LOGAN COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) – Ricky & Charlie’s Old Fashioned Corn on the Cob is available at farmers markets and shops throughout Logan County. The company is run by cousins Ricky Hall and Charlie Moore, both freshmen.
The company started seven years ago when Ricky’s father thought about activities the boys could do together and spend time as a family.
By growing and processing the corn themselves on their family farm, the men learned how to run their company and how to meet the needs of the business.
The business helped the family through difficult times. When Charlie was five years old, he was diagnosed with cancer. Ricky donated half of the proceeds and all the money raised by the business went to Charlie’s treatment. In the year As of 2020, Charlie is in remission from cancer, and plays football for Logan County.
Recently, the boys donated 50 pounds of popcorn to a movie screening at Adairville Elementary.
According to Jessica Hall, Ricky’s mother, the boys are the fifth generation to farm their family’s land in Logan County. “It’s been a good project for them to work after school and go out and learn values from hard work to patience,” she said.
Ricky hopes to grow the business in the future, something he and Charlie can do together into adulthood.
You can find Ricky and Charlie’s Popcorn on Facebook or at farmers markets and shops in Logan County.
