WASHINGTON, D.C.—The American Bakers Association (ABA) will celebrate the bread community in partnership with the Tiptree World Bread Award Heroes. The 2020 awards will recognize the people behind the baked goods: the bakers, millers, farmers and others in the industry who are going above and beyond to help their community.
“Bakery has a rich history in America, as both a staple in the American diet and as a multi-billion dollar industry” said Katie Juhl, Marketing and Communications Director at ABA. “We are excited to recognize and celebrate the generosity of those in baking community who have stepped up during these challenging times.”
Submit a story of a Bread Hero’s impact on their community, their reach, how they have innovated, their generosity of spirit or their care for the wellbeing of others.

-Tiptree-
Tiptree is headline sponsor of the World Bread Award Heroes USA. The first Tiptree preserves were made in 1885 and Tiptree jams and preserves are now sold across the world, many of them made with fruit still grown on their farms in Essex www.tiptree.com
Tiptree has always had strong links with the USA. Scott Goodfellow, Wilkin & Sons Joint Managing Director commented, “C. J. Wilkin, the son of our founder, toured several states back in the 1890s, to learn about fruit growing and jam making. New York City has a global reputation for excellent food, so it makes the perfect spot for the inaugural overseas Tiptree World Bread Awards. We are very much looking forward to discovering the world of artisan bread that is available across the USA.”
