About Fresh Plate

A Restaurant Built on Relationships.

Founded by Crystal Shay Johnson in the heart of Penns Valley, Fresh Plate is more than a restaurant — it's a celebration of the people who grow our food and the community that gathers at our tables.

Our menu shifts with the seasons. We work directly with nearby farms, dairies, and butchers to bring you ingredients at their peak — prepared simply, with care.
