Sorry!

We wish we could be telling you about some special Hurricane Sandy specials we were offering. Instead, we need to let you know that we will be closed on Monday, October 29th and Tuesday, October 30th.

Please stay safe. Sandy looks like it's a very serious storm with the potential for some significant damage. Keep on eye on our blog and Facebook page for more details about when we will reopen.

God speed! Your friends at the Great Harvest in Columbia.

Frankenstorm Prep

As you run around getting ready for the "Frankenstorm," while we don't have any generators or multipacks of bottled water or propane for the grill, we have plenty of other goodies to make riding out the storm more pleasant.

Stop by today and pick up some bread, soup mix, muffins and scones. Our breads stay fresh 7-10 right on the counter. One less thing to worry about throwing out if you lose power!

We hope to maintain our regular hours as the storm heads north. Our priority is keeping our staff safe. Please check back here and on Facebook for updates on bakery hours.

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

Halloween Treats

Looking for some really yummy Halloween Goodies? Look no further!  In addition to our fabulous Sugar Cookies decorated in horrifying Halloween sprinkles, we will have Chocolate Brownie Bread Cupcakes, also decorated in the colors of the season. And if you ask us really nicely, you may be able to convince us to make you one of these super cool Spider Breads!

And don't forget the great soup mixes we have for those nights you have no time to cook and need a quick, healthy meal (kind of like Halloween).

Grab and Go!

Are you looking for a delicious lunch item that you can grab and go? Something you can eat on the run without worrying about ketchup on your lap? Do we have a good one for you! Come and try one of our Pepperoni or Veggie Rolls!

Many people say the Pepperoni Roll was originally convenient lunch eaten by coal miners in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Take a stick of pepperoni and some cheese, wrap it in bread dough and bake. It didn't require refrigeration and was hearty enough for the appetite of a hard-working miner.

Our Pepperoni and Veggie Rolls are slightly different. We take sliced pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and your choice of banana peppers, sweet peppers (or no peppers) and envelope them in pizza dough. We bake them until they are golden brown. If you can catch them right out of the oven, you may never eat anything else for lunch again. Not a pepperoni fan? Then try a Veggie Roll.  The selection of veggies varies, but they will delight you.

Our Pepperoni Rolls make a great Raven's game time treat, too! Howard County can't go wrong cheering the Ravens with these on the table.

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

Ode To Pumpkin Swirl - Encore

Ode to Pumpkin Swirl

Oh, bread of fall, with filling sweet.
Why are you so good to eat?
Your nutmeg flavor fills my senses.
With autumn visions and romances.
Thursday seems so long in coming.
I bite into you and start humming.
Of falling leaves and air so crisp.
I serve you on a pretty dish.
Oh, bread of fall, with filling sweet.
You are so very good to eat.

Pumpkin Swirl is available on Thursdays in October. For best results, reserve yours now!

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

Pay Attention! This is a doozie!

Unlike some other places with there occasional free coffee, we have free coffee every Friday from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM. Have you tried our coffee? It must be the finest in Howard County! We use freshly roasted coffee from Cafe Pronto, a coffee roaster in Annapolis. Our beans our never more that two weeks out of the roaster. That's much better than those other places.

For you loyal blog readers, we have a deal for you today. Mention this blog anytime today, and get a free cup of coffee AND one of fabulous giant cookies. We can't think of a better way to start off a nice long weekend (at least for some of you)!

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

October Preview

We're not going to tell you everything we have on the menu this month. But we will reveal a couple treats. We begin our Monday Rye bread rotation with Swedish Rye. It's a little on the sweet side, modeled after Swedish Limpa bread. It's very versatile and we are confident you will like it.

Old Classic; New Twist
We know you can't get enough of our Cheddar Garlic. We've tried many variations of it and this month, we've got another one for you. On Tuesdays, we will have Cheddar Garlic Bacon. Toast it, grill it, turn it into every man's dream grilled cheese. You can't go wrong with this tasty treat.

We'll give you more glimpses into our October menu throughout the week. Or you can stop by and pick up a copy of your own!

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