History
Great Harvest Bread Co. orginated in Montana, the home of the hard red spring wheat, the highest protein wheat on the planet. It was started by a hippy couple named Pete and Laura Wakeman, in Dillon Montana. They started a truly unusual business, and in 1991, Dan and Janene Centurione went to Dillon and learned about how to mill the wheat, bake the bread and followed their passion for artisinal breads by starting the Ann Arbor Great Harvest Bread Co. in 1992. We've been an active part of the Ann Arbor community and are proud to still be milling and baking for our friends and family here in town.
