Epicurean Adventures
I'm motivated by many women who inspire me beginning with my mom, Mary Lou. Her intelligence, love, and nurturing belief is what has always given me the strength to do anything. With my dad, they modeled volunteerism as a necessary part of being a valuable contributor to the community. To my mom, my co-founder, Deanna, and the many women who show me every day what it looks like to rise up and be strong, thank you. It's not always pretty, but it is always something to celebrate.

Team Cowgirl
Amy Kirkpatrick, Co-founder
Amy grew up in Iowa, graduated from the University of Kansas Journalism School and spent years in media sales before acting on her long-time dream of working with food. She took hiatus from her everyday life and went to an intensive pastry arts program at what is now the Escoffier Culinary School in Boulder, Colorado. With co-founder, Deanna, they started Too Haute Cowgirls in the mountains of Colorado in late 2009. Fellow unrepentant popcorn addicts, the duo set out to create a selection of unique, sweet popcorn flavors. Mission accomplished! In her free time, she loves spending time with her husband biking, their golden retriever hiking, cooking, and is teaching herself how to draw.
In Memoriam: Deanna Liebl – Co-founder
Deanna was a single-minded artist who was only motivated by creating beauty whether it be in interior design or culinary arts. Prior to THCG, she had many creative businesses, including Signature Wedding Cakes in Aspen, Colorado, where she constructed edible masterpieces. “Actually, I don’t like sweets, and I never really have...” ~Deanna. For someone who didn’t like sweets, she was a master pastry chef who delighted palates around the world. Rest In Peace Deanna
Meet the Cowgirls
As legend goes, frustrated by the lack of opportunities for young women in Boston at the beginning of the 20th century, our girls chucked their corsets and headed out West to become cowgirls and to live lives full of excitement and adventure. It was during their expedition to the West that these ladies encountered some of the country’s most famous (and sometimes infamous) and exciting culinary innovators of the early 1900's.
From their first lesson in popping corn from the Indians, to their tour through Milton Hershey's brand new, state-of-the-art chocolate factory in Pennsylvania, our Cowgirls poured everything they learned during their travels into their delectable popcorn creations.
With this inspiration, Too Haute Cowgirls was born. While the stories are imagined, the gourmet popcorn creations are very real! The name highlights the juxtaposition of our rugged and unstoppable cowgirl attitude with the haute ingredients that make our popcorn so delicious. Follow the Too Haute Cowgirls on their epicurean adventures through the Wild West in search of chocolate, spicy, and sweet popcorn perfection.
