Join Motor Supply Co. Bistro and local farmers during the farm-to-fork restaurant’s signature annual event, Harvest Week!
Harvest Week will take place from June 7th to June 12th! Harvest Week will feature an especially innovative, hyper-local dinner menu each evening by Chef Wes Fulmer and an imaginative cocktail list by Head Barman Josh Streetman.
Kick off Harvest Week with Meet the Farmer Happy Hour on Tuesday, June 7 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.! It will be a mixer with local growers whose products are featured on Harvest Week menus and in Motor Supply’s dishes year-round; featuring cash bar and complimentary special treats from a local purveyor.
Wine from “Farms, not Factories”
Harry Root, President of Grassroots Wine, will be on-site at Motor Supply during Meet the Farmer Happy Hour to offer guests a variety of sustainably-produced wines for tasting. Root – who travels the world in search of the finest farmer-produced wines – has been working with Chef Fulmer to curate a wine tasting that will best complement the Harvest Week dinner menu.
