The American Harvest restaurant in Springfield, Illinois celebrates the farmer and supports locally grown products. On May 24th, American Harvesteatery  offered a wonderful six-course meal that Chef’s Jordan and Aurora Coffey was aptly titled, “First Harvest”.  The food on the menu celebrated the first harvest of spring and my husband and I enjoyed every bite!

American Harvest’s motto is “True to the Season, True to the Region” and their goal is a simple one, to offer the freshest ingredients, sourced from local farmers in Illinois.

The “First Harves” meal t was created by the coordination of a group of chefs and servers that worked together to bring the menu from farm to table!  The next scheduled meal will be with a New York theme. “We do this every month and always on a Thursday,” Chef Jordan said.
