    While we anxiously await, we’re giving you a little preview of what you can expect to see there.

    Acre is all about being fresh. Owner and Founder, Todd Mills was inspired to open his farm-to-table restaurant after learning about the bounty of fresh produce grown right here in our state. Working with many local farms, Acre turns out delicious seasonal fare made with fresh Ohio ingredients. When you step into the restaurant, you check out the up-to-date list of farms they are working with! Their meals aren’t just fresh, they are quick, making Acre a great option on the go! They will be serving up two delicious salads at this year’s Healthy Bites: Quinoa Tabouli and their current seasonal option the Catalan Salad. For more information, visit www.acretogo.com.

    Franklinton Gardens began in 2007 as a single community garden on a vacant lot and has grown into a thriving network of gardens and food production sites scattered throughout the neighborhood’s urban landscape. They offer a wide range of garden-based activities, educational programs, and employment opportunities in order to empower neighbors and build a healthy community. Stop by their table at Healthy Bites to learn about growing food in an urban setting and creating beauty through urban agriculture. For more information, visit franklintongardens.org.
