What is a Plated Landscape™ Dinner?
Started in 2006, Plated Landscapes are the brainchild of Chef/Founder/Farmer, Ben Bebenroth. These al fresco dining experiences take place at our farm, Spice Acres, along with other scenic and immersive locations in Northeast Ohio. The evening begins with a welcoming reception with a signature beverage and passed hor d'oeuvres. Then, we’re introduced to the evening's host(s) - the farmers! The group embarks on a 30-45 minute tour of the farm before being seated for a multi-course, wine-paired dinner that incorporates food from our farm and the gems of the season’s harvest. Plated Landscapes are sure to be the most unique dining experience of your summer season! A Plated Landscape is sure to be the most unique dining experience of your summer season!
Venue:
Spice Acres is a unique gem in the country. It’s one of only 9 farms that are part of a farm-leasing program in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park called the Countryside Initiative. Managed in partnership with the Countryside Conservancy, it is the only program in the country that conserves national park land through sustainable farming.
Parking:
On farm - look for signage and attendant.
