Plated Landscape™: Wild Roots + Shoots

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:
Wild Roots + Shoots invites guests to celebrate the vibrant flavors of spring in Northeast Ohio. Set against a lush backdrop, this dinner showcases the season’s best—tender asparagus, earthy ramps, wild mushrooms, and fresh herbs, foraged and harvested at their peak. Guests will enjoy a curated, multi-course menu highlighting these local treasures, paired with thoughtfully selected wines. This immersive experience celebrates the renewal of spring and the beauty of our region’s natural bounty.

About the Venue:

Spice Acres is a unique gem in the country. It’s one of only 11 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.
