- Hard_Space 2y agoThis is region-locked to the US.
- nubinetwork 2y agoLoaded for me, but I got a paywall at first... worked fine in an incognito tab.
- tjpnz 2y agoOk in JP.
- Danieru 2y agoFinally, the alliance pays off.
- SargeDebian 2y agoProbably just not available in the EU because they would violate privacy regulations.
- anonzzzies 2y agoNot sure why a US only company would try to comply or do anything; the eu cannot force or fine them so why not just leave the site open?

- layer8 2y agoIf the site serves ads in the EU, then by definition they are doing business there and are finable.

- UberFly 2y agoThis is appealing in that it rips us away from our modern "connected but alone" vices. We should all be making an effort more often to connect over pizza - or whatever.
- jinushaun 2y agoEnjoyed this in upstate New York years ago. Apple orchard started serving pizzas in addition to hard apple cider. The pizzas are great—better than they should be. Now the pizza is the destination. Great concept.
- 1123581321 2y agoWe were just at one of these near Beloit. A family member’s band had a small gig. They sell about 100 pizzas on weekends they’ve booked a band. During weekdays, they have limited hours for their store (produce, etc.), and occasionally have breakfast hours. It’s a real farm, but the acreage is small so they also have day jobs. It didn’t occur to me that it might be a Wisconsin thing and I still suspect these exist everywhere, because the trend seems more about it being easy to buy and install wood-fired pizza ovens, to make and market new Pinterest-ish outdoor event venues, and to work remote jobs that support hobby farming.

- Heliosmaster 2y agoyes, any time you're burning wood you're climate unfriendly. But a lot of other things are climate unfriendly: where do you live what's the energy source breakdown? It's all renewable? Your computer was manufactured and furnaces were involved at some point: what about their emission? It's CO2 all the way down. You should look at all of this relatively: from an absolute standpoint, humanity isn't good for the planet
- randomdata 2y ago> humanity isn’t good for the planet CO2 levels were at least an order of magnitude higher millions of years ago. Perhaps that is better and humanity is actually improving the planet? Who is to say what is good for a planet? Humanity may not be good for humanity.

- jimnotgym 2y agoI know it's a very arty way of writing, but could it not get to the point? What is a pizza farm?
- pech0rin 2y agoIts in the first few paragraph, did you even read it? Also sort of obviously its a farm that sells pizza.
- jimnotgym 2y agoI refer you to the hn guidelines, 'did you even read it' is considered off limits. Yes it is obviously a farm that sells pizza, but doesn't that begin to pose follow up questions for you? It is a pretty incongruous scene. Farms rear animals, grow crops and generally trade wholesale. They are also pretty remote.
- bombcar 2y agoSmall farms rarely do much action wholesale, because they can make a lot more money retail - either farmer's markets, or community supported agriculture, or honey, or something else - like this. And while lots of large farms are miles from anywhere, many farms are only a few minutes outside of major cities - commuting farms (or more and more, work from home farms).
