About Mrs. Hanes' Moravian Cookie Factory
Mrs. Hanes' Moravian Cookie Factory is a specialty bakery and visitor attraction located in Clemmons, North Carolina. Since 1990 the business has welcomed thousands of guests to experience traditional Moravian cookies and behind-the-scenes bakery operations.
The factory offers a personalized one-hour Bakery Tour that visits “Grandma’s Kitchen” and the “Secret Recipe” mixing room, where guests watch talented bakers—described in tour materials as “Artists in Aprons”—craft cookies by hand and sample six flavors at each stop. Visitors receive guided commentary during the tour and multiple tasting moments to compare classic Moravian cookie varieties.
In addition to the standard Bakery Tour, Mrs. Hanes' Moravian Cookie Factory offers Large Group Tours tailored for student groups, families, and community organizations. Large Group Tours combine hands-on demonstration, historical context about Moravian baking traditions, and lessons about honesty and hard work while providing the same sampling experience of six flavors. Both tours emphasize artisanal, hand-crafted techniques and are presented as interactive, educational experiences.
The factory has been featured on The Adventure Collective and is promoted as a family-friendly destination in Clemmons. Tour descriptions highlight the factory’s emphasis on repeatable baking methods and on sharing the cultural history of Moravian cookies. Visitors can expect a mix of storytelling, live cookie preparation, and tasting moments on each tour. Information on accessibility and group rates is provided on the factory’s booking pages.
