About Harvest Moon Baking Company

Harvest Moon Baking Company (HMBC) was born in 2006 in Denver, Colorado. What started as a homegrown bakery has stayed true to old-school baking traditions ever since. We use pure, simple ingredients with no artificial preservatives, focusing on quality, consistency, and craft in everything we make.

​As we celebrate 20 years of baking, we're proud of how far we've come and grateful to the partners who've grown with us along the way.

​Today, our handmade artisan selections are delivered to and served in restaurants across the United States. We say it, and we mean it: Thanks for letting us handle your buns.
