Our farm is located in Calhoun County, Iowa. This north-central part of Iowa has flat land and fertile black soil, which is why our family settled here in the late 1800's. Our farm has been in our family for over 75 years. On this family-owned farm, we produce corn, soybeans, and popcorn. My grandfather used the name "Farmers Best" when he produced and sold feed for livestock back in the 1940's and 1950's. The tradition of quality on our farm continues today. We chose the same "Farmers Best" name because we feel we have the best tasting and highest quality white popcorn available. We grow our GMO free popcorn in a field, on a cob, just like conventional corn or sweet corn. It is harvested by our combine, dried to the correct moisture and then conditioned. After conditioning, the popcorn is packaged into bulk packages and microwave bags. Before shipment, we store the popcorn in our climate-controlled warehouse, something you won't find with large commercial popcorn companies. Popcorn is a natural food and a healthy snack that is low in calories and fat. We hope you enjoy the great tasting Iowa popcorn that our family has taken pride in growing.
Thank you for choosing Farmers Best Gourmet Popcorn!
