A Culture of Belonging
Baking is both personal and communal. It’s a legacy of family traditions, evolutions, and, most of all, love. At King Arthur Baking Company, we believe that baking is for all, yet we recognize the exclusion and disregard many underserved communities have faced. That’s why we are committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming baking community, taking meaningful steps to ensure all bakers feel they belong.

More on the Power of Baking

The Power of Baking
When you bake, you bake joy.The joy of measuring and mixing. The joy of being part of a tradition and contributing to a craft. And of course, the joy your cookies, cakes, breads, and pies bring to your life and the lives of others.

Community Stewardship
Our employee owners give back with their skills, time, and dollars to advance equity in our communities through Volunteering, Civic Engagement, and Matching Donations.

The change I think is most important for the hospitality industry to focus on this year is the hiring and promotion of more women of color in leadership roles. While there is much diversity in the service and hourly staff, it is often not reflected in the higher rungs of the 'ladder.'

The rise: a history of American biscuits
“So ubiquitous were freshly baked biscuits — at our table and the dinner tables of most other Southerners I knew, as well as at gas stations, restaurants, and drive-thrus — that I never really thought about why biscuits were synonymous with the South, much less considered that they are one of the most foundational baked goods in America, as old as the country itself.”
