Nicola is Pop’s Famous Guac
A Flavorful Journey from Education to Gourmet Guac
Meet Nicola Poplin, the passionate soul behind Pop's Famous Guac, whose journey from educator to guacamole artisan is as rich and flavorful as her famous creations.
A former educator and principal, Nicola's life took an unexpected turn when she had to resign from her job due to back-to-back concussions. However, challenges often pave the way for new opportunities, and for Nicola, that opportunity was rooted in her lifelong love for cooking.
Growing up, Nicola always found solace and joy in the kitchen, cooking alongside her mother. It was there that she learned the art of seasoning and bringing exquisite flavors to every meal. What started as a hobby soon became a calling.
Nicola's guacamole-making journey took a decisive turn during a gathering with her girlfriends. One of them was caught red-handed behind the kitchen counter, using her fingers to savor the last bits of Nicola's homemade guac. In that playful moment, Nicola realized her true calling – to share her exceptional guacamole with the world.
Pop's Famous Guac is more than a business; it's a family affair. From production to retail, Nicola is surrounded by the unwavering support and love of her family. They were her first customers and remain her biggest supporters to this day.
Nicola's vision goes beyond just delivering delicious guacamole. She aspires to bring the warmth of preservative-free, wholesome food to your family's dinner table, offering a unique experience of table-side guac at your dinner table. Her commitment extends to giving back to underserved communities by donating her guacamole.
In her personal life, Nicola is a devoted mother to her son, Hilton, and her furry companion, Ranger. A lover of life, she finds joy in traveling, laughing, singing, dancing, and fully embracing every moment. Nicola's commitment to a healthier lifestyle is evident not only in her guacamole but also in her dedication to practices like circuit training, yoga, meditation, and mindfulness.
Nicola Poplin is not just a guacamole enthusiast; she's a testament to the transformative power of passion, resilience, and the pursuit of a life well-lived. Through Pop's Famous Guac, Nicola invites you to savor the goodness, share the love, and make every meal a memorable experience with table-side guac at your dinner table.
