There is a little bread shop just up the street from the studio. The bread they make there is mouth watering. I honestly think there is nothing better then freshly made bread with real butter.
This little shop is one of Libbie’s favorite lunch spots in Smyrna. She likes it because sometimes she runs into friends who want to play.
Other times she just goes in for the yummy free samples which help her figure out which bread she likes best. Libbie’s mom likes for Libbie to have the High 5 Fiber bread. She knows that Libbie loves it because it is yummy and the fiber is just plain good for little Miss Libbie!
The sweet store owner, Lorrie, shares a little more about the shop:
1. What drove you to start your business? My husband and I grew up in
Minnesota where the Great Harvest is very popular. For a LONG time, we have
loved the whole concept, the products and the atmosphere that GH Bakeries
provide. When Lorrie decided to exit the medical field, we were drawn
quickly to the idea of owning our own bakery.
2. Tell us a little about your business: At the Great Harvest we mill our
wheat berries everyday into flour to make the most healthy and nutritious
breads and sweets. We bake our breads and sweets fresh every day (that we
are open). Our fresh and spectacular bread is what makes our phenomenal
sandwiches so different from others. We love being part of the community
and helping the local schools, neighborhood associations and fund raisers.
3. What is your favorite bread you make and why? I love High 5 Fiber. It
tastes great by itself, as a sandwich or toasted. Not only does it taste
great it is good for you with 5g of fiber per slice.
4. What’s on your nightstand? The bible, picture of my kids and various
books that I try to get to. However working in the bakery, I am usually too
tired to do much reading!
5. What is your favorite family must-do in the Atlanta area? We love biking
on the Silver Comet Trail as a family. Kids sports take up a lot of our
free time as Chris coaches a lot and Lorrie hates to miss the boys’ games!
