If you've ever wondered what an authentic Texas store looks like here it is. Froberg's Vegetable & Fruit Farm, established in 1936 is located on Hwy 6 on the outskirts of Alvin and Manvel. They grow everything here and have some of the best produce and Texas favorite foods around. This is their new building.
Bags of pecans.
Canned goods, jam, relish,pickels, and other Texas treats.
Inside the store with produce and veggies.
Homemade candy....this is a popular item too!
This is the new smoke house, with sausage, ribs, and various other meats.
Fred and Katie Froberg started the farm as a strawberry patch where you could pick your own strawberries. They then started growing other fruits and vegetables, and the word got out, and since then family members have been expanding ever since. The above photo is the original location, it was outdoors under the umbrella of these huge 100 year old oak trees.
They are packed on the weekends, so go during the week. I just happened to be doing a consultation not too far away and stopped by on off peak times. If you haven't been here it's one of those Texas spots worth stopping at. You can't see them from the Hwy, and you may miss their sign.
Take Hwy 6 towards Manvel. Turn Left on County Road 149. At stop sign (County Road 190) turn Right.
The address is:
11875 County Rd 190
Alvin, TX 77511

There is nothing better than fresh, locally grown food. I can't believe they will have strawberry picking so early. I'm jealous, we have to wait until June in New Hampshire.
