Farmer Cheese Blackberry Pizza

From garden to oven, our farmer cheese blackberry pizza is a creative way to use the abundance of berries you’ll pick (or pick up at the farmers market) this spring. Blackberries and farmer cheese are unexpected soulmates that come together beautifully on a bed of sourdough crust with a little fresh basil on top. Each slice is a reminder that magic happens when you try something new.

In addition, kefir made from whole fat milk helps absorb key nutrients such as Vitamins A, D, E, and K. Vitamin K is important because it helps your bones absorb calcium.
