How it does good
The supply chain for corn farmers can be tricky to navigate. Often, they're competing with big, commercial farms. The Pipsnacks founders fell in love with unique qualities of heirloom corn and decided to work directly with small family farmers in the U.S. to source their special kernels. By relying on these farmers, their products have more nutritional value than commercially grown popcorn—and a better taste. Pipsnacks honors the history of heirloom corn farming by saving seeds from their harvests to replant later. They work with like-minded suppliers and prioritize treating people with respect. Plus, they make their packaging fully recyclable whenever they're able to.
Third Party Certifications
Pipsnacks
Once upon a time, Jen and her brother Jeff were packing up her Chicago apartment when they found a bag of teeny, tiny heirloom corn kernels. After popping this special little bag of corn, they loved it so much that they found the family farmer who grew it (he was in Indiana). A little while later, Jen, Jeff, and Jeff’s wife Teresa launched their company: the women-owned, minority-owned, family-owned, really great little thing called Pipsnacks.

United StatesNot Bad, Not Great.
I would have liked a bit more flavor.
United StatesKind of strange; cheese balls are way better!
We bought the cheese balls and the crunchies. The cheese balls were great-- good classic flavor and texture. We didn't care for the crunchies at all. The cheese flavoring is off somehow and the pieces are so small, and some were burnt. Will definitely buy the cheese balls again, but not the crunchies.
United StatesHard not to compare to their more processed cousins ...
These taste pretty good, but the crunch is a bit hard, and it's difficult not to compare the flavor to the more intense, glaringly orange "cheese" powder I'm used to from the more processed big-name products. The flavor on these is certainly more subtle, and while they're pretty good, they're not something I get excited to have as a snack, so they end up sitting in the cabinet for a while. So, if you like the experience of a crunchy snack with subtle flavor, you might really enjoy these, but if you're expecting a more sustainable alternative to Cheetos, then you're not going to a get anything close to a 1-to-1 swap.
United StatesFlavor was good!
These were kind of a hard crunch, but the flavor was good!
