About Us

Our Story

What started as a father and his four sons selling family-recipe pops at the farmer’s market has developed into more than a dozen stores across the south. Born from a vision of sharing delicious, high-quality treats with family and friends, our gluten-free pops are made in small batches to ensure the best flavor, and are made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible. We constantly put on our chef’s hats and thinking caps to find you the best flavors and ingredients around.
