Mrs. Hanes’ Moravian Cookies

Our bakery doesn’t manufacture cookies, we create them. Our family business is more than 60 years old, and we still make cookies by hand, using rolling pins and cookie cutters. Visit and watch our “artists in aprons,” then sample our six flavors: Ginger, Sugar, Lemon, Chocolate, Butterscotch, Black Walnut. We make about 100,000 pounds per year, and there are about 100 cookies per pound. That equals 10 million cookies, each cut one by one using a cookie cutter. Buy half-pound and 1-pound cello bags in the bakery. For sending gifts, we ship tins and tubes worldwide. Easy ordering on our website.

“Hot Pursuit” Art Print

After so many requests to paint this scene, Ronald went to the country and watched these little beagles run after the rabbits so hard that he was inspired to do this painting. He noticed each beagle had its own personality, and Ronald worked hard to capture the look of the determined lead dog to the last dog that’s just having fun. Signed and numbered prints of “Hot Pursuit,” measuring 16-by-20 inches, are available in full color on museum-quality paper, for $60 (includes shipping).

“Memories” art print

After the great response Ronald Ragland received when his “Memories” art print was featured in Carolina Country magazine last year, he decided to present it one more time to those who missed it. It depicts his father, Hugh Ragland (right), priming tobacco with associate, Albert Downey, and his mule, George, while others in the background put tobacco in the curing barn. Ronald says the scene is along Durham Road in Granville County where he grew up. Signed prints of “Memories,” measuring 16 by 20 inches, are available in full color on museum-quality paper, for $60 (includes shipping).
