Great Harvest Bread Co.

Great Harvest Bread Co. in Trussville is my all-time favorite bakery. They offer specialty baked goods, soups and sandwiches—all made from scratch daily using as many local ingredients as possible. Score!

If you’re throwing some parties this fall, you may want to consider a bread spider or bread turkey. Just pop out the middle and fill with your choice of dip. A bit creepy, yes, but also oddly intriguing.
