  A visitor writes on March 28, 2011: "My 4-year-old daughter and I went strawberry picking at Froberg's this weekend. It was our first time there. I was apprehensive when we arrived, because the parking lot was packed and I could see that there were a lot of people out in the field picking strawberries. I was worried that it might be picked over, especially because we were there on a Sunday so I figured Saturday had been busy too. It turned out to be awesome though. We ended up going out in the part of the field that was furthest away from the store, and I don't think anyone had been there all season. The plants were completely covered with red, ripe, beautiful strawberries. I highly recommend Froberg's, and will definitely be back!"
  Comments from a visitor, March 26, 2008: "(besides the pyo strawberries), They do have a full vegetable stand and a sausage/meat mini-stand next door. They have good celery and greens in season, wonderful tomatoes, and okra. Most of the rest of their produce is shipped to them, including dried beans, live plants, and dried fruit and nuts. They also have canned goods of all descriptions, plus gallons of local honey in glass jars (they were $22 last year).
