshest, most nutrient packed food possible. Food that has not been treated with chemicals or preservatives, sat in warehouses or had been shipped from another part of the world."
      Sounds delicious to me! I can't wait to try them, I am getting hungry looking at the pictures of their pizza creations online. And since I missed today's appearance at Billings Forge Farmers Market in Hartford, I might try to catch them in Coventry this Sunday at the Nathan Hale Homestead farmers market from 11-2. I advise you to try to catch them as well, we'll nosh together and compare tasting notes.
