Gregg is an ordained minister from the Pacific Northwest who is passionate about serving those who serve. Kim is a native of Greenville and has two degrees in music but with the random assortment of jobs she's held, she most loves being a mom. We met in 2006 in Charlotte, NC where Gregg was associate pastor of a church, and Kim was working in a law firm and singing with the Charlotte Symphony. It was here that Gregg first found Great Harvest Bread Co. He received a gift box from a congregant and fell in love with the bread. He started using Great Harvest bread for communion and the congregation fell in love with it as well!
Shortly after meeting Kim, Gregg answered a call to join the Army as a chaplain. We married in 2008 and started our life together at Fort Lewis, WA where Kim was introduced to Great Harvest in the little town of University Place on the Puget Sound.
After three and a half years of military service with a tour in Afghanistan, we returned home to North Carolina. Since then, we've moved a couple more times, Gregg went back to school for a degree in non-profit management and we made the leap to pursue Gregg's passion for community ministry. We chose to open a Great Harvest Bread Co. with that passion in mind and we decided that Greenville was the perfect place to raise our family, find our community and build our bakery. We have two adorable children--Eli and Amelia--and the sweetest dogs on the planet named Sydney and Pepper. We hope to raise our kids in this family bakery and teach them not only how to run a business with integrity, but also to give to, serve and love others generously. You'll likely see them around the bakery, trying to be our "helpers"!
With community service as our focus, we hope to be a place that this city can come to meet, relax, fellowship, and most of all, enjoy awesome breads, scrumptious sweets and a delicious lunch. We hope through this bakery to bless you as God has blessed us.
Thanks for stopping by, we’re glad you came and we hope to see you soon!
