Get excited farm-to-fork foodies… Today’s the day — the kickoff to Motor Supply Co. Bistro’s 8th Annual Harvest Week (June 16-21)! Join friends and local farmers at the Meet the Farmer Happy Hour from 5:30 — 7:00 p.m. Head Barman Josh Streetman will debut his eccentrically delicious Harvest Week Cocktail List for guests to enjoy while mingling with local farmers. Each cocktail is specially designed to highlight the flavors and ingredients of each farm, and to complement the dishes coming out of the kitchen.

Harvest Week features an all-local, farm-focused dinner menu of artfully crafted dishes honoring fresh S.C. ingredients and the farmers behind them, as well as a limited edition Harvest Week Cocktail List. Motor Supply hosts Harvest Week annually to celebrate the restaurant’s year-round relationships with small, local and sustainable Midlands farms.

As a little preview into the week, below you will find Executive Chef Wes Fulmer’s 13 featured purveyors and menu teasers.
