I had them cater a totally vegan dinner for my 70th birthday and the food was excellent. All of my guests loved it. Emily was very easy to work with and helped me out with the menu suggestions. I would highly recommend her.

Homegrown Kitchen was amazing. We received complements on the quality of the food from the first bite. The team worked very efficiently and left my kitchen spotless. Emily was very easy to work with and our party was pure perfection thanks to her culinary skills. Even my 90 year old mom was impressed, and nothing impresses her these days. We hope to hire them again.

Emily and Lex were simply amazing! They made all the difference to our small wedding ceremony. Both of them were extremely friendly and we loved hanging out with them. The food was incredible. We did a family style dinner as well as brunch. That brought fresh ingredients and shoved some amazing tiramisu as well. Lex made us some mezcal cocktails. All in all, I’ll remember that weekend for a lifetime.
