Coyote Brand Pancake Mix

The RockPort Hutterite Colony of Magrath are the manufacturers of Coyote Pancake Mix. The Original Rockport mill was first established on Rockport Colony in Alexandria, South Dakota in 1895. Coyote Pancake Mix was registered in 1897. A millwright was hired to design and setup up a forty-barrel flour mill driven by a water wheel from the flow of James River. In time, the pancake flour was packaged into a self rising pancake flour. The name Coyote Pancake Mix was named after the high population of Coyotes in the area.

The Rockport Colony in Magrath, Alberta, was established in 1918 and is an offshoot from the South Dakota colony. Of course, with the new colony formed in Alberta naturally Coyote Pancake Mix was produced there as well. It is produced using a 40 barrel Midget Marvel Mill since 1928 to 1992. There after because of the huge demand of Coyote Pancake Mix, production facilities have been increased.

The main ingredient in the pancake mix is grain. The grain used is the colony's own wheat providing it meets the Canadian Wheat Board's No 1 rating, and the protein and moisture level is adequate to meet the government specifications. At times when demand exceeds the supply of wheat provided by the colony, wheat is then purchased from the Canadian Wheat Board. Because of the nature process and ingredients, Coyote Pancake Mix is highly recommended by the Canadian Heart Association.

The Hutterite Colony itself is a self sufficient community with strong values in sharing and taking responsibility as a whole. To learn more about the colony, please see the following sections on their religion, dress code, language, where they are located.
