    Acre Bringing Food Samples Downtown for Healthy Bites Festival

    Since opening in late 2014, Acre: Farm-To-Table-To-Go has become one of Clintonville’s most popular go-to spots for fast-casual healthy dining.

    “Acre feels something like a start-up cousin to the Northstar Café,” said CU Food Critic Miriam Bowers Abbott in her 2015 review. “Both have counter service, both promote locally-grown sensibilities. Both have rice bowls on the menu.”

    Acre has come a long way since it first opened, slowly evolving the menu, adding breakfast service, and staying current with seasonal trends. For those interested in checking out the latest that Acre has to offer, they’ll be serving up bite-sized samples at the upcoming Healthy Bites festival on Friday, July 29th.

    “We’ll be serving our quinoa tabouli salad and peanut butter brownie,” said Acre Founder Todd Mills. “Both items are vegan and gluten free. We’ll also be bringing our shrub fruit soda and iced coconut chai as drinks.”

    Healthy Bites will take place from 6pm-9pm at the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. Advance tickets are $30 and will include food samples, live entertainment, participatory yoga demos by Art of Yoga, admission to the current exhibits at The Columbus Museum of Art  and a cash bar.
