There is a very nice article about The King Arthur Flour Company in the 
November issue of "Smithsonian" magazine.  There is a very short abstract 
on the Smithsonian web site: 
http://www.smithsonianmag.si.edu/smithsonian/issues00/nov00/flour.html

King Arthur recently opened their Baking Education Center (nice description 
in the Smithsonian article), located next to their retail store in Norwich, 
Vermont.  They offer demonstrations, hands-on classes and classes for 
professional bakers.  The complete schedule is on their web site.  Go to
