I'm a customer for life!

Welcome to the Mecca for popcorn lovers! Everything in this store is about popcorn, even the…read morebook, '1000 Places to Go Before You Die'. Whirlypop poppers, microwave popcorn in every variety, popcorn bowls, popcorn oils, individual paper containers, popcorn seasonings and SO many varieties of popcorn. My personal favorite is Tiny Tender White because it has NO hulls (you know, those irritating thin shells that get stuck in your teeth? ) Tiny Tender Yellow has almost no hulls but a bit more flavor. As the name implies, these pop up quite small. There's flavor added to the microwave packs or I'll use the butter flavored popcorn oil in a Whirlypop to give them a little flavor. The store, despite being in the middle of nowhere, can be very busy, probably a result of large arrow signs on the highway that say 'Popcorn'. And who doesn't love popcorn?

We went here yesterday and LOVED it. Since I am an avid popcorn eater, the organic popcorn here is…read moredefinitely cheaper than what you would find at Whole Foods. Also, I was impressed with the organic milk. The milk here contains no preservatives, hormones, GMOs, AND the cows that produce the milk are not fed GMO feed. At Meijer, however, their organic milk does not make the same claim about the feed for the cows. I will be getting my milk here from now on. Though I will only drink it sparingly, I will have it on hand for oatmeal and cereal. I am so glad I found out about this place.

The business is nestled in the center of downtown next door to other small business establishments . What immediately sets it apart is the small flowered arch at the entrance door. That small, but mighty, soft touch served to welcome me in prior to opening the door. Once inside, I was warmly greeted by the owner. She's a petite woman with an amazingly large personality and warmth. She was so genuine and welcoming. I was able to sample several different popcorn flavors, each as unique as the rest. Every option was gluten free, with the exception of S'Mores which was the favorite of my adult sons. I opted for the Razzleberry, Sweet Heat and Dill, yes- Dill. The razzleberry was quickly devoured on my drive home, the rest didn't last the weekend. The shop also offers small candy jellies and bottled soda, a throwback touch that was nice to see. I felt welcomed here, almost as if the flowered arch invited me in at the behest of the owner. Once inside, the flavors and options allowed me to peruse awhile. I'll definitely be back.
