A Little Piece of Our Farm, Worth Sharing
Looking for a food gift with a story? Free Day Popcorn is grown on our multi-generational family farm in Nebraska, near the Kansas border. From popcorn you can pop right on the cob to big, round Mushroom kernels made for homemade caramel corn, we grow popcorn that's a little different from what you'll find on the grocery store shelf.
We're happy to help editors, writers and creators with product samples, farm and product information, and images for upcoming features.
OUR MOST UNEXPECTED GIFT
🌽 Popping Ears™ — Popcorn You Pop Right on the Cob
Yes, it's really popcorn — still on the cob it grew on.
Free Day Popping Ears™ are real ears of popcorn grown on our Nebraska family farm and hand-picked from the field. Place an ear in a brown paper bag and pop it in the microwave, and the kernels pop right from the cob. It's part snack, part experience, and a fun way to see exactly where popcorn comes from.
Each ear is individually sealed, making Popping Ears an easy fit for stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, family activities, holiday table favors, farm-to-table gifts and anyone who loves a gift they've probably never seen before.

FOR THE MAKER
🍿 Omega Mushroom™ — Made for Caramel Corn
Not all popcorn is the same — especially when caramel is involved.
Our Omega Mushroom™ Popcorn pops into the big, round pieces you often see in gourmet popcorn shops. Its sturdy shape holds up to caramel, chocolate, cheese and other coatings without crumbling, making it a favorite for homemade caramel corn, kettle corn, popcorn balls and holiday treats.
It's a fun gift for home cooks, bakers, popcorn lovers and the person who's always making something to share.

THE STORY BEHIND THE KERNELS
Small Farm. Big Flavor.
Free Day Popcorn Company was founded by Nate and Stacey Freitag in 2015, but popcorn has been part of our family farm much longer than that. Nate's family has grown popcorn here for generations.
We started Free Day because we wanted people to experience popcorn the way we knew it — fresh from the farm, with a connection to the people and place that grew it.
Today, we grow our popcorn near Byron, Nebraska, package and ship it ourselves, and are raising four daughters alongside the business. When you choose Free Day, you're supporting our family farm directly — not a boardroom of corporate shareholders.
Farm-Grown. Simple. Traceable.
🌽 Non-GMO
✡ Star-K Kosher Certified
🌾 Naturally Gluten-Free*
💛 100% Whole Grain
🚜 Grown on our Nebraska Family Farm
*Our popcorn is naturally gluten-free. See individual product information for processing and allergen details.
