Our Mission

​Be loose and have fun. Bake phenomenal bread. Run fast to help customers. And give generously to others.

Meet your bakers

We grew up on the east coast and met at WVU.
(Let's Go Mountaineers!!!) 
​We moved to Columbus right after college and never left.  Our two boys are the official taste testers at the bakery - Cinnamon Chip bread is their favorite!  Our passion for great tasting, nutritious bread, and our desire to run a community-based business, led us to Great Harvest. They have been making great bread for communities across the U.S. for over 25 years.

We are thrilled to continue the tradition in Upper Arlington!  Your Upper Arlington 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 GH has continuously improved for over two decades. The result is breads and sweets that will knock your socks off!
Thanks for stopping by, we’re glad you came!

Our Bread

The Great Harvest Whole Grain Bread Difference
Great Harvest handcrafts bread daily using only pure and simple ingredients. Each morning we fresh-grind premium whole wheat in the bakery and blend it with ingredients from nature, like yeast, salt and local honey. Great Harvest never uses chemicals or additives. The result is bread that tastes simply amazing.

You'll Love How It Makes You Feel
Bread shouldn't be boring, dry or full of air. Real bread is rich, moist, hearty and life-enhancing. Whole wheat bread made Great Harvest-style retains vital nutrients.  Moms, kids, athletes and health-conscious people of all ages love the flavor and nutrition benefits.

We Support Family Owned Farms
For more than three decades we have been a friend to family farms located in Montana. We know our wheat farmers on a first-name basis. They understand and produce our proprietary whole grains that have the baking qualities and hearty taste that are uniquely Great Harvest.

It's About Baking a Difference in Your Life
Our bakery is locally owned and operated. It's no surprise, then, that we are passionate about being genuine --- in our craft, in our customer service, and in our community commitment.
