Call Directions Website

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.

Things Mick apparently forgot to use when ordering our new sign 🧐
1. His glasses
2. A tape measure

Anyway in case you couldn’t see the sign, GROW HQ and the Farm Shop are now OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK.

You literally can’t miss us…
