Spice Acres is a 13-acre farm managed by chef/farmer Ben Bebenroth, founder of Cleveland’s Spice Catering Co. and Spice Field Kitchen. The farm creates a direct link between the culinary teams and the evolving harvest, supplying seasonal produce and heritage pork to Bebenroth’s catering and restaurant operations. Focusing on chef-driven farming, Spice Acres hosts farm-to-table dinners and workshops.
