Ingredients
Good Food Has Good Roots
Good food begins long before it reaches your kitchen table.
It begins with the people who grow it, the land they care for,
and the thoughtful choices made along the way.
At GoodGate, we believe the story behind an ingredient matters as much as the ingredient itself. We seek out farmers and producers who are preserving agricultural traditions, caring for the land,
and bringing something meaningful to the food we eat.
Our signature mix combines whole oats, heritage wheats,
and 100% pure maple sugar.
These are the people and places behind every bag.
Whole Oats
Hearty, whole-grain goodness.
Oats give our signature mix its distinctive texture and rustic charm. We choose organic whole oats because they are a proven nutrient-dense powerhouse - packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. By gently rolling them into quick-cook oat flakes, they easily absorb our mix's ideal wet ingredients of buttermilk and egg, unlocking and maximizing their nutritional value.
We love the wholesome, fiber-rich goodness oats bring to breakfast, and the way they complement the earthy flavor of our heritage wheats. They are the ultimate foundation for a pancake that is delicious, deeply satisfying, and naturally nourishing.
Heritage Wheats
RED FIFE . WHITE SONORA . STONE-MILLED.
We source our wheat from Oatman Farms in Gila Bend, Arizona, where Dax and Leslie Hansen are revitalizing their family land through regenerative agriculture and the revival of heritage grains.
Red Fife is a robust heritage wheat with a rich, complex flavor. First cultivated in North America in the 1840s, this historic grain is prized for its hearty profile and exceptional baking qualities.
White Sonora is one of the Southwest’s oldest heritage wheats, grown in the region since the 1600s. Its naturally sweet flavor and distinctive appeal bring a beautiful balance to our blend.
Both varieties are Regenerative Organic Certified®, harvested, and stone-milled right on the farm. By using traditional stone-milling methods, the entire wheat kernel is retained - bran, germ, and endosperm - preserving the grain's natural nutrients. This process brings the rich flavor, deep history, and wholesome integrity of Oatman Farms straight to our Harvest Pancake Mix.

Maple Sugar
PURE MAPLE . NATURAL SWEETNESS.
We source our Regenerative Organic Certified® maple sugar from the forests of Marshfield, Vermont, where the changing seasons bring the annual rhythm of the maple harvest.
Our sugar is crafted by The Forest Farmers, an organization founded by forester and maple researcher Dr. Michael Farrell. What began with a college field trip grew into a lifelong pursuit of understanding the remarkable resources found within a woodland ecosystem.
Today, The Forest Farmers practice responsible forest stewardship, harvesting pure tree sap while protecting the biodiversity and long-term health of the timberlands that sustain them.
A touch of this forest-grown sweetness brings our entire mix together.
