More than popcorn.
At Petersen Family Farm, we have worked to bring the best from the land for five generations.
While we have a long history that we draw from, we are always evolving and focused on the present. We believe that the land has the potential to produce life, create community and re-establish a connection with nature.
Small, local and family owned.
At Petersen Family Farm, we believe the land has the potential not only to produce life-sustaining food, but also to create community and re-establish a connection with nature.
As we grow in an increasingly urban area, our mission - to share and experience the language and energy of life - is more important and urgent than ever. The land brings together people from many different backgrounds, with many different interests, to experience a space where we move in time with the seasons. We appreciate the wonder of the earth, and hold space for others to feel it too.
We grow our non-GMO popcorn just like people have for thousands of years. We let it dry naturally in the fields before hand-harvesting it and bringing it indoors to complete its curing process. On our small family farm, the long rows of rustling corn are a reminder not only of our connection to each other but also to whoever first tried heating up a dried kernel of popcorn - and got a surprise to celebrate.
