Fun Stuff: Great Harvest Tours

Anyone love Great Harvest Bread? I’m anticipating a store opening just a few miles from my home, and I’m so excited. In browsing their website, I came across this:
BAKERY TOURS
Calling all kids and parents! Ever wonder what it’s like to be a baker? Come take a tour of a Great Harvest Bakery! Check out our locations.
Most bakeries schedule free group tours. Just call and ask!
Eight Great Reasons to Go on a Great Harvest Tour:
- Find out the five simple ingredients that go into our bread. One of the ingredients is actually alive…and you’ll get to see it!
- Learn where our wheat kernels come from.
- See how we grind wheat kernels into fresh-ground flour every day.
- Feel how our flour is different than the flour you have at home.
- Gaze upon the biggest mixer and mixing bowls you’ve ever seen!
- Knead your own bread dough.
- Peek inside our huge oven. Can you guess how many loaves it can bake at a time?
- Eat some of our delicious bread, fresh out of the oven!
Forget about the kids… I WANT THE TOUR!!

I’m going to add Great Harvest into our preschool field trip schedule. Thanks for the heads-up.

Teri, you’ll have to let me know when that Lehi one opens up. I’m dying to know!
Beth and Teri, Tell them I sent you. They’ll give you a free piece of bread if you do.

Teri, I just found your blog yesterday and immediately subscribed to it – lots of great stuff. And thanks to your post, I now know that we have the Great Harvest Co bakery less than 6 miles from us. My preschooler is obsessed with baking and all things bread and will LOVE the tour (I’m planning on getting several friends together for a group tour)

That’s awesome. We’ve been waiting and waiting – I keep seeing the sign that says “coming soon” and I’m starting to get impatient.
Maybe we should get a group of us together and just take our kids.
