Our Story

Weaver Popcorn Company was founded by Reverend Ira Weaver in 1928. The company has always partnered with the most progressive farmers to grow and produce the world's best popcorn, while making food quality and safety the most important criteria in its decision making. By focusing solely on popcorn, the company grew into the largest vertically-integrated popcorn company in the world, delivering a broad array of popcorn products including seed, bulk kernels, portion packs, microwave popcorn and ready-to-eat popcorn in more than 90 countries worldwide.

This fourth generation family owned operation now has three independent operating companies, including Weaver Popcorn Hybrids, Weaver Popcorn Bulk and Weaver Popcorn Manufacturing. Whether it's developing new hybrids and selling seed to growers, farming and conditioning popcorn for bulk sales, or manufacturing microwave and ready-to-eat popcorn on behalf of national and private label retail brands, these three companies can service any popcorn need that exists around the world.

Weaver Popcorn Hybrids has an in-house hybrid research and breeding program where its proprietary seeds are developed on Weaver-managed farms and made available for sale.
