Okay gang. I’ve got a good one for you today. Angelic Gardens in Minot is a true hidden gem. Recently I’ve talked to a handful of friends who have lived in Minot their whole lives and never heard of Angelic Gardens. Others have heard of it–but most have never been.
And I can’t figure out why!
It’s a bit hidden, but it shouldn’t be. I think everyone should know and go. So let’s blow its cover a bit.
What is Angelic Gardens?
Angelic Gardens is an U-pick garden right here in town. But to call it simply a U-pick place seems lacking. The garden (which is expansive) is organic, hand-weeded, and meticulously cared for. Most U-pick places that I’m familiar with offer one type of produce. Angelic Gardens in Minot is different, in that they offer a wide scope of fruits and vegetables throughout the summer and fall. (Seriously, everything from berries and herbs to corn and heirloom onions.)
Inside the small shop is a map of the garden, sign with what’s available to pick and another small sign with the entire growing season’s crops and when they’ll be available.
Inside staff will tell you what to pick and where. Then you can grab a basket and get to it. The staff is so kind and sweet, I’d venture they’d even help you pick if you need it.
Also inside you can pick up pre-picked items, baked goods, gourds, and jellies made from their own produce.
Our Day At Angelic Gardens in Minot
Last week I went to Angelic Gardens for the first time with a friend. We both brought our littles and had a great time wandering the gardens. I picked zucchini and beets. (See what I’m making with them on Instagram this week!)
At the end of our garden tour we sampled a few choke cherries and sand cherries (I’ll be back this week to pick up some of those to make my own batch of jelly.) Then we headed in to pay.
In my opinion, prices are low for organic produce. (At least on par with grocery store and farmers’ market prices.) Some items were priced by the piece, but most are priced per pound. Buy only as much or as little as you need.
All in all, I spent less than $5 on what I needed and we had a fabulous outing. And Gideon loved seeing where the fruit and vegetables grow (especially pulling up the beets.)
