Nebraska's Preferred Popcorn Makes "The Best Popcorn In The World"

15 years ago, when Bhavesh Shah was tasked with finding the best popcorn in the world for the Sathyam Theatre in Chennai, India, he had no idea that he'd soon be on a flight to Nebraska in the middle of winter. Preferred Popcorn in Chapman, Nebraska (a member of GROW Nebraska since 2007) showed Shah around their cooperative farming organization, and soon, Shah was convinced that Preferred Popcorn fit the bill. 


Since that day 15 years ago, Preferred Popcorn has been providing the popcorn that has become a staple in Sathyam Theatre's famous flavor-it-yourself popcorn. The high-yield, large kernels make the best theatre popcorn around. The personal touch makes it all the better. “What I love about working with them is how it’s not become a corporate set up. It has remained farmer-run where the CEO is himself on the tractor during planting season," said Shah.

College Trip to Peru Sparks World-Changing Nebraska Soap Business

Six years ago, Andrew Vrbas was a budget-strapped college student making soap in his college apartment. He had an idea for a business that would help change the lives of people around the world. After just five years in business, his Pacha Soap Co™ enterprise is already doing that. The business that he and his wife, Abi, started in Hastings in 2013 has donated 3.4 million bars of soap to people in developing countries, has created 256 jobs in Nebraska and around the world, has provided 74,078 children with hand-washing education and has created wells to provide 4,000 people with clean water. And in 2017, Whole Foods honored Pacha Soap with its 2017 Supplier of the Year award.
