Est. Waco, Texas
From small-batch cheeses to handcrafted café fare, we're raising the standard of local flavor — one batch at a time.
Our Story
HomeGrown Creamery 1 began with a simple conviction: that Waco deserved a place where craftsmanship meets community, where every wedge of cheese tells a story and every cup of coffee is poured with intention.
We partner with local Texas farms to source the finest milk, then age our cheeses in-house using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The result? A selection you won't find anywhere else in the region — bold, nuanced, and unmistakably local.
Our café is the heart of it all. Whether you're joining us for a morning espresso, a leisurely lunch, or an evening cheese board, we've built a space where good food and good company are never far apart.
