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

Earth Bistro Cafe is known for its contemporary American cuisine with a Cuban flair. Their menu is packed with delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes and traditional cuisine -- all made with the freshest possible local ingredients. Some of our favorite dishes include the Pickle Fries, Marinated Tofu Wrap, and the Tequila-Lime Grilled Chicken Club.

You also won't want to miss their amazing breakfast every Sunday from 11 am until 3 pm. If you're craving a "cheat meal," this is the perfect place to get one! We recommend the Hot Chicken Fried Steak, Cheese and Sausage Sammy or the Ham, Egg, and Cheese Crepes.
