Poppy Handcrafted Popcorn

Asheville, North Carolina

The story of Poppy Handcrafted Popcorn began with a mom of two whose love for homemade popcorn was too big not to share.

After years of making popcorn for after-school snacks and movie nights, a friend suggested, “You should open a popcorn shop!” And it dawned on us: he was totally right!

Challenge accepted.

It took countless hours of research and many batches of not-so-great popcorn, but we started to figure out what worked -- and what didn’t. (Asheville, North Carolina may be “beer city,” but it turns out that beer-flavored popcorn isn’t the best idea.) From our classic olive oil & rosemary to spicy jalapeno cheddar and sweet favorites like dark chocolate pretzel, we never get tired of creating and perfecting our flavors.

Poppy is the kind of snack we always wanted to eat, but it just didn’t exist yet. Simple, natural ingredients, classic and surprising flavors, and that sweet, handcrafted touch are packed into every delicious handful.
