We make our sweet and savory popcorn the artisan way - by hand in small batches. It takes longer, but we think you can taste the difference. In our kitchen in San Francisco , we pop our kernels in heavy copper kettles, and toss it while still warm with buttery organic caramel or one of our spice blends. We are ruthless about batches that don't meet our standards - "dud" batches never end up in the hands or mouths of our customers. And, our USDA certified organic popcorn is made when we get orders for it - and not a minute sooner.
479° Popcorn is dedicated to supporting small family farms, fair trade practices, sustainable agriculture and organic farming. Practicing and cultivating artisan craftsmanship is our passion!

Our Story
Most of our ingredients come from family farms in California, and we source locally whenever possible: our organic butter comes from Straus in Marin; our organic nuts from San Joaquin Valley Farms in Fresno; our organic popcorn from a small family farm that has been growing organic crops since 1945, way before organic became a trend.
-Jean, owner
479° Popcorn began with a fond childhood memory of cozy evenings spent playing cards and devouring fresh popcorn with my family. My mom refused to serve anything other than organic popcorn cooked in a sturdy stovetop popper that she'd hand crank until the kernels turned into a delightful fluffy treat. Then, as now, a bowl of popcorn could turn an ordinary moment into a special occasion.
Over the years, I experimented with making my own organic popcorn and flavoring it with exotic seasonings inspired by my international upbringing and training at Le Cordon Bleu in London. In the process, I came upon the discovery that 479 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimal temperature for popping corn. I knew immediately that this would be the name of my popcorn company, because it reflects the careful attention to detail that I work so hard to incorporate into every single element of the business, from the pristine ingredients to the beautiful packaging to the avid dedication to customer satisfaction.
These days, as I make popcorn by hand in the San Francisco kitchen I started with my husband, I am reminded of how simple, honest pleasures are often the most rewarding. As we continue the tradition of making this satisfying organic snack by hand, using the highest quality ingredients, our hope is that 479° Popcorn will become a treasured indulgence for you too.
