30 Years of Whole Grains
When we
think of Great Harvest, we think “earth”, “back to earth”, fresh-ground”,
“whole wheat”, “whole grain”, “good for you”, “natural” -
this is, in large part, what drew us to this business to begin with,
back in 1989. Whole grains have been the heart and soul of our
business from Day 1. They are our niche, our specialty - they're
"what we do"!
As your
whole-grain headquarters, we make bread the old-fashioned way, completely
from scratch. Our bread includes only natural ingredients and no
preservatives. We mill coarsely stone-ground 100% whole-wheat flour in our
bakery every day. Every single day.

 The
WHOLE Kernel
The government's
new Dietary Guidelines (2005) spells out clearly that "whole grains" consist
of the entire grain seed or kernel, made of 3 components - the bran, the
germ and the endosperm. Great Harvest has been living by this
"new" standard for 30 years. We grind and use the entire wheat kernel. Always.
Why is that important?
