Who is Green Garden Bakery?:

We are a group of young entrepreneurs from Heritage Park - North Minneapolis who are driven by a passion to change the world one healthy and delicious baked good at a time. Green Garden Bakery grows vegetables in our community garden, bakes them into healthy vegetable-based desserts for every diet (vegan, gluten free, sugar free), and markets them using sustainable practices. We sell the desserts for “pay-what-you-want” and donate our proceeds back into our community. As of 2017, we have launched weekly sales of 5 vegetable based desserts. We are constantly expanding our menu and launching new merchandise. At our sales our desserts are sold in compostable boxes with two servings. For online and catering we offer party boxes serving 16 and specials sizes including birthday and wedding cakes decorated with edible flowers from our garden.

Typically, teens in North Minneapolis and youth of color in general have limited opportunities to be exposed to corporate experiences. Without Green Garden Bakery, myself and my team would not have the opportunity to have a resume filled with business and specialized skills. Green Garden Bakery continues to give back to our community making donations such as purchasing security systems for families in need, sponsoring adult exercises classes, and providing meals for families in need. Additionally Green Garden Bakery promotes healthy food habits in creative ways and allows customers to consume a product that has much more value. As a business that cares about the environment, we have an obligation to spread environmental awareness to help save our planet. Don’t forget you can plant our business cards when you are done with them and grow your own tomatoes. Green Garden Bakery is more than just a business, it is an act of social change.
