Crooked Stick Pop was founded in 2016, by Pop Master, Julie Tuman, inspired by a fabulous ice pop shop in St Augustine, FL, The Hypo. Julie loves treats, but isn't a sweet eater, so pops made from fruit are the perfect treat for her, and there was nothing like The Hypo in western Mass. So, she decided to quit the "day job" and start the pop biz. With a commitment to supporting as many local producers and makers as possible, Crooked Stick Pops sources over 70% of the fruit used to make our pops from farms located within 50 miles of our pop kitchen. Our pops are more like a fruit smoothie frozen on a stick, as they are completely loaded with fruit.
