Robin Hood is an iconic brand in the North American baking landscape, particularly in Canada where it has been a staple in kitchens for generations. The brand was originally established in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, in the early 20th century, quickly becoming synonymous with quality milled wheat products. Known for its distinctive green packaging and the imagery of the legendary archer, the brand caters to both home bakers and professional food services with varieties ranging from all-purpose to specialty organic flours.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in Canadian mills located in provinces like Saskatchewan and Ontario, utilizing high-quality Canadian wheat. However, because of its distribution throughout North America and international supply chains, some production also occurs in United States facilities. The brand's identity is deeply rooted in Canadian agricultural history, though its ownership has transitioned through several major food conglomerates over the decades.

Regarding ownership, Robin Hood is currently managed under a split ownership model depending on the market and product line. The consumer retail brand for flour in Canada is owned by the J.M. Smucker Company, while its foodservice and industrial operations are managed separately via partnerships. This ensures that the legacy of the brand remains robust across both retail and commercial sectors.
