Baker's Special

Here's something new and different. If you like herbs, this Baker's Special is for you! Today we have Herb De Breezy Willow. We combine white and wheat flour with a mix of herbs from Breezy Willow Farm. This wonderfully flavorful bread is great for everything from toast to tea sandwiches. Remember, our Baker's Specials come in small batches. Get in early to get yours.

We hope to see you soon. Your friends at the Great Harvest in Columbia.

Easter Breads


Is it too early to think about your Easter dinner? We don't think so. We have some of the finest Easter Bread choices in Howard County! Here's a little preview.


Hot Cross Buns - Better than you've ever had. Some believe these rolls date back to the 12th century when an Anglican monk baked rolls and placed a cross on them to honor Good Friday. Our Hot Cross Buns are slightly sweet and have just the right amount of raisins with an artistically applied cross.


Easter Ambrosia Bread - Another beautiful sweet bread. Made with pureed orange and lemon, raisins, almonds and more. Shaped in a loose braid, this will make a beautiful addition to your Easter table.


Honey Bunnies - Too cute for words! We take our delectable Honey Whole Wheat bread and shape it like a sweet little Easter bunny. Use it as a centerpiece, put it in the kids' Easter baskets, or hollow out the center and fill it with your favorite dip. (We have many in store if you need some suggestions.)


Watch this space for more ideas in the coming weeks. We hope to see you soon. Your friends at the Great Harvest in Columbia.

Take on Grains!


Have you given up sweets for Lent? That's okay! We don't mind, because in addition to our tremendous sweets, we have some very tasty, whole grain breads. All start with a base of whole wheat bread. Here's a run-down.


Woodstock - Made with flax, sunflower seeds, walnuts and pecans. Try it with one of our cream cheese spreads.


High Five Fiber - Flax seed, millet, sunflower seeds, oat bran and wheat bran contribute to the 5 grams of fiber per serving in this fantastic bread.


Whole Grain Goodness - Flax seed, millet, sunflower seeds, almonds and pecans. We love this with our Almond Butters from Naturally Nutty.


Dakota - The seediest of breads - pumpkin seeds, and more!


Nine Grain - A special mix of grains. This incredible bread sells out almost every Saturday.


Come get your grains on! We hope to see you soon. Your friends at the Great Harvest in Columbia.

Luck of the Irish

It's your luck too, this month! So many yummy things to choose from this month. We hope you can handle it! We've already mentioned our fantastic Irish Soda Bread. We will also have Irish Baked Potato Bread. This hearty delight is brimming with chunks of potatoes, and black pepper and topped with cheddar cheese and chives. It's great with soup or stew. Our cheesey breads are very popular and this month, we have Gouda Stout. Smokey Gouda cheese (you know we don't skimp on the cheese in 0ur breads!) is set off nicely by the slightly sweet flavor of the wheat. A light sprinkle of salt on the top will keep all your taste buds tingling! And available only on March 17th, we have our Reuben Bread. Corned Beef, Swiss Cheese, Sauerkraut, all swirled in our fabulous Rye Bread. It's a meal unto itself!

Craving a Sweet
You should try our Chocolate Mint Blarney Cookies. We have no evidence that they have magical powers like their namesake stone, but we promise you will still love them!

Sandwiches for March
What would March be at Great Harvest without the Best Reuben Ever? Our Reuben is made with Corned Beef, Swiss, Cole Slaw and Thousand Island Dressing. It's the best sandwich you will ever have. If you prefer a slightly ( and we mean slightly) lighter version, try the Rachel with Turkey.

Lots is store for you. We hope to see you soon! Your friends at the Great Harvest in Columbia.
