GROW HQ
GROW HQ is an award-wining 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
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 cafe, Head of Food, JB Dubois, creatively reuses 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.
