Local Popper



Angie's Kettle Corn out of North Mankato, Minnesota has to be one of the best products at your local grocery store. Now we can all enjoy the flavors of kettle corn without going to an outdoor festival!



Angie's uses no preservatives, trans fats, or cholesterol in the product. The result is a perfect balance of salt and sweet.

According to the Star Tribune, Angie and Dan Bastian started selling Kettle Corn at fairs in 2001. They live near the Minnesota Vikings training camp in Mankato Minnesota, and started giving it away to team members. The kettle corn was a hit, and they became a corporate team sponsor.

Eventually, they found their way in to the Byerly's Grocery Store chain, and now they can be found on the shelves of 50 twin cities metro area and Mankato area stores. Supermarket sales account for 80 percent of their revenue.

What a fantastic local product! My bag was on sale for $3.99. When I opened it the popcorn was perfectly crunchy as if it had been made at the fair this morning! Not only does Angie's Kettle Corn taste great, it is a healthier snack choice!
