Great Harvest Bread Co. Eugene

Great Harvest handcrafts bread daily using pure and simple ingredients. Each morning we fresh-grind premium whole wheat in the bakery and blend it with wholesome ingredients. The result is bread that tastes simply amazing. We offer sandwiches and sweets that are made fresh each day.

Established in 1988.
Our founders, Pete and Laura Wakeman, were just a couple of college kids who baked amazing scratch-made whole grain bread to help pay their tuition at Cornell University. Newly married in 1975, the adventurous couple hiked the entire north-south length of Montana. They never left and they established the first Great Harvest Bakery in Great Falls. Slowly and organically, Great Harvest began to grow into the nation’s first family of independently owned and operated whole grain bread bakeries. Authenticity, a spirit of camaraderie and individuality remain the foundation of the organization. Today there are more than 200 family owned Great Harvest bakeries located across the United States. Gordo and Jess Wood bought the Eugene bakery from the original owner in February of 2014. We are excited to continue the legacy of awesome bread baked fresh everyday.

Business Owner
Hi! I am Gordo, I purchased the bakery from the original owner in February 2014, along with my wife Jess. After graduating from college and getting a job I realized I like talking to people way more than working at a desk. Great Harvest is an amazing product that I can stand behind and be totally transparent about. I love meeting people and chatting about our bread or whatever is on your mind. I think you should know who is making the food you buy and I want to meet you. Come into Great Harvest and let’s meet in person. That way we can really get to know each other.
