It’s nice when such delights can be had and shared from a small handful of seeds. Pre–1885 yellow kernelled seed maintained by the PA Dutch and brought into the market in 1988 by Southern Exposure Seed Exchange.

(You thought we had anything left at the end of the day to actually cook any of those veggies we so lovingly nurtured for market?). Fact is, we eat a LOT of popcorn around here, and I am so glad we have found a cultivar that we can reliably mature in NW Washington. A product of the Podoll family’s inspiring farm-based breeding program at Prairie Road Organics in Fullerton, ND, Dakota Black produces show-stopping 6-7” glossy garnet-black ears on sturdy plants. Kernels pop up pure white. Talking with Theresa Podoll years ago she told us had been working to select for a rounder kernel shape which they consider to produce superior popcorn, and we have continued to work with that aesthetic in mind.
