King Arthur Baking Company

As part of our Grains for Good initiative, we're on a mission to source 100% of our flour from regeneratively grown wheat by 2030, starting with our Golden Whole Wheat Flour. This flour is sustainably grown in partnership with Farmer Direct Foods and is easy to bake with, making it simple to create wholesome, delicious recipes. Ready to try it?

We're honored that our esteemed Board has been named Best Private Board of the Year in New England! We're also thrilled that the Best Public Board of the Year was awarded to a fellow Vermont B Corp: our friends at Cabot Creamery Cooperative.

Our Environmental Sustainability Manager, Annie Rowell, recently visited Fargo, North Dakota, to meet with North Dakota Trusted Advisor Partnership (ND TAP) partners, a program King Arthur co-founded to provide farmers in North Dakota with educational resources and technical assistance to accelerate the transition to soil-health-focused practices (including no-till, crop rotation, cover cropping, nutrient management). Now in its second year, 33 trained advisors support over 704 farmers, helping create a significant regional impact. North Dakota is a key source of King Arthur's spring wheat, making this work essential to our sustainability goals. Learn more about ND TAP at https://lnkd.in/dhmWKSky

At King Arthur, our business starts with wheat, and wheat starts with healthy soil. As bakers and a certified B Corp, we take our responsibility to soil health seriously. Suzanne McDowell, our VP of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability shares: "When wheat is farmed in a planet-friendly way – less tillage, reduced inputs, cover crops – the health of the soil improves."

What happens when employee ownership and B Corp certification come together? You get a business model that balances purpose with profit, creating value for employees, communities, and society at large. 🌍 💼 At Employee Owned 24, we were thrilled to join The ESOP Association and panelists from King Arthur Baking Company and Pariveda to share insights on integrating B Corp certification into ESOP companies. Together with Suzanne McDowell (she/her), Tiffany Lentz, and Mark Brennan, CPA, we explored our journeys as employee-owned companies (28 years for King Arthur Baking and 14 years for Pariveda) that have embraced B Corp certification. We discussed the alignment between employee ownership and the B Corp mission, our evaluation processes, and how we developed governance models that amplify the value of both structures. This conversation reaffirmed that balancing purpose and profit isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. 💡 Thank you to all who joined this session and contributed to the dialogue! #EmployeeOwned24 #PurposefulProfit #BCorp #EmployeeOwned #BCorpCertified

"As a professionally trained baker, I’ve never shied away from using or recommending time-saving mixes and kits. They save home bakers money and time, and the results are reliable and delicious. But after testing four new mix kits from King Arthur® Baking Company, I found them to be exceptionally high-quality, going way beyond merely reliable." - Meghan Splawn, The Kitchn
