What are your favorite foods and drinks? When I think about my favorite food and drink, I think of my favorite memories. I think of waking up in the summers to the smell of buttermilk pancakes on the griddle, coﬀee brewing, and the sound of my grandmother, mother, and aunt talking in the kitchen. I think of swimming at the town pool and working up a huge appetite, after which my other grandmother would serve us bowls of fresh blueberries and strawberries that had ripened up in the summer sun to the point where they would explode once they hit our tongues. I think of our neighbors in the small town of Summerton that would generously hang bags of deep red, juicy tomatoes on our fence from their garden, and I couldn’t wait to slice them and enjoy them on white bread with mayonnaise. I think of the summer months during my childhood that were spent foraging for blackberries, muscadines, and pears. Years later, I still forage for blackberries and muscadines, and I’m delighted to have my own garden and chickens. I’ve broken up the ground, watered, harvested, and fed my family from the Earth. Living this way has given me a deep appreciation of where our food comes from and even more so the people that make a living growing, preparing, roasting, cooking, baking, hosting, and serving. I have so much respect and admiration for them. They grow thousands of acres of crops, cater events that host thousands of people, serve a consistently amazing menu night in and night out, go to bed dreaming of the flavors they are going to prepare, and every morning, they unlock the doors ready to do it all over again. I’m in awe of them. So this summer, I invite you to indulge. Indulge by living within the season and enjoy the dreamy flavors of fresh produce, locally crafted beer, homemade ice cream, and tasty dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Visit these businesses and taste all that our incredible city has to oﬀer. Cheers!

Authentic: Jimmy Stevenson J I M M Y S T E V E N S O N ’ S FAT H E R WA S B O R N I N 1 8 9 9 and worked as a tenant farmer. With hard work, dedication, and an entrepreneurial spirit, he developed multiple businesses and a restaurant. For as long as Jimmy can remember, his parents had a garden at their home. His father tended to the garden and his mother canned the produce. Sunday lunch was an important tradition in their home where they all enjoyed the fruits of their labors—from tasty greens and crabapple jelly to southern fried chicken. Jimmy recalls that one of his favorite pastimes with his father was fishing. After a day of fishing, they would start up a fire, heat some oil on a skillet, and his father would mix together corn meal, river water, and a pinch of salt. They would then fry up their catch of the day and together enjoy their simple meal of fish and cornbread. When you hear of Jimmy’s childhood, you can see how much of an impact it’s had on him— it’s no wonder that his catering business, Southern Way Catering, is known for their Catfish Bites! Entrepreneurism runs through Jimmy’s veins. After 35+ years, Southern Way has become a brand that has fed thousands upon thousands of people, from huge black tie galas to intimate family gatherings. Underneath the Southern Way brand is The Millstone at Adams pond, a historical event venue that sits on acres of natural beauty just outside of downtown Columbia. Be on the lookout for something special coming in the next year from Adams Pond—Jimmy is getting back to his roots of farming and canning. You’ll be able to purchase some famous Stevenson Crabapple Jelly and dine at The Private Table at Adams Pond. But what makes Jimmy and Southern Way Catering so special is that he cares about the people that he works with. You’d never know that he’s the owner just by watching him. He takes out the trash and rides in the back of the truck, just to ensure that someone else is comfortable. He looks for heart when hiring and understands that the demands of the hospitality industry are taxing. Jimmy strongly believes in giving back to the community as well, and through his partnership with Sistercare and their annual Songbird Café fundraiser, has helped raise over $1.5 million for the organization.

AT F I G , W E B E L I E V E in the power of a community that works together to identify needs and find solutions— one that creates connections and is passionate about helping its neighbors. For our 2018 Social Mission Partner, we’ve chosen Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services (PAALS), an impactful non-profit whose good works contribute immensely to our thriving, local community. A P PA R E L , ACCESSORIES & SHOES FROM Mignonne Gavigan Marie Oliver Misa Los Angeles Black Halo Hutch Twine & Twig Show Me Your Mumu

PAALS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is committed to enriching and empowering children and adults with physical disabilities and social needs by training service animals and providing animal assisted educational and recreational activities. Did you know? It takes two years, over $25,000, and hundreds of volunteer and staff hours to fully train a PAALS dog. This is where

you and your company can help by becoming a corporate sponsor of PAALS. Every sponsorship will help keep each PAALS dog healthy and will help ensure that they are prepared for the extremely important jobs that they’ll be performing upon graduation. The Hood Team, of Coldwell Banker, has been a corporate sponsor of PAALS for over a year. They have enjoyed being able to watch the dogs that wear their company logo grow from puppies into fully trained PAALS dogs. As a corporate sponsor, you’ll see each dog nurtured with love, trained by professionals, and partnered with passion on every step of their journey. It’s a truly rewarding way to give back to the community!

Have you wondered where the local produce that you find in the produce section at your grocery store actually comes from? Much of it comes from right down the road, from a family-owned farm. In the early 1920s, Walter and Ernestine Rawl started a local small crop farm known as the Walter P. Rawl Farms in Pelion, South Carolina. The farm has evolved over the nearly 100 years since it first began and is now nationally known as a farm that harvests the freshest, highest quality produce

while putting both innovation and sustainability at the forefront of their business. Despite the growth, WP Rawl Farms has always remained a “family farm” and has 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation family members involved in the day-today operations on the farm. WP Rawl Farms, with a team of over 900 employees, manages every aspect of the crops that they grow. From selecting the finest seeds to planting hardy seedlings, harvesting healthy crops, cooling and storing the produce, and

distributing their products from Florida to Maine to Texas to Iowa, WP Rawl takes care of their harvest from the very beginning until it hits the shelves in your local grocery store. The next time you’re throwing together a kale salad, cooking collard greens for your Sunday supper, or adding cilantro to your homemade salsa, rest assured that your produce was grown especially for you right here in our community.

Columbia’s breweries have crafted great local brews that are quickly becoming well-known throughout the state and beyond. These places are more than just the beers that they brew, though. Each brewery has an atmosphere and vibe all of their own. Some offer yoga classes or running clubs, some have great open spaces for children to play, some give you scenic views of airplanes taking off and landing, and some even welcome your dogs (and your giant tortoises!)
