Spring has sprung, Houston! Whether you’re simply sauntering around the city, going for a picnic in the park, or passing an afternoon at the farmer’s market, it’s now the time to do so. It’s also the time to load up on local produce. Pick your own strawberries, blackberries, and more at this strawberry farm just outside of Houston.
Throughout the year, Froberg’s Farm welcomes visitors for fruit-picking experiences, offering opportunities to harvest blackberries and strawberries, as well as vegetable produce ranging from turnips, cabbage, and collards.
However, it is the strawberries that truly steal the spotlight. While the strawberry festival has already passed, the farm is still open for strawberry picking available on Saturdays and Sundays until late May. Aspiring fruit collectors first purchase a bucket ($2), after the harvest, strawberries are weighed and sold by the pound ($5).
