As your
neighborhood whole-grain headquarters, we make bread
the old-fashioned way, completely from scratch…….every day!
|
|
|
¨We mill coarsely stone-ground whole-wheat flour in our
bakery every day.
What's so great about that?
¨We start from scratch, every morning.
Unlike a lot of bakery
products out there, we NEVER “add water” to a mix or “bake off”
frozen product that came in on a truck, etc. (yuck!)
¨With
a few special
5
9
exceptions, we don’t add oils, dairy or fat to
our breads.
|
|
¨Our bread includes only natural
ingredients and NO preservatives, dough
conditioners, or chemical additives no one can
pronounce!
¨Our signature bread, Honey Whole Wheat, has only 5
ingredients:
fresh-ground flour, water, yeast, honey, and salt!
We
keep our breads
simple because we care about taste and nutrition.
¨Our bread stays fresh for 7-10 days.
It’s
great for shipping, too! Our shipped loaves
arrive within 2 days. (Click on "Bread Gifts".)

We use
High Quality Wheat!
 Nothing influences our bread quality more
than wheat. High quality wheat is so important to us that we
have our very own Wheat Specialist (yep, it’s a “she”!) whose job is
to research and select wheat for our breads. Farmers send
Bonnie
a lot of wheat samples - about 50 bags a year. She tests each bag by
baking loaves from each, turning down the bags which aren't up to
her standards (usually 30-40%). Bonnie has YEARS of experience
with wheat and baking Great Harvest bread, has a good eye, and good
taste buds too, checking carefully at the way the wheat bakes - does
it bake evenly? is it moist? does it have a slightly sweet,
nutty taste? She's looking for wheat that bakes well, has
extraordinary taste, has the most protein,
and high fiber.
All that,
just to ensure that
Great Harvest
breads are the most delicious & nutritious that they can be.
(Thanks, Bonnie!!)
Can ya tell we love her?? |
