When we came to Mom and asked to open a lemonade stand in order to add a few coins to our piggy banks, she said, “Lemonade stands don’t work on an empty country road. Think of something else.”
Grandpa offered to toss the seed in the planter and finish the job in one pass, but the kids insisted . . . this was their corn. They would do the planting.
So, we turned to what our family does best – farming and chose to plant a few rows of popcorn. After a successful harvest, we opened our first virtual popcorn stand and sold our inventory in a day.
Now entering our sixth year of business, Dad still reminds us he picked the name Bubba-Bug Popcorn. From birth Mom has called us kids by nicknames, Farm Boy and Farm Princess on her blog; ‘Bubba’ and ‘Bug’ around the house. She’s the mom and thinks her nicknames are cute. So, Dad said, “Put them together to make your popcorn name.”
We picked the popcorn – the varieties and time to plant. We hand pick every ear, shell them with an old hand-cranked sheller, and clean with our newly constructed “quality control” center. Then we package and deliver (or mail) to you.
From a white hull-less variety to miniature rainbow ears and strawberry popcorn, Bubba-Bug Popcorn promises to fill all your snacking and gifting needs.
