About this listen

In this engaging episode of "Become a Popcorn Genius," host Frank DeMaio interviews Carlos from Swiss Chard Farm, who shares his journey from construction to becoming a local entrepreneur with his wife, Julia. The couple began by selling homemade jams and jellies and expanded into the popcorn business after encountering a kettle corn vendor. They started with simple flavors, including a unique sweet and spicy variant, and navigated the challenges of obtaining a cottage food license and starting with a small popcorn maker, which they eventually upgraded due to increasing demand.

Throughout the conversation, Carlos emphasizes the importance of community support and discusses their plans to further expand by acquiring a food trailer to sell their goods on-site. Carlos's story highlights the entrepreneurial spirit, the role of community engagement, and the adaptability required to succeed in the local food market, making it an inspiring episode for aspiring entrepreneurs.
