Apparently modern times have caught up to AtoZ (or A to Z) Produce and Bakery, Stockholm, Wisconsin. They now a real web site, and not just a Facebook page (which is run by a fan, not by A to Z themselves).
As far as I know, A to Z was the original "pizza farm." One of their slogans seems to be, "Made where it's grown."
There is a section of my oven businesses links just for A to Z (currently here, but you may need to search for "Stockholm, WI" if the headings change).
They were also the first location that was a destination for a field trip by the Saint Paul Bread Club, way back in 2004, not long after the club was formed.
I think this the place that got me interested in pizza baked in a wood-fired brick oven.
A to Z had been trying to keep a low profile; they have appeared in newspaper articles, but without mentioning their address or giving directions.
Since they have their own web site now, and provide their address and directions, I feel like I can lift the embargo about talking about them.
7/7/11: A to Z was mentioned in an article in the StarTribune about food destinations south and southeast
of the Twin Cities.
8/2/11: Was told that there was a blog post about them on the Pizza Quest blog.
8/24/11: I was there on 8/23, and by about 6:25 p.m., they were serving pizza #131. They had been making more than 1 pizza per minute for the first two hours of business. The rate was probably about ready to drop because fewer people were showing up in line for pizza.
