We are excited to welcome Green + the Grain to downtown Rochester and Peace Plaza.

This new location adds to the energy and vibrancy of our downtown, offering a fresh, health-forward dining option for residents, workers, and visitors. Green + the Grain is also a recipient of the Main Street Economic Revitalization Grant, which supports local businesses investing in our downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

Learn more about Green + the Grain here:

When Tiffany Hauser first rolled her Green + the Grain food truck onto the streets of Minneapolis in 2014, she recognized an unmet need: fast, healthy food options in downtown business districts.
