STOW, OH

Gluten X

We make Gluten X breads once a month by special order. We use gluten free ingredients, but because we are not a gluten free facility, it isn't gluten free. We mill flour in our store so there are trace amounts. Pickup is the last Friday of each month except November and December when we do it the Friday before the holidays. Orders need to be placed by the Wednesday before. We make 4 varieties: Original, Cinnamon Chip, Cheddar Garlic and Dakota (adds sunflower, pumpkin, sesame seeds and flax). Call or stop in to place an order.

Gift Baskets

In our society today, most people don't need more stuff! But everyone has to eat and what is better than fresh bread? We have soup mixes, preserves, honey, peanut butters, dipping oils and other great things to put together into a gift basket. We always have lots of bags and baskets to use and our staff can help you put together a custom gift. We also put together seasonal mugs with gifts inside for every season and holiday through the year. These mugs are only $20 and great for any occasion.

Catering

We can put together goodie boxes for any occasion. We often do a box with a sample of scones, bars, muffins and cookies. Just call ahead and we can make a box to serve 10 people or 100 people. We can do bread boxes as well. We have done hundreds of cookies for a church retreat and we do a cookie order every year for over 4000 cookies. No order is too small or too big. Just call ahead to plan what you want with Nancy.

Farmer's Markets

From the beginning of June until the middle of October we take lots of our great breads and goodies to some area Farmer's Markets. On Thursdays from 4-7 pm you will find us at the Tallmadge Market held at the Rec Center by the Tallmadge High School. On Saturday mornings we take favorites like Cinnamon Swirl and Cheddar Garlic to the Stow Community Market. It is from 9:00-12:30 each week. It is just off Graham Rd. behind Briarwood Nursing and close to the elementary schools. There are lots of other great vendors at these markets as well so come check them out!

About Our Store

Great Harvest Bread Co. has been in Stow, Ohio for 27 years. It was opened in 1998 by Rick & Debbie Sands. Rick retired after 20 years and Carl & Nancy May became the new owners. Many Great Harvest locations have become cafes offering sandwiches, but our store continues to be a bakery offering a large selection of breads – savory, sweet, whole grain, sourdough, and gluten X. We also have wonderful goodies every day like scones, Savannah bars, muffins and cookies.

About the Owners

Carl & Nancy May thought about opening a business as a way to serve others in the community and looked for a space years ago for a coffee shop. Not finding a location, they pursued other jobs. But when they found out that Rick was going to retire, they began conversations about buying the store. Carl & Nancy have been here since 2019. They have 4 children between 21-25 all whom have worked at the store. Two of them still work here.
