Did you know that food and agriculture is the largest industry in Ohio? With more than 77,000 farms comprising nearly 14 million acres, the Buckeye State is a national leader in more than 35 product sectors.

The highest concentration of farms is in Northeast Ohio, so it's no surprise that the region is rich in farm-to-table dining. Enjoy food the way it was meant to be eaten at these innovative restaurants around Cleveland, Akron, and Canton.

Wolf Creek Tavern

3044 Wadsworth Rd., Norton, OH 44203

While farm-to-table may be a modern concept, Wolf Creek Tavern keeps one foot in the past. The bar, housed in a historic 1830s building, honors their speakeasy legacy with Prohibition-era cocktails made from the original recipes. Wolf Creek's food menu features upscale tavern favorites such as burgers, pasta, and fish and chips made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Hundley Cellars is located on 35 beautiful acres where the owners planted vines years ago. After converting an abandoned ranch house into a winery, they now welcome guests who would like to enjoy and learn about wine in addition to good food. If you'd like to try a sampling, tasting boxes are offered in either sweet to semi-sweet varieties or dry to semi-dry with seven Hundley Cellars wines. Hours are 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, noon-8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon-6 p.m. Sunday.
