Farmers Popcorn Cob

[Anne F. Goodman]

WE went to the coast over the weekend stopped at Casa De Fruita (Casa De Banditos) anyhow I saw this and had to buy one. Anyone else have you seen it or tried it?

Wow, Anne: Sold in California, grown in Kansas, and packaged in Missouri; truly eccumenical.

'Hadn't seen it before; did you try popping/eating it? BP

NO, I have not tried it but I would like to have one of their signs for the garage.

Riverside MO, may need to make a trip over there.


Must be good, Rachel Ray had it on her show last year.

Sent them an email, hopefully they will take the time to come here and share a story
about how the label came to be.

I have seen and eaten some of this product. Had to have been over 6 or 7 years ago. It's popcorn when you get right down to it. Attractively packaged popcorn. We eat ActII brand most of the time - microwave and enjoy.

In the south, I have seen this offered in the shopping area of "Cracker Barrel" restaurants from Florida to the Carolinas.

Looks like I've got an excuse to drive to Casa de Fruita. Thanks for the tip Anne

I emailed the company several years ago and requested a couple of the signs... They were very prompt and sent me a couple (a little larger than on the corn). I did assure them that I was not going to resell the sign... and I think it would be a very crappy thing to do. We need to be polite, kind, and greatful to businessmen like that.

Lots of popcorn grown around here. Looks like I'll grab a few bushels for the winter. Oh yeah, the sign is cool.

These commentaries reminded me of a very nice gentleman who was a customer of mine in the early 60's. Orville Redenbacher had a Chester Hybrid seed corn business near Valparaiso, Indiana. Note that he was a Purdue graduate and was later granted an honorary doctorate by Purdue. That should bring a smile or a "cool beans" from BP!
