About Us

ABOUT
Our Story

The Bakery @ Hilltop Harvest Homestead is an artisan bakery that has been making fresh, handcrafted Sourdough breads and other baked goods since 2019 in Athens & New York Texas Area.

Gary & Anita moved to the area in 2017 - while caring for sick and elderly parents, Anita was researching the benefits of natural and whole foods in the healing process some could receive. Finding many sources on how Sourdough can benefit your overall health - Anita started a deep dive into perfecting her bakes and taste of these breads. She would bake these breads and goodies, take them with her to care for our parents, and watch their faces light up with the quality and taste, as well as the benefits health they received.

After their passing, Anita kept sharing her bakes with others, and they were happy to get the benefits as well. Several suggested she open her bakery. After much discussion and prayer - Gary and Anita did just that. They grow many of the herbs used in the bakes, as well as the farm-fresh Free-range Eggs used.

Since “artisan” refers to someone who produces something in limited quantities (often using traditional methods), we take pride in preparing small batches of bread, pastries, and other similar items. Thus, we focus more on quality over quantity in everything we do. You’ll also find that we offer certain options; like vegan and gluten-free bakes you won’t find at most other bakeries and can normally accommodate custom orders.

We only use high-quality ingredients in everything we make. We also rely on genuine artisanal baking techniques so that you’ll taste the freshness and quality. If you have a wedding, birthday, office party, or other upcoming special occasion, we would love to make your next event special! Whether you need a custom-made Scone, a batch of Cinnamon Rolls, or something else to please a crowd, we’ll be ready to wow your guests. We ask you make sure to give us plenty of advanced notice so we can ensure the quality and freshness of your order.
