Plated Landscape™: Spice Field Kitchen Farm-Warming

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 signature beverage and passed hors d'oeuvres. Then, we’re introduced to the evening's host(s) - the stewards of the land! The group embarks on an immersive experience of the location and is then seated for a multi-course, wine-paired dinner that incorporates food from our farm and the gems of the season’s harvest.

About this Dinner:
A rich history and a promising future converge at Stearns Native Nursery for an unforgettable evening. Nestled within Parma’s historic property, managed by West Creek Conservancy, the Spice Field Kitchen’s Learning Garden provides the perfect setting to celebrate the land's story and its evolution. Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated menu highlighting the vibrant summer bounty—juicy heirloom tomatoes, a rainbow of peppers, fragrant herbs, and more—while immersing themselves in the beauty and significance of this pristine, bucolic space. It’s a celebration of what was, what is, and what’s yet to come.

About the Venue:

Stearns Native Nursery, located on 16 acres in Parma, Ohio, is a sustainable urban nursery dedicated to propagating native wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. Managed by West Creek Conservancy in partnership with the City of Parma, Cuyahoga County, and the Cuyahoga Soil & Water Conservation District, the nursery aims to restore the urban tree canopy and promote biodiversity in Northeast Ohio.
