Join the Pizza Party with Maren Beard of Luna Valley Farm

Sarah Davis

Jun 29, 2023

“Pizza’s the perfect canvas for local food.”

~Maren Beard

After we released the first season, so many of you expressed a special interest in pizza farms, we wanted to share more of the conversation I had with Maren Beard earlier this year. In this bonus episode, Maren and I discuss Luna Valley Farm’s approach to farming, why Tom and Maren Beard decided to begin a pizza farm and the downstream effects of farming.

We hope you subscribe to our Substack, if you haven’t already, for some behind the scenes notes from the episodes and stories of Iowans we admire. Find us at warmlyia.substack.com.
