The only place in Manitoba where you can order wood fired pizza on the farm

Posted April 25, 2018 | Author Breanne Sewards

They may not offer delivery, but the 35 minute drive north of Gimli to the little community of Riverton is more than worth its weight - in pizza, that is! Integrity Foods is the only place in Manitoba where you can enjoy wood-fired pizza against the backdrop of a little farm on the prairie.

Integrity Foods is a small family-owned farm that cooks up a totally unique culinary experience for all who pass by on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer months.

And it's gaining notoriety. Pizza Night is quickly becoming a family tradition for cabin-goers in the area, who flock to the farm for wood-fired pizza (cooked in a large outdoor oven) made with garden-fresh produce. For those who like a DIY-approach, there is also an option to browse the garden to select your own pizza toppings - what could be more wholesome than that?!

With a family history that dates back to the 1950s in the region, the brains behind the operation, Cornelius and Dora Friesen, started the farm with a passion for homestyle food preparation and organic farming. Over the years, the farm evolved into a bakery and now, a pizzeria.

While the wood-fired pizza will certainly satiate your appetite, don't leave without a loaf or two of their ancient grain bread.

Positive vibes only, Integrity Foods is a charming outing for the whole family (or in my case, adventurous couples). There are plenty of tables scattered throughout the property, with blankets available if a picnic is more your style. Part outdoor restaurant, part petting zoo, much of the appeal of this farm is the company: roosters cock-a-doodle-do, kittens mewl and piglets play alongside diners.

Protip: if coming from Winnipeg, stop into sister bakery Hildegard's to get an introduction to this family's culinary style!
