King Arthur Flour
Norwich, VT
King Arthur Flour is an employee-owned company whose mission is to inspire connections and community by spreading the joy of baking. Founded in 1790, King Arthur Flour was a family-owned business for five generations. By the 1990s, Frank and Brinna Sands were looking to retire, and they wanted to be sure King Arthur Flour would be in good and caring hands. They looked to a different kind of family: their employees. By 2004, the company was 100% employee owned.
They're focused on quality overall, but the employee-owners at King Arthur Flour have the agency to emphasize their other goals too, like social and environmental responsibility and wellness. They support community groups locally and across the United States, and offer every employee 40 hours of paid volunteering time per year. As they like to say, baking starts all the way back in the wheat fields. King Arthur Flour sources responsibly, never bleaches their flour, and carefully measures the protein content to give you the same fantastic results every time you bake.
