Harvest TIME
In case you haven't heard you can still purchase and enjoy the great breads and cookies of Great Harvest.

The new outlet is located in the strip mall at the intersection of 62nd street and Binford Boulevard. Business hours are limited. Tuesdays and Fridays from Noon - 3. Pumpkin logs will be available in October. Yum.
Great Harvest bread is stocked at Meijer Fishers and will soon be in the Broad Ripple Kroger.
