**More to the Story Behind Our Exceptional Bread**
👇👇👇
What makes Great Harvest bread so exceptional? It all starts with the wheat kernels. For over 30 years, we’ve sourced our premium Montana wheat from family-owned farms in the Golden Triangle, a region known for producing some of the finest wheat in the world. This area is to wheat what Napa Valley is to wine.😉

Our farmers know we’re a tough client. Each year, we rigorously test their wheat for protein content, moisture, baking qualities, and taste, ensuring it meets our high standards. We also screen for chemical residues and GMOs to keep our wheat pure, allowing us to bake without artificial additives.🙌❤️

The consistency of our wheat is key. We conduct over 100 test bakes annually, carefully stone milling each wheat sample into fresh flour to unlock its natural flavors. Our R&D team in Dillon, Montana, meticulously measures, mixes, kneads, and bakes to perfect each loaf.🍞

A perfect Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat loaf offers a balanced, full-bodied taste with notes of wheat, sweetness, and a hint of fermentation. Our relentless pursuit of the best wheat is what makes our bread truly special, and it’s a source of pride for the Montana farmers who make the cut. 🌾

Let’s talk about WHOLE GRAINS! 🥰
👇👇👇
Unlock the power of whole grains at Great Harvest Friendswood! We believe that healthy eating should be as delicious as it is nutritious, which is why we grind our flour fresh every day🙌. Each slice of our whole grain bread is packed with all the natural protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals your body needs. According to federal guidelines, eating at least half of your daily grains as whole grains can significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. In fact, just one slice of our Honey Whole Wheat delivers 28 grams of whole grains—enough to help you live longer and healthier. Taste the difference that fresh, whole ingredients make, and take a step toward a healthier you today! 🌾🍞

🌾🥖 **The Journey of Our Phenomenal Bread!
Let’s talk about the background of GH!

At Great Harvest, our bread is more than just a product—it’s a passion! 💛 We start with wheat sourced from local, family-owned farms in Montana’s Golden Triangle, known as the best wheat source on earth. 🌾 Only the finest wheat kernels make the cut, thanks to our rigorous testing and strict quality standards. These top-tier kernels journey to our bakery cafe, where they become the stars of your favorite baked goods. 🌟

Every day, we mill our exceptional wheat into fresh flour right here, unlocking rich, complex flavors in every kernel. This old-fashioned method, combined with simple, recognizable ingredients, gives our bread its sweet, nutty taste that’s naturally delicious and nutritious. 🥰

If you’re used to the mass-produced bread from the grocery store, full of air and additives, our freshly milled flour bread will be a game-changer. 😲 Come by our breadboard for a free slice, and once you’ve tasted our bread, you’ll want to bring a loaf home to share with your family.🏡💕
