King Arthur Flour Company - Since 1790

Red velvet cake and scrumptious cupcakes…artisan bread loaves and whole grain bagels…sweet cinnamon buns and robust pizzas.

Where would we be without flour?

In 1790, a young George Washington was the first man to be named President in a new and fledgling country known as the United States of America. Also in this year, New York State sold its claims to Vermont for $30,000. In 1790, the shoelace was invented and the Supreme Court commenced for the first time. It was also during this year that King Arthur Flour was born.

Headquartered in Norwich, Vermont (which might have been New York if not for some crafty politicking), King Arthur Flour is still doing what it does best 222 years later. Now an employee owned company, King Arthur stands as the Mount Rushmore to many in the culinary arts, as well as reigning as New England’s premiere flour provider, a feat they also have managed to accomplish in every market in which they have held full distribution.

In addition to the deserved accolades that follow such an esteemed institution in its second century of continuous operation, King Arthur not only provides the proverbial rod-they teach a man how to fish. With online and mobile classes, the very best baked delights, from colonial times until today, are at our disposal, from technique to touch.

So go ahead and scarf down that second doughnut. Thanks to King Arthur Flour Co., we can call it patriotic.
