A Legacy of Quality Since 1924
Our Century-Long History
Founded in downtown Baltimore in 1924, Barcelona Nut Company began as a pushcart serving customers along the historic cobblestone streets of Fells Point before establishing its first brick-and-mortar storefront.
Over the following decades, the company evolved alongside changing consumer needs. While its retail locations moved several times, the focus gradually shifted from selling single-serve packaged snacks to large-scale manufacturing premium roasted nuts and trail mixes.
In 1998, the Dover, Pennsylvania facility began producing specialty coated popcorn products under the Stonehedge Farms brand, and by 2005, Barcelona Nut Company united under the corporate name Popcorn Alley Inc., while proudly maintaining the Stonehedge Farms brand. At that time, the company’s corporate headquarters relocated to Dover, Pennsylvania, further strengthening its manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
As the business continued to grow, its products reached customers around the world, expanding into international markets including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
The company’s commitment to innovation and excellence has been recognized with numerous honors, including the Agro Achievement Award in 2000 and the Pennsylvania Governor’s Export Excellence Award in 2002.
