GRANDVIEW, Mo. â While the pandemic has forced many restaurants to close, a mother and son teamed up to open a farm-to-table restaurant and brewery under one roof in Grandview, Missouri.
Michelle and Nolan Brown opened The Chive Cafe and Transparent Brewing Company in August. Michelle runs the restaurant and Nolan is in charge of the brewery.
Michelle explained they broke ground on the new building in the summer of 2019, well before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. She said the only way to pay back the construction loan and mortgage was to open the restaurant and brewery despite the pandemic.
