Bjorn Qorn
Bjorn is a Minnesota corn farmer’s son and Jamie is an artist and inventor. The two met at Bard College, where Bjorn became known for his delicious family popcorn recipe and Jamie for his wild concepts and contraptions. During a historic session of catch in New York’s central park, their collaboration was set into motion. Now the two make a cult favorite popcorn and research and experiment with solar power uses in any and every way they can.Bjorn Qorn uses homegrown non-gmo popcorn and season with all-natural, gluten-free, and vegan ingredients. There is no butter or cheese! Bjorn Qorn’s special flavor comes from nutritional yeast, which is a high protein and high B-vitamin seasoning that is popular in vegan cuisine but is especially great on popcorn.What is different about Bjorn Qorn is they use the sun! That’s right this is sun-popped corn. They have perfected their signature recipe using the heat of the sun. At their Kelder’s Farm location in New York they have enormous mirrored reflectors to collect the sun’s rays and focus them on their kettles. Now they also have a solar-electric facility just down the road where they continue their original savory recipe and have more plans in the works.
