Grassroots Woodfired Pizza
Farm living is a way of life. It’s living based on the seasons. It’s eating what’s growing in the garden in the summer and what’s been preserved in the winter. It’s enjoying sunrises with coffee in hand & falling asleep under a sky full of stars. It’s a homegrown lifestyle. It doesn’t get any more authentic than this.

Grassroots Woodfired Pizza
Our History
Vicky & Roger Morrison own farmland just outside of Lucknow, Ontario. It’s one of the few remaining farms that still retains the same family name as the original Crown deeded in 1855. Five generations are deeply rooted here on this century homestead.
Wanting to add a creative twist to their roadside farm stand on Friday afternoons, the idea of a Woodfired Pizza was born.
On a huge 4 foot stump, our first cob oven was built out of clay, sand, straw and water. It gave us the opportunity to explore this new idea while sparking the interest of the summer travellers and the local community. As with anything the oven soon began to crumble, eventually falling in, which lead us to the next oven a small stainless steel oven.
Still loving the pizza path we continued to make pizzas mostly for our family and friends until Vicky convinced Roger that a bigger mobile oven should be built to take out into the community and so our next oven hand crafted by Roger on a old 10 x10’ snowmobile trailer made with layers of cement and brick equipped with a hand washing sink no less. It was a success, and little did we know that this was the beginning of a beautiful journey into the world of Pizzas!
Today, Roger keeps busy through winter with endless farm projects, and as the sun warms the land in late spring, Grassroots Farm transforms into the home of the Woodfired Pizza. We now have two handmade pizza ovens - a clay & brick oven at the farm & a stainless steel oven in the mobile pizza trailer. In 2021, our son Blair & his partner Courtney brought their creative talents and joined the family pizza business. Since their return, the business has grown in unimaginable ways -including providing more opportunity for people to enjoy our beautiful farm through our on-farm accommodations! Together we are an unstoppable team here at the farm!
Eating on the farm is a unique food experience designed to celebrate good, sustainable food. We believe that food should be fun and exciting while indulging your inner foodie. We love working with our local farmers and producers, we are inspired by our surroundings to create a Pizza menu that will tantalize your taste buds. This is the heart of who we are and our community is all who join us in sharing our backyard bounty.
