Proof that no matter how busy you are, a healthy lunch is easy to piecemeal together.
Especially if honey bears are involved!
We enjoyed such a lovely picnic lunch inside – and the honey we sampled for retail tasted great!! It was delicious on everything (honey + bell pepper – who knew!?)
We are SO CLOSE to being done! We have a few more things we forgot in the video to do tomorrow. We had tons of customers come in today! I think we need a “not open” sign 🙁 But fun to chat with them.
Hey mom – like your crocks!?
Somebody pour me a glass of wine – we’ve got a birthday to celebrate!
But first…a shower!
Stephanie says
The bakery is looking great!
Stella says

<3 honeybears
Kristin says
Love the veggie sticks in a jar – great way to transport them, and I bet it would fit in a cupholder in my car, which makes it easy to snack on-the-go! The bakery is really coming along!
Mom says
Customers! So fun!
Can we buy those knives?
Susan says
Looks great! Looking forward to you opening!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Fun lunch! I tried the pineapple flavored chobani for the first time the other day and loved it! tastes like dessert 🙂

Maybe a cheery “Opening June 3 – be sure to come back” instead of a “Not Open” sign. 🙂

Sarah@The Flying ONION says
The bakery looks absolutely wonderful!
And your lunch looks so special and quaint. I love it. And honey on any kind of bread is one of my most favorite of things. Delicious. 😀
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
These pictures make me want to open my own Great Harvest!
Lolly says
What brand of coffee will you serve? Does GH have a proprietary brand or can each owner choose their own? Will you be offering alternative milks? Will there be an upcharge for them like at sbux?
I’d love to see you grind your own coffee beans daily. Just like fresh ground wheatberries make a huge difference, so do fresh ground coffee beans.
KathEats says
We get to choose our own, and we’ll be serving Shenandoah Joe’s
AShley says
Woohoo!!!!! 🙂

r8chel says
I like those VIAJ – Veggies in a Jar! 🙂
And I love that people are stopping in already, even though you’re not open. Maybe you could give them some kind of little coupon – like a dollar off their first purchase or something.
KathEats says
Haha – VIAJ!!
I have been giving the customers our biz cards, which have a free loaf of bread coupon on the back!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
honey sampling, there are worse jobs in the world 🙂
the bakery is looking beautiful Kath!! I mean, wow!!!!
A not open sign. lol. It just means you will be packed with paying customers in no time!
Congrats!
Karen says
The bakery is looking oh-so-fabulous, Kath! I couldn’t be anymore excited for you and Matt, and find myself in so much suspense as I sit here miles away watching every last detail unfold. I so wish I could celebrate and support you personally on opening day…

Aria says
I went to our local farmer’s market today (it was the 1st time it was open for the new season!) and I was pleased to find that there was a Great Harvest tent there!! The owners I think were from the Wayne, PA store which isn’t too far away from my home. I bought the apple pie loaf & it was amazing! I must say that I was really excited to see a GH tent bc I immeadiately thought of you! I have read your blog for over a year and I don’t comment much – but I wanted to say congrats on opening up your GH and I wish you much success 🙂 They seem like a great company!
KathEats says
So glad you liked the bread!! Tell the Wayne owners I said hello 🙂
Morgan @ moments of mmm says

Caroline @ French Ponytail says
Hmm…I’m not buying honey + green peppers, but then I find it hard to get behind green peppers in general. Congrats on going into business though!
Leila @ Spinach and Skittles says
Ahh I can’t wait for you guys to open!
What color/brand is the orange paint you guys used? I LOVE it, and want to paint my kitchen a brighter orange this summer…

Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
the place really looks fantastic! I also miss eating on the floor. Is that weird? I used to do it all the time but my apartment here in NZ is not conducive to it.
