Welcome to our neighborhood!!

Congrats to Kamal Mohamed, owner of Parcelle Organics for being named in the Minneapolis-St Paul Business Journal 40 Under 40!

"Kamal Mohamed has been feeding people in the Twin Cities since he immigrated to the United States from Ethiopia as a 10-year-old. Then, he was working on his family’s food truck, but now, the 36-year-old entrepreneur/chef/restaurateur busies himself opening buzzworthy restaurants and developing tantalizing snacks.

Mohamed launched the Minnesota Food Truck Fair in 2011 with 10 food trucks and 5,000 attendees. In three years, he grew the event to more than 40 trucks and 45,000 attendees before selling to a private group.

In 2021, Mohamed brought a taste of Ethiopia to the Twin Cities, opening the much-acclaimed Stepchld in Northeast Minneapolis, which has since closed. In between, Mohamed opened the organic clean eating cafe Parcelle Organics in Northeast Minneapolis in 2024, with plans for a downtown location this spring. He is also the co-founder of Gallant Tiger, a company that is developing a line of crustless peanut butter sandwiches with premium jelly flavors, including blueberry lemon thyme and strawberry cardamom."

Kamal Mohamed of Parcelle Organics is a 2026 40 Under 40 honoree. Here's why:
