Froberg’s Farm

Frobergs locally owned and operated providing local jobs to the Alvin community and providing the best quality produce around. From the best strawberries to all the other vegetables hey harvest locally. Supporting small businesses in the local community help enhance our community.

Visited Froberg’s for the first time for strawberry picking after reading all the reviews. We came around 12 and noticed that one section of the farm was closed off. We went to the other section which was open, the strawberries this side were small, semi ripe since most of them were already been picked on the Saturday before. As soon as we were done and got ready to get the billing done, we noticed the other section had been thrown open. Went to take a peek and the strawberries there were much big and ripe. How I wish it were open earlier. Nevertheless, the strawberries we picked were unbelievably sweet. We also picked up some pies to taste as it was almost lunchtime, and oh my gosh, they are out of the world! I picked up some leafy vegetables, more pies, popcorn, Chilli peanuts, sausage from next door, will skip the peanuts next time. Although, I would make a trip just for the pies. I also wish they would make proper restrooms though instead of the Porta potty. All in all, it still was a fantastic outing and I’ll still be back.

Best place around to get your veggies — and the homemade pies are not bad either. Family run farm with activities for the kids as well. Don’t miss the strawberry picking seasons.

My kids love coming here but they have to do something about the parking lot during peak hours. Sitting in one spot for 25 minutes is crazy.
Tip: during event weekends, try to come as soon as they open or late in the evenings.

BRING CASH. If you want to do any of the activities, especially in the fall, it all requires tokens (which you can buy for cash) or cash. They currently appear to have a mini-​carnival for the kids, a hay ride, a corn maize (get it?), and a pumpkin patch, which is free, buy generally crowded. We didn’t bring cash, so the niece missed out on playing at the mini-​carnival. There were no pick-​your-​own anything at the time we went, and none of the produce being sold in the store was marked as local-​grown. If you don’t care about the activities, using your card is available inside the store. The produce pricing seemed about average however so far, my impression is that the quality was above average. I bought honey (made in Santa Fe, TX), gummy bananas, caramel popcorn, dried pineapple, a fried apricot pie, two potatoes, and two cucumbers. I haven’t tried the pineapple or potatoes, but everything else has been good. They also have a shack to the right of the store that sells meats and cheeses. I purchased venison sausage, cheddar cheese, a tray of homemade summer sausage, a bag of beef jerky, and a bag of sausage snack sticks. I got everything for about $ 40. I am not sure if it was a bargain or not, but it felt like it, since I enjoyed everything I’ve eaten so far! You can also buy sandwiches/​snacks to eat while you are there. I plan to go back sometime when there are things available to pick my own!

Great place for city folks to go out and pick their own strawberries. I was raised in the country so it is no big deal to me and I stayed in the store. Their fried pies are wonderful. No artificial stuff here, folks. Great coconut and real strawberries grown on site and delicious. I bought a dozen of them. Best fried pies I have ever eaten and I recommend going there just for them. Nice local folk that run the place.

Love this market!!! We do the strawberry picking every year. They sale the bucket to use when u are there. We bought it and bring it back in the future to use. They charge per pound. Easy weekend activity for the kids.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! My family and I went strawberry picking back in 2012 and it was great! The strawberries were fresh and sweet. It was a great experience especially coming home with a bucket of yummy strawberries.
Another great thing about this place is that they also sell fresh products that they grow. I really love the sunflower seeds, dried bananas, and their giant watermelons! :)

I love coming by this place when I can. It’s a little out of way, but the picturesque view driving down HWY 6 makes it a nice trip. There is a variation of things they sell in Froberg’s besides strawberries; they have hand made fried pies with many different flavours (cherry, coconut, mango, pecan, guess what??? Strawberry… and they’re all delish by the way) as well as full, ready to eat pies.
I love going through their seasonal vegetables. Collard greens, lettuce, green onions, bell peppers, onions, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, zucchinis, yellow squash… sounds like your regular Walmart grocery until you hit the boxes of cushaws, sweet peppers, hull peas, etc. Most of which are sold by the pound and the prices are not bad.
They have a nice selection of beans from lima, to northern, black eyes, and lentils as well.
Froberg’s has a little bunch of dried fruits/​veggies… This owes to the 4-​star rating. Some of these chips are already stale. I’ve wasted some bucks buying banana chips and beets – which could’ve gone to waste, but I tried to just grind them at home to use as a pie crust, if I’m not closing my eyes hard and trying to gnaw them down instead. I’ve tried re-​baking them but it doesn’t work as well as fresh ones, maybe… *sigh*.
Anyway! Greaks, a family owned smoked meat shop, resides to one corner of Froberg’s. I love this little place! They have the best boudain sausages ever, along with other kinds. Greaks sells cheese as well; pepperjack, colby jack, feta, and flavoured/​non-​flavoured goat cheese. They’re not shy about samples.
Overall, Froberg’s is a must-​see destination if you’re around the area. It’s infamous for strawberry picking, although it is NOT all year-​round. They keep their website up to date on when they have strawberry picking available. Right now, due to all the rain, they’ve ended strawberry picking and only have flower picking.
Oh, and another thing… Don’t like the fact that their only bathrooms are porta potties… eugh, something about porta potties that just don’t sit right with me (that’s a pun…) but I went in one and there’s a sticker about how much water we actually save from using them. At least I’m sorta, kinda… doing the Earth some good?

Yes! Berry picking!
A great way to get outside of the city; I would recommend this for families but even groups of friends. The strawberries here aren’t too pricey — a bucket filled to the brim is around $ 12! The field of strawberries is massive and its super fun to be able to pick your own and then enjoy later! Everyone who works here is friendly and its just a very easy-​to-​do experience.

froberg’s farm is exactly what you would imagine it to be if you ever envisioned what a berry picking site looked like. attached to a market for organic produce, there is a farm filled with rows and rows of bushes, all brimming with fresh, plump strawberries. the staff didn’t seem too enthusiastic about a bunch of college students visiting to pick berries, but that didn’t take much from the experience when we all skipped off into the fields with our buckets to be filled with fruit.
what’s interesting though is that you have to buy the buckets for berry picking that you can take home with you, but there is also an additional cost if you want to keep the berries you fill those buckets with. in my mind, there should just be a flat rate for both the bucket and strawberries by weight. however, i guess having the option to leave without berries can be a kind courteous in and of itself? whatever, doesn’t matter because overall the price was reasonable with 15 people paying around $ 3 – 4 for 15lbs of strawberries (3 buckets) and the fun memories to go with them. we ended up with more than enough strawberries than we could eat and they were all juicy and flavorful!

What fun! Buy a bucket for a buck*, and then spend the next hour or so picking fresh strawberries along row after row of fields. Obviously, it’s especially good if you have a toddler who likes this kind of thing. Ours does; he snatched the berries off the bush with a satisfied «grab!» and by the end had learned to leave the green ones alone.
No, the strawberries aren’t actually all that tasty. But that’ s not why you’re here, is it?
* the strawberries were $ 2.25 a pound.

This was a fun place to visit with the kiddos. If you can keep a couple of toddlers busy here, then it’s a good place for me too. I’m sure there are times of the year when the strawberries aren’t as sweet as others but this seems to be an ideal time to be there without sweating profusely or getting bad strawberries. I’d strongly advise going in the morning as I’ve heard that it can get super busy. Also, I’ve noticed their website provides updates on how the strawberries are doing. Sometimes they close due to weather etc.

Overrated. Went there to experience the «farmer’s market» of Pearland. You can find better prices in HEB. If you’re trying to teach your children about the farms and picking your own strawberries, then take them here. And what’s with those annoying speed bumps? Won’t go back.

Me, my son, and my boyfriend made our way down Highway 6 in search of this magical place I’d been hearing so much about. In my 13 years as a parent I had never heard a peep about it but all of a sudden in the past month or so, non stop chatter
Although it was very crowded, the staff was very well trained and equipped for the crowd. We walked in and followed the easy self guided instructions on what we needed to do.
Please have cash available as this is the only option to purchase your buckets, we didn’t know this and I ended up scraping change up from my purse to get our $ 1 bucket.
We were herded to the outside area and given very brief instructions on where we were authorized to pick from.
There were many props and photo opportunities outside and they weren’t being greedy by charging for them so bring your camera!
We had so much fun and for my son to be so much older than the average child out there, he still talks about it to this day.
We will definitely be going back soon!

