WE LOVE TO GIVE BAKERY TOURS!

Most of our tours are set up as school field trips, including groups of home schoolers.   We generally schedule tours on Wednesday mornings at 10 AM - the morning time allows participants to enjoy watching the actual bread-making process during the tour.    We are also able to offer tours at 10 AM on Thursday mornings from Nov through April (when Farmer's Market not in season).      (Afternoon tours, such as for Girl Scout troops, are also possible, though they miss out on watching the actual bread production.)

During our tours, children get to learn how we turn a grain of wheat into flour, gather around the big bowls where the bread is mixed, learn about the ingredients in bread, learn about kneading, look inside the big oven, and, of course, EAT some Great Harvest bread!

Bakery Tour Guides!

Tour group size is 12-25 children, ages 4 & up.   Minimum # for a tour is 10.  Due to space limitations in the production area, large groups will be divided into smaller groups of 12-13 people.   Tours last approx 20-25 minutes. 

(25 children =   2 tours =  approx 50 min total).   We encourage the presence of parents & chaperones to supervise the children.

To set up a bakery tour,

Thanks for your interest - we really look forward to your visit!
