Great Harvest Bread
A Great Harvest Story

This Great Harvest Bread Co. in Ann Arbor is a dream come true — our dream! Our passion for great tasting, nutritious bread, and our desire to run a community-based business, led us to Great Harvest.

Our Great Harvest looks like no other Great Harvest out there. We operate under a “Freedom Franchise.” The “Freedom” part means that we get to run our business in a way that meets our community’s unique needs. The “Franchise” part gives us access to the recipes and processes that Great Harvest has continuously improved for over three decades. The result is breads and goodies that will knock your socks off!  The Ann Arbor store has particular features being so close to University of Michigan we truly are a catering hub. Our close relationship gives us to opportunity to cater to the different schools — Our caterings orders can vary from 5 Boxed Lunches to 900 Boxed Lunches! 

Ryan and I (Camie) had been working at this location for several years before deciding to take over from Ryan's parents in 2021. This truly is a family business and we enjoy working together and seeing friendly loyal customers who just have become our friends throughout the years. We have two young kids and we are excited to share this passion with them and the hard work it takes to run a small businness. 

Thanks for stopping by, we’re glad you are here!
