The shop
From a fair cart to a freight room.
Inez and Walt Pardo popped kettle corn at county fairs for seven summers before they moved the kettle indoors, into the old freight room of the Marlow Falls depot.
Small batches, every morning.
The kettle holds enough for about twenty large bags at a time, so we pop all morning and stop when the shelves are full. What is on the counter was made that day.
Walt runs the kettle. Inez runs the counter, the tins and the school orders. Their nephew Teo drives the December deliveries.
What we keep to
Popped the same day
Bags on the counter are from that morning. Tins are filled the day before pickup.
Ask us what is in it
Every batch has its own list at the counter. Ask us what is in each flavor and we read it to you.
Schools first in spring
February to May, the kettle runs for fundraisers on Mondays, when the shop is closed.
