Sandwichmaker, sandwichmaker, make me a wich!
Before we got elbow deep in sandwiches, we had a pow wow over coffee –
Eat local. Drink strong coffee.
Pickle wrapping!!
Prep for the day ahead
Soon enough it was time to make sandwiches! We are serving the whole GH HQ office today plus some community members.
My first was a roast beef – condiments, meat, cheese
Intimidation
Veg!
Slice
Gorrrrgeous!
We quartered up a bunch and are delivering them to local businesses
Then it was time to make our own lunches
A KERF-style sandwich includes tons of veggies and lots of flava on Sunflower Wheat bread
I made one with swiss cheese, avocado, mustard, tomato, pepper, cuc, lettuce, S+P
Do you know what makes the GH sandwiches so amazing? THE BREAD.
I wrapped mine into two separate halves with two pickles. I ate one half early (11:30) and am saving the second half for the afternoon – along with a pear.
Hope you all got to eat a delicious sandwich soon!
jen @ taste life says
Okay, now I’m REALLY disappointed you guys didn’t choose Asheville as your location for a GH! I want to try their bread!
amyt says
I know what you mean…I was wishing for the Jacksonville, FL…..I have been wanting to try it myself – it always looks SO tasty!!
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
Those do look like delicious sandwiches- I love how THICK and full of good stuff they are! Though I must say, my favorite part of a sandwich is always the pickle 🙂
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
The bread does look amazing on those sammies. That’s fun that you’re actually making them for people! Kind of puts the pressure on, but in a good way.
Hope says
Those sandwiches look so good! I love how thick the bread is. I totally need to try a sandwich on GH bread! Everything looks so fresh and tasty!
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
GH Honey Whole Wheat, for ever! It’s my fave, and I buy a loaf once a week. Hello, $20/month, but totally worth it. Yum, yum.
Your sandwich looks delicious. I’m craving crispy summer veggies right now.

Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Yum! Now I really wanna sandwich! I love how fresh all the ingredients look 🙂
Annette says
THAT does look delicious! I foresee beautiful sandwiches in my near future…. 🙂
Ashley (The Vegetable Life) says
I just found a Great Harvest like an hour from my house…. I might have to make a voyage this weekend to get me some bread!!!!!!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
You can make me a sammie, anytime!
I love the wrapped pickles…cute!
And your tshirt. I WANT IT!!! Tooooo cute! Where did you score that one?
Jessica @ Dairy Free Betty says
I feel like I should tell you about my favorite sandwich… It was from a great little grocery store where I used to live (and before I was dairy free)
Fabulous bread – hummus + gouda, (I think grainy mustard, it’s been awhile) LOADED with veggies + marinated artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes. It was THE BEST sandwich I’ve ever had, and any time I go there, that is the FIRST place I stop.
OH YUM! I wish we had great harvest here, it looks fantastic!
Trish @I_am_Succeeding says
I’ll take 2 KERF’s to Maine please!! =)
Love all the behind the scenes of what goes on and into all this!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
You’re a pro Kath!!! Now I’m thinking I need to switch professions and go into sandwich making!
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
I love avocado and lots of veggies on my sandwiches! And plenty of pickles. 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Now I’m in a mood for a sandwich- minus the pickles!
Amanda says
you’re hair always falls so nicely! do you have thick hair? or is it just the way you cut it?
Kath says
Thanks! It’s not super thick. I think it’s just super straight! I do curl it out with a brush (like today) sometimes.
Allison K. says
I never remember or think about putting salt and pepper on sammies. I need to do that more often!
Yena says
Wow, your sandwich looks amazing! I love GH 🙂
kate says
Pickles! Those sandwiches look great. And I love that GH is so into giving back to the community!
Heather says
That looks like a fantastic sandwich – veggie sandwiches are my favorite.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I want you sandwich!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
I meant your sandwich! The veggies…just to make that clear…
Dorry says
Yum! Sandwich perfection. Glad you got some strong coffee this morning. 🙂
Mary Frances says
Here an O N I O N , there an O N I O N, everywhere an O N I O N ! Wow, I am impressed…you actually touched it (well kinda). We’ll make an onion lover out of you yet. All this time hearing about you opening a Great Harvest Bakery, it never occurred to me you would have to have a daily relationship with onions. Vidalia are sweeter and less odor and the best–maybe that could be the one you use in your store? You sure are a trooper, and I have to admit…I did laugh–not at you, but with you 😐 🙂 LOL
Kath says
We might not serve them on our sandwiches..
Susan Mc says
seriously??!!!
naw … really?
I have to say that would make me a disappointed customer!
