Listening to talk radio can be instructive. On one show, here local, I heard about Froberg's Farm. They have a facebook page, they have both the pick your own and a fruit/veggie store, and there is also a small store that sells smokehouse meats.
It was easy to find, even if it is off the main highways. It was about 40-45 minutes from our house up here in NW Houston.
When we got there, we went right to Greak's, and got some sliced beef sandwiches, potato salad and some water. It had been a long trip. The potato salad was excellent, the sandwiches were tasty, but the meat was a bit tough and fatty. I'd try it again...we were there late in the afternoon, and I think they'd been busy.
I'd been hoping for some ripe tomatoes. It's a bit early, but hope springs eternal...and I've been hankering. My tomato plants had been trashed this winter, so I don't have my usual early spring tomatoes. I want tomatoes, and not the ones in the store. Froberg's didn't have them either, dang it.. just some from Florida. They'd had blackberries from local sources, but they were sold out. There were some vegetables, mostly onions, cucumbers, etc. I bought some and am happy with their quality.
I did ask about the tomatoes.. it's going to be a couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to June.
I think we'll be going back.
