8 farm-to-table dining experiences in Wisconsin this summer
Savor the taste of green acres and farm living at a farm-to-table dining event, and help support farm families and local producers.

Frozen pizza pioneer, Palermo’s Pizza, expands its horizons
Last summer, Palermo’s Pizza announced plans to open a new manufacturing location. Now, with operations well underway, Nick Fallucca, Chief Product and Innovation Officer, provides an update on the company’s progress and another new expansion project. “The expansion effort is developing nicely. Last summer we expanded our facility network into Jefferson, WI, which is just West of Palermo’s headquarters in Milwaukee. Our Jefferson facility is used for pizza topping lines. We also recently announced another expansion project, a local spot in West Milwaukee just five minutes from our headquarters. It’s nice and close and we’ll be hiring from our local community, which is always a bonus. We’re in the middle of the construction process, trying to figure out what needs to go where in terms of plant and equipment. It’s an exciting time, for sure.”