Andrea @ reallifeinrofo says
Ummmm, I just want to take a HUGE bite out of your KERF-wich. Thanks for the inspiration to use guac. as a spread and slice the peppers thin like that. Yumm-o! I might have to have a sandwich for dinner 🙂
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
If you wanted to fly to PA to deliver me one of those heavenly looking sandwiches, I wouldnt complain 😉
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Beautiful sandwiches made by a beautiful sandwich maker! That lilac color looks great on you.
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I had a sandwich today but it wasn’t on great harvest bread 🙁 Looks like you guys are having a great time with all that bread!
Amanda @ Just Amanda J says
I am inspired to get some sandwich fixin’s when I go to the store next! I might just have to make a special trip to your GH when it opens to see what all this bread hype is about.
Stephanie @ Thorns Have Roses says
Your roast beef looks like the perfect sandwich in my book!
Christin@purplebirdblog says
I love your veggie goodness sandwich!!
Jessica says
Is the coffee really strong?
I thought that first picture of it was actually tea!
Jessica
Kath says
Actually it wasn’t!! I think I was just thinking that I wished it were…
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
it’s so true about the GH bread – i’ve been buying fresh loaves from other bakeries and nothing NOTHING compares!
Gill (snaxandthecity) says
love love love deep fill sarnies! you look like a pro 🙂
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
oh mu – now THAT is one awesome sandwich!
Kacy says
Those sandwiches are gorgeous! I want one!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
only the prettiest sandwiches in the whole world!
Nikki says
That just made me so hungry!!! Your veg sandwich looks so good! I wish we had a GH near me, but the closest is over 200 miles away!
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
Avocado on a sandwich?! YES! Gosh, that bread looks good…
Gloria says
Can you pllllllllease refrain on the oatmeal snobbery?! I make rolled oats in the microwave every day and they taste delish. They’re just as nutritious as the cooking method you advocate but I don’t have the avalanche of time you have to prep. While my oats are in the microwave, I can check my e-mails, run around getting ready for work, etc.
pat says
ha. I agree. instant with hot water added is my go-to on a work day when I’m eating in front of my computer reading emails.
Clizia says
Those sandwiches look so yummy!! Great Harvest aren’t planning to expand to Europe, are they? 🙁 x
Stephanie says
I will dream of that sandwich tonight. Looks awesome!!
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
I love STRONG coffee too. I started drinking the Keurig coffee, but I’m not certain it’s strong enough for me.
Kath says
That’s why I don’t like Keurig! I love the concept, but it’s always weak to me
Maryann says
Looks great! I like how you saved half for later, I totally do that too since I get hungry every couple hours (even if I were to eat the whole thing). 🙂
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Those sandwiches look SOOO GOOD! Sandwiches are probably my #1 favorite way to eat anything, lol.
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Looks like you’re becoming a sandwich-making PRO!
Ann @ Day by Day says
Fun post!! I can’t wait to hear what sandwiches you decide to have at your GH. After all your talk about Great Harvest bread all week, I had to go when I was in Nashville over the weekend! I got two delicious loaves and you were right, the bread is simply delicious. I love how soft it is!
Alaina says
Can you ship your sandwiches? 😛
Natalia - a side of simple says
Obviously you’re going to have to create a signature KERF sandwich for your GH. Maybe even a tribute to the bears…? 😉
Kath says
Ooo I’ll have to think about that one!
Emma says
Oh my goodness your sandwich looks sooo good. I must eat avacado tonight.
Amanda (Eating Up) says
Like a much improved Subway! Much, much improved…
Kiran says
Make me a KERF wich 😀
Namaste Gurl says
I WANT GH bread…..arg, is there was only one around me! I’m jealous indeed!
Erin says
I have to say… We were in Rochester this weekend and drove by a Great Harvest. We stopped for lunch–The sandwiches were AMAZING! So amazing in fact that we stopped by on our way out of town for more sandwiches, bread, and goodies to take home!
Ali says
Wow! Those look incredible, Kath. Still no GH in Pittsburgh, but I’ll have to make it a point to stop next time I’m in Philly.
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
lmho..alright, Matt had better not use this to backup the “Make me a sadwich!” line! Even though you can make a dang good one. 😉
Simply Life says
ooh looks like a great sandwich!
mary (what's cookin' with mary) says
Oh my goodness! That veggie sandwich looks SO tempting. I wish our avocado’s weren’t a million dollars right now :l
Shannon (A Better Me) says
They are outrageous right now 🙁
Erica D (Gratitouille) says
I just discovered that the Colorado Springs branch is no longer there! I was very sad to return and find it gone 🙁
Hannah says
Hmm… didn’t they know you’re already the Goddess of Wiches? 😛 Hope it tasted as good as you hoped!
Laura (Starloz) says
the bread really does look great
Kara says
I really want a roast beef sandwich now! Yum!
Kelly says
You probably have said this and I missed it, but where did you get your Eat Local shirt? I love it!
Kath says
I bought it last night at Patagonia!
