History
Our founders, Pete and Laura Wakeman, were just a couple of college kids who baked amazing scratch-made whole grain bread to help pay their tuition at Cornell University. Newly married in 1975, the adventurous couple hiked the entire north-south length of Montana. They never left and they established the first Great Harvest Bakery in Great Falls. Slowly and organically, Great Harvest began to grow into the nation's first family of independently owned and operated whole grain bread bakeries. Authenticity, a spirit of camaraderie and individuality remain the foundation of the organization. Today there are more than 200 family owned Great Harvest bakeries located across the United States. Gordo and Jess Wood bought the Eugene bakery from the original owner in February of 2014. We are excited to continue the legacy of awesome bread baked fresh everyday.
Specialties
Great Harvest handcrafts bread daily using pure and simple ingredients. Each morning we fresh-grind premium whole wheat in the bakery and blend it with wholesome ingredients. The result is bread that tastes simply amazing. We offer sandwiches and sweets that are made fresh each day.
