Opening Hours
GROW HQ is open Wednesday to Sunday, from 9am to 5pm. We look forward to seeing you soon!
GROW HQ
GROW HQ is an award-winning café and organic garden in Waterford City, and a working model of a sustainable food system. It is a place where there are no barriers between where food is grown, cooked and eaten.
Zero Waste Cafe
Our award-winning zero waste café serves local, organic, seasonal food. The fresh produce grown at GROW HQ is complimented by the finest local meat, poultry, fish and cheese. When using our homegrown food, the distance from plot to plate is 112 steps (yes, we’ve counted!). The garden team grow it, the kitchen team cook it, and our customers eat it.
As a zero waste café, our kitchen team creatively reuse any edible food waste, turning carrot and parsnip skins into crisps, and leftover bits of sourdough bread into a tasty loaf of ‘bread-bread’ (so good, we named it twice). Any food waste that is generated is added to our on-site composting system. The resulting highly nutritious compost is added to the soil in our gardens to help our vegetables and fruit grow. It’s one big circular system.
