Your Neighborhood Bread Store

Great Harvest Bread Co. in Okemos opened it's doors on July 11, 1990, as the first franchise in Michigan. It has been in the Beck family for the last 19 years and has been a joy to be part of the community.   We’ve been milling wheat and making the freshest whole grain bread around for our family and for  yours.   Our passion for great tasting, nutritious bread, and our desire to run a community-based business, led us to Great Harvest and we can't imagine anything better!

Your Okemos 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!
   

Many of you remember Bill and Teresa Beck  from when they opened the Okemos store in 1990. They had a dream of bringing whole grain bread to Michigan, that started with a fabulous idea  from a friend out in Colorado. Their son,  Bill Jr., has been a vital part of making the Okemos store what it is today.  A few years ago, Bill and myself  bought the store from Bill and Teresa and decided to continue our passion for making great bread!   We love what we do because we have the best customers on earth!

Thanks for stopping by, we’re glad you came!
