Karl Bouvin, owner, and his wife Carolyn and family.

At the Burnsville store, our employees take our passion for hard work, lots of fun, superior customer service and great bread to an art form.  We abide wholeheartedly by our version of the Great Harvest credo: run fast to help customers, work hard, have fun, use the freshest ingredients available, bake great bread and give generously to others.  On any given day, you’ll find our customers sitting in the sunny window seat munching on sweet treats or free slices of bread, watching our high-energy bakers at work, and basking in the nurturing aromas of our freshly baked bread.

We stone grind our whole wheat flour every day in our store.  Just like fresh ground coffee beans make a better cup of coffee, fresh ground grains of wheat make a better tasting – and better for you! – loaf of bread.  For the best whole-wheat taste, it’s important to rush flour from the mill to the mixing bowl.  Until you taste bread that Fresh, chances are you’ve never really tasted the true flavor of wheat.

If you’re looking for healthful snacks to tide you over, we’ve even got a revolving selection of whole grain trail bars, granola made with no added oils, whole wheat oatmeal chocolate chip and raisin cookies, and trail mix choc full of roasted nuts, chocolate and dried fruit.  And if gifts are what you need, we offer a selection of pre-packaged items, gift cards, coupons, gift boxes and to make that perfect gift of our fresh bread, free gift bags that are available every day of the year.

Come see us.  We look forward to sharing our passion for bread with you!
