Today we put all the ears of popcorn through that vintage corn sheller. It took us a little over an hour to shell all the ears. We filled up a no. 3 tub with popcorn - over 6 inches deep and 24 inches wide. This old tub has seen many uses over the years for various animal feeds, water, storage, etc. This is a good example of why you should never throw anything away on the farm: someday you will find a good use for it! And now it holds popcorn! I will probably transfer the popcorn to some shallow flat pans to dry further, as it is too deep in the tub for good drying. But this sure is a lot of popcorn!! I have never seen this much popcorn before in my whole life! And it's especially nice to know that WE grew it right here on Honey B Farm! And it is organic, too! We use no chemicals on what we grow to eat.
