Sustainable goodness
BQ Farms are solar powered and constantly improving their energy independent operations.
How it does good
Shining light on the problem with industrial farming
Industrial farming is filled with environmental concerns and problems for family farmers. In an effort to bring better produced snacks into the world, co-founders Bjorn and Jamie combined family farming with serious sustainability measures. BQ Farms has a hands on approach to growing their crops which ensures high quality results all around. Their facilities rely on solar energy, and they pop their corn using sunlight. They started out with giant hemispheric cookers in the Hudson Valley and moved on to a solar barn in 2017. Right now, they're producing all the energy they use, making their farms energy independent.

supporting key causes
The BjornQorn farm has a one acre field that is only mowed once a year, so that it can become a field of wildflowers and support pollinators like the monarch, instead of a sorta-pointless grass lawn. -
low carbon footprint
The clear plastic bags they use are easier to recycle/upcycle than most popcorn bags, and they use less energy to make. They also say their clear packaging is a physical representation of their transparency. -
responsible sourcing
BjornQorn opperate their own facilities in New York state, and share their solar technology. They also pay all their volunteers and keep their practices fair for all workers.
How to use it
Mix it in with your trail mix or eat it plain.
When you're done...
The bag is recyclable through TerraCycle by following our special instructions.
These are general guidelines for broadly-recyclable materials. Check with your local recycler to confirm what they take.
