HOMEGIRL GARDEN
We have an organic garden to supply fresh vegetables and herbs for our café! After a visit from Chef Alice Waters, we are inspired to eventually become fully organic, focusing on locally grown produce. In collaboration with Dolores Mission Parish, Farmlab, Solano Gardens & Urban Farming we are able to provide organic foods at the café!

HISTORY
Homegirl Café began in 2004 in a 26-seat restaurant and with a kitchen about the size of a postage stamp on 1st Street in Boyle Heights, one block east of the former Homeboy office. There Chef Patricia Zarate trained cooks and wait staff. Today, in the new facility, the café is staffed by 30 young women who are in training to learn the various aspects of the food service industry. Currently we have a group of volunteer consultants helping to develop systems & train staff. |
