Brownsville has always been kind of lacking a specialty grocery store. Sure, there's the HEB Plus,…read morebut it's nice to find alternatives. This was an excellent find! It felt like a cross between a specialty grocery store, farmers market, and spirituality center. From loteria wallets and purses, to jack fruit, to purple carrots, manuka honey (for half the price of HEB!), and to bundles of sage and essential oils for your curanderismo practices, Valley Star Fruits & More is an eclectic, friendly place where you can find almost any special or quirky ingredient you might need. One thing I was excited to find that I still have not been able to locate in San Antonio is black salt. I was ecstatic to finally see it, though I skipped out on purchasing it this time around. Next visit, I might grab some, or have my mom send my sister back with some on her next trip down. Either way, they earned some new fans this weekend!

I am a huge fan of TX red grapefruit and can't find it locally (reliably) where I live. So, despite…read moreterrible online reviews, I ordered from Crockett Farms. Their farm story (started in 1930s, which is when TX citrus really has its roots) told me they have the goods. I ordered Feb. 12 for a March shipment. My credit card was charged March 3. That told me the fruit was or would soon be harvested. The fruit arrived March 17. The box contained 26 humongous grapefruit. The fruit is juicy, sweet, and delicious--classic Texas reds. I did not have need to contact the company, so cannot address customer service. The fruit itself is delicious and worth the money (since I can't get TX reds locally). The two pieces of advice I have for anyone wanting to order is this: 1) Read and review the shipping info thoroughly (I read it over a few times before ordering). It's not difficult, but it's not like ordering other online items. It's delayed fulfillment--you have to order well before you want the product. 2) Create an account for yourself on the farms website PRIOR to ordering. Then place your order using that account. That way, you can track the order status and shipment. I created my account after ordering, and that order didn't show up. It's apparently a factor with their ordering software. The other thing I'd add is to remember that this is an agricultural product. It's farming. Stuff happens in farming (weather issues can wipe out or diminish crops), and U.S. citrus (including TX) is under attack from numerous pest threats that are global in scope. All of that can affect order fulfillment. Hope this helps. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Crockett Farms. I have no relationship to the farm or any worker there. I live in Pennsylvania. I just love TX red grapefruit!!

Terrible experience. Ordered a box of Texas Sweet oranges (~$100) and all the oranges were sour as…read morecompared to the same type of oranges bought at the local HEB. I asked for a refund and to return the order to them, but they claimed they could not accept it as the oranges were perishable products. I guess it's ok for them to ship perishable products, but refuse to take them back, sad, sad... They were also very slow in responding - almost 3 weeks to resolve this simple problem. I also volunteered to take half of the loss, but they also refused it. The lady named Samanta handling this issue stated that "taste is subjective and varies greatly from person to person, we are unable to guarantee individual flavor expectations once the product has been delivered". Blah, blah...a sour orange is sour and it's not subjective. She also suggested that I should give away the sour oranges to neighbors and friends!!! Why do I need to make them into enemies by giving them sour oranges???? First and last time doing business with Crookett Farms....

I buy watermelons more on the round side as opposed to oblong, I look for no green but brown where the stem was, I look for a lot of those brown "scratchy areas" (I don't know what they're called), I look for a deep yellow or amber color where it was sitting on the ground and try to find some that has this hard black stuff coming out of it which is actually sugary liquid that is dried up. If I can find a watermelon with all, if not most of these that I am more likely to get a really good watermelon. There's nothing better than a cold sweet watermelon!
