to the land and culinary traditions. The state is
the nation’s top producer of many agricultural
products, including spring wheat, sunflowers
and honey. Our fare is full of authentic dishes
that preserve our unique heritage, with local
restaurants increasingly incorporating fresh,
North Dakota ingredients straight from
our farms.
And that’s something to celebrate! Check
