Rooted in Community

Fork and Plough was born from a shared vision to create a dining experience that reconnects people to the origins of their food and to one another. Chef Shawn Kelly, alongside Greenbriar Farms owners Roddy Pick and Chad Bishop, set out to transform locally sourced, seasonal ingredients into an approachable culinary experience grounded in authenticity, trust, and care. Drawing inspiration from the traditions of the family table and the region’s agricultural heritage, the restaurant celebrates food as a catalyst for meaningful connection.

Where Culture Meets Cuisine

The project extends beyond dining to become a community-centered destination where food, storytelling, and local culture intersect. Inspired by the farm’s longstanding tradition of bringing people together through shared meals and live music, Fork and Plough creates an inviting environment that reflects the partners’ commitment to accessibility, craftsmanship, and regional ingredients. The result is a vibrant gathering place that honors the relationships between farmers, chefs, and guests while fostering a deeper connection to the local community.
