Think Local First

As owners of the Ann Arbor Great Harvest Bread Co, we are active supporters of our local economy.  We work with local businesses where ever possible…as vendors for our supplies, banking, insurance, and in particular for local foods like eggs, honey, dairy and great goodies for our sandwich and catering services.  We belong to “Think Local First”, an organization that supports local businesses to keep our Ann Arbor economy vibrant.  By learning more about Think Local First and our other fellow local businesses, we hope that you’ll support us in our drive to keep the Ann Arbor local economy strong.  Here’s some information about Think Local First, and how to contact them for other local services and merchants you may want to work with:

THINK LOCAL FIRST:

Our mission is to support and cultivate locally-owned, independent businesses in Washtenaw County, Michigan that are committed to making our community a healthier and more vibrant place to live.
