How It's Made
Our corn is grown in the fertile soils of the Tennessee Valley. We use a hybrid butterfly seed which has been selected for high yield (leaving less unpopped) and expansion (producing a large, fluffy kernel).
Our corn is grown on contract for us by local farmers, using seeds we provide. From time to time we have grown popcorn on our farm, but most of our land is not optimal for grain production so we typically contract with experienced local grain farmers to ensure the quality of our product. (The Merritt farm is primarily a beef cattle farm with hundreds of acres of hay fields & pasture.)
Above are pictures from the 2010 growing season. Some of the pictures may show equipment or facilities of the local farmers who grow popcorn for us.
