Our story

Hand-popped in Dallas since 2017.

Big D Kettle Corn is a family-run popcorn company born at North Texas festivals. No storefront, no shortcuts — just a kettle, a crowd, and the smell that draws them in.

Bags of Big D Kettle Corn

Just follow the smell.

We started in 2017 with one kettle and a simple idea: make the freshest, crispest kettle corn in North Texas and bring it straight to where the people are — festivals, ballgames, and block parties all over the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Every batch is still popped by hand, the same way, all day long. We don’t sit on inventory or ship from a warehouse full of stale bags. If you’re holding a bag of Big D, it was popped fresh — and odds are you found us by following your nose across North Texas.

Today that one kettle has grown into seven flavors, a national mail-order shop, gift towers, fundraisers, and catering — but it’s still the same family, still the same kettle, still the same crunch.

How it’s made

Small batches, big kettle, by hand.

We pop in small batches in a big steel kettle, stirring by hand so every kernel gets that signature sweet-and-salty glaze and nothing scorches. No automation, no pre-bagged filler.

The corn is Non-GMO and the recipe’s vegan — just kernels, oil, sugar, and salt, popped fresh and bagged on the spot. Seven flavors, from the Original to Honey Habanero, all made the same careful way.

Come find us this weekend.

We’ll be popping somewhere across North Texas — see where, or order a bag to your door.
