Start with my Movie Night Kit
The same Movie Theater Butter coconut oil and 1, 2 or 3 bags of my popcorn. Pop it in a pot you already own.
The popper Farmer Bob uses himself
After wearing out a long list of lighter poppers, this is the one we settled on, and the one we run in our test pop kitchen.
- Heavy-gauge base spreads the heat, so fewer scorched pieces and fewer unpopped kernels.
- Geared hand crank keeps the kernels moving without shaking the pan.
- Room for mushroom popcorn to pop into full round balls.
- Pours straight from the lid into your bowl.
Pick your popcorn
"Mushroom is what I'm famous for. But my go-to? White Butterfly." — Farmer Bob
White Butterfly
Small, tender, easy-eating kernels with thin, delicate hulls. Light and crisp — the one Farmer Bob pops at home.
Mushroom
Big, round, sturdy pops that hold up to caramel, kettle corn and heavy toppings.
The secret is the oil
Our Movie Theater Butter Flavor coconut oil is what gives theater popcorn that golden, buttery taste. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons to the popper, drop in your kernels and crank.
One Farmer, One Field™
Farmer Bob plants the seeds, raises the crop and harvests it himself, right here in Princeton, Kansas — so you always know who grew your popcorn.
Questions
What's in the set?
One heavy-duty stovetop popcorn popper, one 30 oz jar of Movie Theater Butter Flavor coconut oil, and two or three 2 lb bags of popcorn — your choice of White Butterfly, Mushroom, or a mix.
How do I use the popper?
Set the burner to high and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil. Drop in three test kernels. When they pop, add a quarter to a third of a cup of kernels, close the lid and crank steadily. Pull it off the heat when the popping slows to one pop every second or two. It takes about four to five minutes.
How do I clean it?
Let the popper cool, then hand wash and dry it fully. Don't soak the gear housing or put it in the dishwasher.
White Butterfly or Mushroom — which should I pick?
White Butterfly is small, tender and easy-eating — Farmer Bob's go-to for a bowl on the couch. Mushroom pops big and round, perfect for caramel corn and coatings. Can't decide? Choose the mix.
