12 year-round flavors and a rotating selection of 8 seasonal specialties
From Upstate New York to Daytona Beach: A Popcorn Business with Heart
After moving from upstate New York in 2008, owner Theressa took over her family’s kettle corn tradition and brought it to life at the Daytona Flea & Farmers Market. What started as a small vendor booth has grown into a community favorite with visitors from across the world, including Germany and England, returning year after year for her flavorful creations.
Our Gourmet Popcorn Flavors: Classic, Seasonal & Always Fresh
Theressa’s signature lineup includes 12 year-round flavors and a rotating selection of 8 seasonal specialties. You’ll find buttery caramel, cheesy ranch, cotton candy corn, fruity pebble, dill pickle, sugar-free sweetened with Stevia, and so many more.
She’s always experimenting, often creating new flavors on the fly for special holidays like Valentine’s Day (hello, cinnamon hearts!) or the Fourth of July with red, white, and blue kettle corn.
Why We Use Mushroom Popcorn Kernels for Maximum Flavor
We use premium mushroom popcorn kernels in every batch, not the typical butterfly kind. Why? Because mushroom popcorn pops into beautiful round shapes that hold up better for rich coatings like chocolate, caramel, and savory blends. It’s the perfect canvas for our bold, creative flavors and helps us maintain a delicious crunch in every bite.
