KARE 11's Foodie Finds: Green Garden Bakery
Green Garden Bakery is on a mission to change the world—one veggie-infused baked good at a time.
Operated by young entrepreneurs of color from north Minneapolis, Green Garden Bakery follows a unique model: growing vegetables in urban gardens, baking them into healthy treats, packaging them sustainably and selling them through a pay-what-you-can system. All proceeds are reinvested into the local community.
The product line is as innovative as its mission. Every item features an ingredient sourced from one of its three urban gardens.
Green Garden Bakery offers multiple ways for customers to enjoy its products. Online orders, catering services—including specialty wedding and birthday cakes—and a newly launched wholesale program provide convenient purchasing options. Customers can also visit the bakery’s neighborhood storefront, which operates on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, serving fresh-baked goods, coffee, and lemonade.
For those who prefer a more interactive experience, Green Garden Bakery sells its products at farmers’ markets and festivals throughout the Twin Cities. Upcoming sales and events are regularly updated on the organization’s website and social media.
