Annapolis Great Harvest Bread Co. is Celebrating Food Day!

Annapolis, Md., Oct. 15, 2012 – The Annapolis Great Harvest bakery is participating in the second annual Food Day event to help advocate Food Day- a nationwide campaign to change the way Americans eat and think about food.  Great Harvest of Annapolis is one of thousands of organizations, businesses, and community groups that will participate in events sponsored across the country. 

Food Day takes place on Wednesday, October 24.  Come into the store any time (6:30 a.m. – 6 p.m.) to learn more about the benefits of whole grains, try a free slice of our Honey Whole Wheat Bread, grab a “Real Bread” coloring page for the kids, and enter to win one of our 5 great prize packages.

“Food Day is all about supporting “real” food that is minimally processed and contains natural ingredients,” said bakery owner, Thomas Storm.  “It is what we are all about – spellable, pronounceable, natural, delicious ingredients. We are about real food that is really delicious and life enhancing!”

Between 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 3-6 p.m. you can also talk with our partnering Health Coaches, Tom and Julie Meekins of March Forth Family LLC (www.marchforthfamily.com). March Forth Family’s approach to healthy eating is to create a “happy, healthy life that is flexible, fun and rewarding for the whole family.”
