This small grocery market is located in the cargo district. Indoor is a small business called Bones that sells healthier dog treats and upcycle toys. There is also going to be a wine bottle shop inside called Bottles that will open soon. Homegrown sells local products and focuses on sustainability. There wasn't too much variety of produce when I was there. The produce prices are at least twice as much as grocery store prices but they are higher quality/locally grown. There are also "bulk" organic dried herbs and spices, flours, rice, beans and grains, including chickpea flour, sprouted whole grain flour, cacao powder, chia seeds, pink Himalayan salt, baking soda, arrowroot. These are not bulk bins, more of around 32 oz glass sized containers. I imagine if you only need a tablespoon or so of the spice or a cup of beans, this would work out for you. You can bring your own container or they have a glass containers available. Other products are local Taste the Olive olive oil, elderberry syrup, vanilla extract, honey, Kind Cultures, eggs, meats, sweets. For skincare there is bulk deodorant, tooth powder, and tea. Reverse osmosis water is available for $0.40 per gallon or free for single serving refills. This would be good market for those that live close by looking for organic, local, and sustainable products. read more

I decided to stop into Homegrown when I was in the Cargo district. It is right next to Bottles (a great wine and beer spot). Homegrown Market itself is a "grocery store and market featuring local producers with an eye on sustainability and good health." They did have some great items inside and had items that you could bring in your own container to fill up with whatever the item was you were needing. Their produce was limited, but what they had looked fresh and delicious. They also sold many of the products from vendors that I see at the local farmers market at Poplar Grove. It is not necessarily something that I would go out of my way to stop at, however, if I was in the area, I would go back and check it out. read more

HHomegrown is small grocery market located in the cargo district. It is not listed on the Cargo Districts website so think it is on the outskirts of the district. It is in a building that includes two other small business: Bones which sells healthier dog treats and upcycle toys and Bottles, a wine and beer bar (not opened yet). They are located at is 615 S 15th St. The building contains three business: Homegrown, Bones and Bottles only Homegrown and Bones are currently open, I think they said they have been open for six weeks and Bottles hopes to open within thin the next month. I was there as a result of being on the Wait List for a Yelp Elite Event for Bones. They have a good selection of fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheeses all sourced from local farms. While I was there, the owners were negotiating with the wine distributors of Bottles to expand their wine inventory. They have plenty of room in their coolers for expansion The owner of Bottles was covering for the owner of Homegrown while she was negotiating, it seems they are all working to see that their business succeeds. I am a big supporter of new business, especially when I see this type of cooperation. read more

I was really excited to check this place out but it definitely didn't live up to my expectations due to a very limited selection of basic necessities and severely lacking customer service. Homegrown Market is an organic and local-centric grocery store and art market located in The Cargo District. Since we always choose organic and local groceries for our household, I thought this would be a great fit for some of our basic necessities. This is a small shop so there's not a huge selection to begin with, and many of the items that are available are either not organic or they are specialty items. This is definitely not somewhere I would shop for basic essentials as they didn't seem to have anything that we would use. This is however a great place to find specialty items. As for the customer service, it's absolutely horrendous. Usually when you shop local, you get much higher quality customer service, but that's definitely not the case here. I was in urgent need of a specific item that Homegrown Market advertised via social media that they sell. I wanted to confirm it was in stock before making the trip over to them since it was a decent way out of the way for me, so I tried calling 5 different times with no answer every single time. I had left a voicemail that was never returned. I sent an email to the email address provided on their social media with no response. I finally got a response after a few days when I reached out on social media and was told that they always carry the item and I do not need to call and check first. I went in to the shop, and the item was not there. The woman working at the time said she doesn't even know when they get that item in, maybe once or twice a month but it's very random. It's a good thing I ended up combining this errand with another one located in The Cargo District or I would have made a trip of about 45 minutes including both ways for nothing due to the misinformation I was given. Overall, I am pretty disappointed with my experience here. In the future, I may stop by again when I'm already in the area to see what's in stock, but I definitely would not go out of my way to shop here. You can get anything that they have here plus so much more (including organic and local items) at other shops like Tidal Creek Co-Op. This place is really cute and unique both inside and out and has potential but would really need to offer more items that people actually need and much better customer service. read more

I was shopping in the cargo district today and planned to stop and get some potato's from the Homegrown Market . I had been once before right when it opened. It has changed a lot. I enjoyed the vibe and merchandise. They did have potato's and some food but I was expecting a bit more produce considering the name and the mural on the side of the building. It has a bar attached and local brews. Pretty cool place! Oh, it's also pet friendly! read more

Great small size, local market. It's got a little variety of many things but it did have a wide array of spices. Located right next to a bar. This place definitely is a great little place for anyone. Easy access parking, very friendly staff and great public bathrooms. read more

I enjoyed Homegrown very much. As part of the Cargo District, this new addition is super cute. They have very unique things such as chèvre cheese and vegan cheeses. I love all of the different local items and produce. They have artwork, and different things other than food. I bought a Grateful Dead sticker today, too! I really love the fact that is inside animal friendly! read more
