As wheat harvest rolls across Kansas and surrounding states, it is a reminder that home baking is the result of the hard work of so many farmers each year.

The Home Baking Association (HBA) has been promoting baking at home for over 100 years. Congratulations to newly retired leaders, Sharon Davis and Charlene Patton, for their passion and leadership to this organization to educate and foster the practice of home baking.

The HBA is now under new leadership of Chris Kirby as Executive Director and Nicholas Beatty, Digital Marketing Manager. The HBA will be based in Oklahoma City, OK. Contact information can be found at https://www.homebaking.org/contact/.
