The Story of Jane's Popcorn: Small-Batch and Handcrafted Since 2005
Every bag of Jane's Popcorn starts the same way it did in 2005: one small batch at a time, made by hand. That isn't a slogan we dreamed up. It's simply how this popcorn has always been made, and it's a big part of why people keep coming back to it. This is the story of where Jane's Popcorn came from, who makes it now, and what the company still stands for.
Where Jane's Popcorn Began
The company was started in 2005 by Jane, who gave it her recipes, her name, and her way of doing things. From the beginning, this was popcorn made in small batches rather than mass-produced by the truckload. That approach shaped everything that came after, from how the kernels are popped to how each flavor is built.
A New Chapter, the Same Recipes
In 2016, the current owners took the reins. Rather than reinvent what people already loved, they kept Jane's recipes, kept her name on the bag, and kept her way of doing things. They reorganized the business as Simply Delicious 1 LLC and moved production into a kitchen in West Bend, Wisconsin.
Today it remains a small, woman-owned, family-run company. That matters when you're making food. Decisions are made by people who taste the product, stand in the kitchen, and answer for what goes out the door. You can read more about the people behind the popcorn on our About Us page.
Made in West Bend, Wisconsin
Everything is made in our West Bend, Wisconsin production kitchen. Being a Wisconsin popcorn maker isn't just a location on a label. It keeps the work close, the batches small, and the standards personal. When something is handcrafted in the same kitchen every day, there's nowhere to hide a shortcut.
What Small-Batch and Handcrafted Actually Mean
Plenty of brands use the words "small-batch" and "handcrafted." Here's what they mean for Jane's Popcorn specifically. Every batch is made in small batches by hand, not run through an automated line built for volume. That takes more time and more attention, and it's a trade we're glad to make.
A Few Details We Can Point To
The popcorn seed we pop is non-GMO. Our gourmet cheese flavors are made with real cheese paste rather than powder, which is a different thing to taste and to make. These are the kinds of choices that don't always show up in a quick glance at a bag, but they show up in the eating.
More Than 45 Flavors
Jane's Popcorn is made in over 45 flavors, and the range is part of the fun. On one end you'll find classics like caramel corn, the kind of flavor that made people fall for gourmet popcorn in the first place. On the other end are bolder picks like Dill Pickle and Fat Boy's Dangerous Double Cheese, for the folks who like a little adventure in their snack drawer.
Whether you lean sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, there's room to explore. You can browse the full lineup anytime on our shop-all collection.
Three Ways to Make It Part of Your Routine
Over the years, the company has grown around a few clear ideas. There are the gourmet flavors themselves, sold by the bag. There are gift tins, which turn the popcorn into something you can hand to someone else. And there's the monthly Flavor Club, a subscription that sends a rotating pick to your door so you always have something new to try. If you like the idea of a fresh flavor arriving each month, take a look at the Flavor Club subscription.
Popcorn That Helps Your Team
There's also a fundraiser program built for schools and teams. Instead of selling something forgettable, groups can raise money with popcorn people actually want to eat. If your school or team is looking for a fundraiser, you can start a fundraiser with us.
Fresh-Popped and Shipped Nationwide
Because the popcorn is popped fresh, timing matters. Orders are popped and shipped nationwide within 48 hours, so what lands on your doorstep is close to how it left the kitchen. Shipping is free on orders over $49.
Doing Things the Honest Way
The through-line of Jane's Popcorn is continuity. The recipes are Jane's. The name is Jane's. The way of doing things, small batches, real ingredients we can point to, and popcorn made by hand, is Jane's too. What changed in 2016 was the address and the paperwork, not the character of the popcorn.
That's the honest way, and it's the only way this company knows how to work. When you open a bag, you're getting popcorn that a small, family-run team in West Bend, Wisconsin made in a small batch, by hand, and stood behind. Thanks for being part of the story.