Tessa says
That really does look mouth watering. There’s something about a veggie sandwich. Nothing like it
Cara Craves... says
I love how you can make your own specialty sandwich.
It must be fun to have all the bread and ingredients at your
disposal.
Katie says
Pickles are the best! I love them! My son always loves getting a pickle with sandwiches!
Your sandwich looks so hearty and healthy! An A +++++ in my book!!!!
Bronwyn Coyne says
Those sandwiches look delicious. yum veg.
Becca says
I LOVE your shirt!
foodandfarm says
I am just not creative when it comes to sandwiches…. these look amazing.
stacey-healthylife says
I love my local GH’s sandwich’s. I wish they were creative as you.
Lee says
I just found out that the GH near me is closing. 🙁
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
The bread looks fabulous! That is one awesome sandwich. Mmm…
tiffany says
oh myyyy…your veggie sandwich looks SO. GOOD.
Jess says
I officially have a craving for a veggie sandwich!
Andrea says
Love the onion pic – hilarious! Your facial expressions are worth 1,000 words! I have found a Great Harvest in Independence, MO which isn’t too far away for me. The next time I head to KC shopping I’m going to stop in and sample the wares….!
Tina says
Ok, now I REALLY want a sandwich! They all look amazing. Especially the veggie one for yourself.
I really like your eat local shirt btw.
Lauren says
Dying to try me some Great Harvest Bread!
Lizzy says
I was happy to see a Great Harvest on my way home from the car dealership this evening in Atlanta. It’s not too far from my athletic center so I will have to go soon to check out what this bread is all about. Can’t wait!
Allie says
Great job on your sandwich making 🙂 EVERYTHING looks so fresh and yummy!
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
GH bread is seriously the BEST i’ve ever had.. and I’m a bread FREAK!
Melomeals: Vegan for $3.33 a Day says
I wish I could try that bread.. it looks so good!
Rachel says
How can you wear an “Eat Local” t-shirt while holding a Starbucks coffee mug?? Made me cringe! There are SO many great local coffee shops that deserve business more than a big chain like Starbucks.
Kath says
Do you think I was the one who chose the coffee we had this morning? And it was actually Peet’s coffee – how ironic.
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Yummmm! And yes, the BREAD definitely does make or break the sandwich!
Ang says
I had to laugh reading this blog! I work at a MN ghbco and I was eating a turkey sandwich as I read! YUM 🙂 hopefully someday I can visit your store, I’ curious to see the fun sandwiches you’ll be adding to your menu.
AG
Heather says
What kind of muesli did you use this morning or could you suggest a good one. It looks yummy as well as you sammies!!
Thx Heather
Kath says
One from the Good Food Store in Missoula, MT! Go to any store with bulk bins and you should find some. They are usually all good!
Allison @ OneWhiteTulip says
Omg, those sandwiches look SO DELICIOUS. Please come open a great Harvest in Leesburg, Virginia! Haha.
Kath, I made the peanut noodles you posted the recipe for a month of so ago. Omg. Best peanut noodles EVER. My husband couldn’t believe he had eaten a meal that was basically vegan, haha. Thank you!!!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Mmmmm I love me some sandwiches! I want yours……and all those pickles please because I’m obsessed with them.
Paige @Running Around Normal says
Those sandwiches are beefed UP!!! Look at all those veggies – love 🙂
Amy at TheSceneFromMe says
Your sandwhich is so colorful with all those veggies. But all your meals always are colorful!
Emily says
Your sandwich is pretty much exactly what I would have ordered, it looks so good. I cannot wait to visit my local GH, which I believe is the NH ones that your new friend are opening, score!
Josie @ Skinny Way Of Life says
wwwhhhyyy do i not have a GH near me!!?? all these pics have me craving their bread and I’ve never even had it! I’m seriously considering opening a GH now ; )
On an off topic, how’s Karen doing since surgery?
Kath says
She’s doing great – thanks for asking!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Smushed avocado is the ultimate sandwich topping! I always feel like something is missing if it’s not on my sandwich.
Kat says
oh what beautiful pictures and sandwiches. Delicious sandwiches!
Kath says
🙂
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
I wish I lived somewhere where coffee was grown so eating local could actually include strong coffee!
Sana says
For some reason sandwhiches made by other people taste sooo muchbetter! I am sure your made yours with lots of lovee!
Ashley says
Yummm, that looks FABulous!! Cute photos of you too! This must be so exciting…you’re going to have a store soon!!!!!!
Maria @ The Fitted Apron says
Love your headband. Super cute!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
I am seriously obsessed with sandwiches right now! 😀
Ruth says
OK, where did that “Eat Local” shirt come from? I need one!
Johanna B says
I will gladly eat one of your sandwiches anytime. I hope you sell gluten-free bread in your store.
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
Ohh those look so good!
