Owner’s Bio

Hello, I’m Aminatta Jagne, founder of Aminta’s Homemade Homestead LLC. My business is inspired by the rich culinary traditions of The Gambia and Senegal, where I grew up surrounded by bold flavors, vibrant dishes, and a culture that values food as a way to bring people together. Cooking has always been more than just preparing meals for me; it’s a way of sharing my heritage and telling stories through flavors.

Before launching my business, I worked in the restaurant industry in Michigan for almost 18 years as a server. After moving to Murfreesboro TN in 2012, I took different career paths but was continuously drawn back to the food industry. In 2021, after what started as her passion in gardening and showcasing farm-to-table meals, Aminta's Homemade Homestead was born, due to the need for a West African Restaurant in Murfreesboro.

I started Aminta’s Homemade Homestead to celebrate and share authentic Senegambian cuisine with my community. Every dish I create is rooted in tradition, made with care, and designed to spark connection. For me, it’s about more than just food, it’s about honoring where I come from, building bridges across cultures, and creating moments that people will always remember.