Thanks to my sister that invited me to come out to the strawberry farm, I now find that this is the best way to pick your strawberries and have them last up to three weeks.
A wonderful way to bond with family and friends. You get to pick your own strawberries for about the same price you would pay for in a grocery store except you get a bucket to fill up. Once your done you’ll make your way to the old fashioned market.
So much to look at and taste. The fruit and veggies here are fresh and taste fresh as well. I got some huge oranges that were sweet. Since I had been looking for honey I decided to try their natural honey and it is so different from what you get at the grocery store.
They have bags of almonds, popcorn, dried fruit and beans. You will not be disappointed at all. I purchased some beet chips that were a great healthy snack nut not so much on the amazing small pies made on the spot. You will know what I’m speaking of when you make your way to this huge strawberry farm.
The checkout lanes were busy but got you right out to a picnic area with tables. They have a tiny market where you can get sausage, pork and other snacks to eat there.
They have sinks to wash your hands and portable restrooms. So here are my tips when visiting.
Wear sunscreen … it gets hot out there.
Wear tennis shoes vs. Sandals. it’s windy and sand gets blown everywhere.
Wear sunglasses, pretty sunny out there
Bring a good camera. great way to take family pics
Option to bring the previous bucket you used so you don’t have to purchase another one.
Bring cash, some items to purchase are cash only.

What a fun afternoon! Farmer’s market, smokehouse tastes and picking some strawberries! Be aware schools and camps like to bring kids here to pick. We were fortunate and beat several busloads of kids who were all anxious to get some strawberries in their buckets.
The farmer’s market part of the Farm has your basic selection of farmer’s market foods. They also have hot individual pies! Grab a couple to enjoy under a big tree outside or on the way back from your strawberry pickin’! Bring a cooler and load up on stuffed pork chops from the smokehouse. Their sausage is ok… nothing special. But the pork chops rock.
Here’s a suggestion: You have date night with the spouse? Why not go strawberry picking together? Seriously. That’s what we did last week. Start your date earlier in the day and go pick a bucket of berries together. Then you have that fun experience AND the berries to share later!
The berries aren’t that much more expensive than the grocery store. And the experience of getting to pick them yourself and seeing how beautiful they are in the field is worth the extra few cents a pound. Just like any box of berries, some are sweeter than others but you can’t beat the freshness, right?
They do take credit cards and cash. We bought a LOT of veggies — tomatoes, fresh spinach, asparagus etc — and got out for about $ 12. And they do have bathrooms… just be aware they are port-​o-​pots.
The people there were more than friendly. The grounds are pretty. Take plenty of pics and save your bucket for your next pickin’ adventure.

A family must visit for the experience. I’ve taken my family now to the pumpkin patch and strawberry picking. Again, the experience for small kids is worth the negatives. Strawberries are mostly bland, but that seems to be a common opinion. I really enjoy the fresh market, smokehouse, and the people. The people that work there have always been really kind and helpful. I’ll continually go back, but keep your taste buds expectations low.

So I had a little staycation in H-​town around April and decided to do new things everyday to feel like I was on a new adventure.
It brought me to Froberg’s Farm to pick some fresh strawberries right off the vine. I hear that’s the only way to ensure a sweet strawberry. Back in the day (says my mother) fresh picked were so sweet; the ones in the stores don’t hold a candle.
I drove all the way to Alvin, bought a reusable bucket and picked to my heart’s content. Some of those berries looked old but a good amount were red and beautiful. I picked quite a few lbs, paid (not expensive at all) and left. Unfortunately after I got home, washed em… I was very disappointed. They were hardly sweet at all!
It was worth the experience of picking fresh strawberries off the vine but outside of an adventurous time, my tongue wasn’t impressed.
But again, go for the experience!

I love Frobergs and have been a customer for years. I went in to get fresh green beans and new potatoes to accompany the roast I was making for dinner.
Needless to say, I ended up buying the green beans and new potatoes I wanted, squash, lettuce, apples, cucumbers, onions, fresh eggs, cantelope, grape tomatoes, a large tomato, and I think I’m forgetting one other thing. But I walked out with 2 paper sacks full of fresh produce and only spent $ 24.00!
You just can’t get that kind of freshness from the grocery store (especially when all the produce goes bad in less than a week). I am willing to pay for produce that lasts, tastes fresh, and supports local farmers!
If you haven’t been, you MUST go! They have activities for kids (check their website) and are in a great location in Alvin country!

This place is so cute! A great activity for the family or a date. It’s absolutely lovely on a sunny day
We started off with trying the fried pies. $ 2 each. We got strawberry, strawberry cream, buttermilk pecan, and chocolate buttermilk pecan. All were yummy!
Then we went strawberry picking! It’s easy and fun! :) $ 1 for a reusable basket. $ 2/​lb. we filled up our basket and it was about 4.25lbs costing us about $ 8.50. The strawberries were ripe, red, and fresh! I used it to make strawberry smoothies when we got back home.
After we paid for our strawberries, we got a piña colada snow cone with cream at the little restaurant stand outside. We enjoyed our snow cone at one of their many picnic tables. We even saw a group that packed food for a picnic which is a great idea.
All in all a great outdoor activity!
