Everyone at the farm enjoyed spending the day with cousins Francis Garcia and Sal Basille of the Cooking Channel’s ‘Pizza Cuz’ show. The cousins were on a mission to harvest the freshest ingredients for a pizza which was featured on the Rachael Ray Show on the November 9th episode.

Francis and Sal opened Artichoke Basille’s® in New York City in 2008. Having gotten their hands into the business early on working at their family’s restaurant, Basille’s in Staten Island, the boys and their pizza shop have made more than a name for themselves in Manhattan. While growing their pizza empire, they keep busy hosting ‘Pizza Masters’ on the Cooking Channel, a weekly mouthwatering exploration of pizza across the country through the taste buds of these pizza aficionados.
