At HomeGrown we believe in Local when it’s better’ so we seek out and partner with local food purveyors, dairy farmers, bee hivers, etc.

who share our commitment to freshness, quality, and community - even our tabletops and booths are made in KC! And we do it all while Cultivating Kindness with the basic idea that being considerate, polite, and NICE matters just as much as serving great eggs and tasty bacon
