ABOUT US

A Fresh Start





Elizabeth and Benjamin Markley are the Owners of Great Harvest Bread Co in Grand junction, CO. 

Owning a Bakery has always been Elizabeth's dream and Ben is a huge support. She has always enjoyed baking from home for friends and family and for several years had ventured into making cakes and had her own home business doing so.  In June 2018 she saw and ad for a baking position at Great Harvest while taking a trip to California with Ben and she applied. After an Interview with the owner she was hired. And after 2 years was offered a management position, a year after that discussions began to purchase the bakery. Ben started at the Bakery in 2019 to help out during the busiest times of the year and was a huge part of the decision to make this their own business venture. 

In 2022 the dream became real and they both moved forward with the purchase of the Bakery. Elizabeth and Benjamin joined the Franchise and love being able to run a community based business that offers FRESH made from scratch breads and sweets.  

"We look forward to serving our community the best wholesome baked goods they deserve." 

"Our Great Harvest looks like no other Great Harvest out there. We operate under a “Freedom Franchise.” The “Freedom” part means that we get to run our business in a way that meets our community’s unique needs. The “Franchise” part gives us access to the recipes and processes that Great Harvest has continuously improved for over three decades. The result is breads and sweets that will knock your socks off!"
