"Aunt Bean"
Growing up as a little girl, my older brother, Michael, would call me Beaney from the cartoon show Beaney & Cecil. The name stuck, and then, after he had children of his own, I became Aunt Bean. Now, after 40+ years, over 30 nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, and great-great nephews, I am still affectionately referred to as Aunt Bean.
My love of popcorn started when I was a child, and anyone who knows me well knows that it is my Achilles Heel. I LOVE popcorn and can remember my mother making it on Friday nights in a kettle on the stove while we watched the Dukes of Hazard. My affection for the fluffy stuff continues today, and I am happy to now be able to share my addiction.
Please enjoy our wonderful flavors and make sure to try them all!
All my best for a popping good day!
Aunt Bean
Growing up, I really did not eat popcorn. As I got older, I started to acquire a taste for the buttery sensation. It really “popped” into our lives when I became a mom. I still can't believe it took me this long to discover how popcorn is made! I never knew it grew from regular corn on the cob, and you just let it dry before popping it! I had to share this with my grandchildren; we were all fascinated.
Fast-forward to meeting Aunt Bean. She walked daily with her dog and would pop into every neighbor’s yard if they were out. That is how we met and how she, I, and another neighbor became such great friends! I never knew how a person could love popcorn as much as Colleen. When the three ladies had movie nights, she would sit down and eat a whole bowl to herself—I do not mean a normal bowl either. We started talking about having our own business, making delicious, buttery, gourmet-style popcorn. Here we are today, making our own flavors and special oils and pouring love into our craft.
