It was a passion for popcorn that led Loraine and Steve Lalonde to begin growing a new crop on their certified organic farm in 1997. Several years of experimenting with different seed varieties and production techniques has resulted in “White Lightning”, a product that is winning over popcorn lovers everywhere.
“White Lightning” is grown from a hybrid variety of popcorn seed on the Lalonde’s Tull
ochgorum Farm, situated in the beautiful Chateauguay Valley of South-western Quebec. Because popcorn requires a longer growing season than most types of corn, Steve and Loraine consider their area to be at the northern limit of successfully producing this crop. To their knowledge, they are the only commercial producers of certified organic popcorn in Quebec. Once popped, White Lightning possesses a delicate, crispy texture, and a slightly nutty flavour*, vastly different from the more common yellow popcorn varieties with which most people are familiar, and world away from microwave popcorn! We invite you to try this unique, organically grown treat and hope that you’ll get hooked on “White Lightning”, too!
