4 Pecatonica River Popcorn was started in 1983 when a District of the Blackhawk Area Council was interested in earning funds for their Scouting adventures by selling popping corn. The sale was so successful that the Blackhawk Area Council and many others joined the popcorn program. Pecatonica River Popcorn is a local family owned company in Livingston, Wisconsin. Attention to detail and quality are the keys to the success of Pecatonica River Popcorn. Corn is ear harvested and then hand sorted to select the most perfect ears. Rather than choosing corn hybrids that have the highest yields, varieties are selected on taste and tenderness. This attention to quality assures excellent taste and a gourmet popcorn product Product Line Up 2.5 lbs.
