The
Yoder Popcorn Story
In 1936, Rufus Yoder started growing popcorn
on his family farm. In the Amish custom, he shared his excess
crop with his neighbors and friends. They told their friends
and neighbors about the excellent quality of YODER POPCORN,
and soon a business was born. After Rufus retired, his children
Larry and Pauline, continued to market YODER POPCORN. In
1996, YODER POPCORN was purchased by KIRK'S POPCORN. In
1999, YODER POPCORN was purchased by Rufus' great niece,
Sharon, along with her husband Richard and their youngest
son, Russell. Besides operating the Popcorn Shoppe, they
farm 1,000 acres which includes the acreage around the Shoppe
and also raise hogs. We plan to continue to provide the
Yoder customers with the same excellent quality and service
to which they are accustomed.
