START YOUR KETTLE CORN BUSINESS THE RIGHT WAY

Thinking About Selling Kettle Corn?

Most people who want to sell kettle corn worry about the recipe first. The recipe is the easy part. Where new vendors get stuck is everything around it: which permits you need, which kettle to buy, what a bag really costs you, and which events are worth the booth fee.

The Popcorn Genius Academy

The Academy walks you through your first year selling kettle corn, in order: choosing your kettle, getting permitted, pricing every bag for profit, building a menu that sells, and booking the right events. It’s built for new and part-time vendors working fairs, festivals and farmers markets.
