MOBILE BAKERY TOURS
We NOW have a mobile tour where we come to your place. We bring the bread dough (you bake) and some healthy eating information along with a cookie to decorate (we bring all the fixins). Mobile tours have a minimum of $150 for up to 20 participants. If more than 20 participants, each additional participant will cost $5. Young and old all enjoy kneading bread and of course the yummy cookie. Give us a call to schedule. If out of the katy area, travel costs will be added to the tour cost.

KIDS & WHOLE GRAINS
Still, some kids need a jumpstart when it comes to changing their eating habits. Here are some ideas that will get your kids going with the grain in no time!
- Gradually make the switch. When making sandwiches, sneak in a slice of Honey Whole Wheat on the bottom while keeping a slice of Old-Fashioned White on the top. Then, make it fun! Use cookie cutters to stamp out fun, bite-sized shapes.
- Make whole grains (even more) delicious. Make French toast with any Great Harvest whole grain bread.
- Try a few of the specialty whole grain breads. Your kids will have a hard time turning down apples, nuts, cinnamon chips and/or berries even though they're in whole grain bread.
- Let your kids decide what they'll eat. The trick here is for parents to narrow the field down to healthy options their kids can choose between. For example, have them decide between Honey Whole Wheat or Sunflower Whole Wheat bread.
- Show them why whole grain is better. One of our favorite lessons comes from William Sears, author of the Family Nutrition Book. He suggests taking your child to the supermarket. Have them hold a loaf of white bread in one hand and a loaf of Great Harvest whole grain bread in the other. Then tell them, in Dr. Sears' words, "The white bread is air bread. Whole grain is heavier because it's 'muscle bread'."
