About Us

We're a wife-and-husband duo who has spent years creating and refining recipes for delicious, healthy, plant-based food. We gradually realized that beans are a cornerstone of a whole food plant-based diet.

In 2022 Moonbeans launched out of our own kitchen. We told friends the guest room was unavailable, swapped the air mattress for a 17-cubic-foot fridge/freezer, and bought some truly giant cookware. In May of 2022, we got married.

In 2023, we started selling online and at farmers markets in Chicago. We launched our Bean Club subscription service.

In 2024, we moved into our commercial kitchen space at The Hatchery in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood. In April, our daughter was born. We upgraded our branding to let our simple foods shine.

In 2025, we launched our chickpea granola and bean trail mixes, and introducing nationwide shipping. For Chicago customers, our delicious soy-free tofu and fancy beans are still available for delivery.

We are all about:

• Our customers. From simple ingredients -- first and foremost, beans! -- we make tasty, healthful, easy-to-prepare plant-based foods. Our customers are our first and most important investors.
  
• Our community. We advocate for accessibility to nourishing foods. Everyone should be able to eat well.
  
• Our planet. We strive to contribute to a regenerative food system by sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible, minimizing waste, and being aware of our actions. Eating well includes protecting the planet.

We are imperfect, despite what our mothers tell us. But our chickpea granola – now that is flawless.

Eat your beans!
