GROW HQ Eat. Shop. Grow. Learn. Award-winning café, farm shop & organic gardens with courses, and outdoor dining. Everything we serve in GROW HQ is nutritious and healthy.

GROW HQ encompasses an award-winning café, organic kitchen garden, education centre and working farm in Waterford. It is the home of the GIY movement and a working model of a sustainable food system. But equally important, it’s delicious. We’re not vegetarian but we do have a passion for vegetables. They’re often the undisputed stars of our menu, and rightly so. We celebrate each new harvest - the first peas, the last squash - and avoid out-of-season imports. Which means our menu changes all the time. Sometimes daily. Always delicious.

Good luck to all the runners and walkers in today’s Solas run including our own Monika who is walking in memory of our dear friend and colleague Allen Troy who died last month after a cancer illness. Good luck Monika!! Solas Cancer Support Centre do incredible work here in and beyond supporting families going through difficult times - we will never forget their kindness to us when Allen died.

Magical night at HQ for our September supper club with a menu that celebrated both the end of summer (the last of the tomatoes, courgettes) and start of autumn (squash, apples, leeks).

Thanks to all our supper clubbers and the hq team - Melvin, Eimear, Carter, Shannon, Richenda, Suzie and Evan. And of course to Richard and the garden team for growing the food.

The story continues next month ..!
