About
The ‘Corn
What is the shelf life of your popcorn?
Our sealed bags have an 8 week shelf life. All popcorn is sealed and shipped, so it makes the perfect gift!
Do you use peanut oil?
No, all of our popcorn is popped in 100% coconut oil! However, we do handle and process peanuts and tree nuts in our shop. Although we take every measure to ensure that our equipment is clean, we cannot guarantee that no cross-contamination has occurred. Please use your own discretion when consuming our delicious product.
Where are your popcorn kernels grown? Are they genetically-modified (GMO)?
Our non-GMO kernels are grown on our farm in Shepherdstown, WV. However, as every farmer knows, sometimes crop yields vary. Occasionally we supplement with other local non-GMO kernels.
What kind of popcorn kernels do you use?
We use two different types of kernels: yellow and mushroom kernels. Each kernel type is uniquely suited for specific popcorn flavors. For example, yellow kernels are perfect for savory flavors because the nooks and crannies allow the seasonings we add to grab on to each individual kernel. Mushroom kernels are perfect for caramel corn and other crisp shell flavors, because the round shape of mushroom kernels hold up well to the weight of our decadent caramel coating.
Where is your popcorn made?
Every single bag of Mountaineer Popcorn is popped, flavored, and packaged at our shops in historic downtown Shepherdstown, WV and Martinsburg, WV.
So many flavors! Which do I choose?
Some favorites include Buffalo Cheddar, Caramel, Fire Roasted Sweet Corn and Movie Night…..Still undecided? Try a variety!
Are all of your popcorn flavors available throughout the year?
Some of our flavors do rotate, please follow us on social media for updates. If you are looking for something particular, please see the Custom orders section above

Stepping into Shepherdstown for the farmers market, I expected a charming morning. What I didn’t expect was discovering Mountaineer Popcorn, a local treasure that instantly earned a spot among the region’s must‑visit stops.Coworkers had told me their popcorn was “amazing,” but that turned out to be a dramatic understatement. Sampling it for the first time, I ordered a small caramel and a small kettle corn—an error in judgment I regret only because I should have gone straight for the large. Each bite delivered that perfect balance of crunch, sweetness, and freshness that only true popcorn artisans achieve. As someone who is admittedly picky (I’m a devoted Whirley Pop user at home), I was genuinely impressed.Beyond the exceptional popcorn, the experience revealed something even more remarkable: the integrity of the staff. After making my purchase, I unknowingly left my wallet on the counter and drove off. They found my business card, called me immediately, and kept it safe until I returned. When I tried to offer a small reward for their honesty, they declined with sincere humility. That kind of character is rare—and it speaks volumes about the heart of this small-town gem. Mountaineer Popcorn is more than a snack stop; it’s a reminder that great food and good people often go hand in hand. A delightful find in a lovely town, and absolutely worth a return visit.Posted on Google![]()
