754 March 20, 2022 Boykin Pecan Farm

This morning I was able to walk a portion of the Salado Creek Trail. This multiuse greenway was adjacent to the RV park.

Welcome Spring!!

This would have been a nice place to ride our bikes but we had plans to move on again today.

We drove from San Antonio south to a small town called Falfurrias. Here there was a Harvest Host site, the Boykin Pecan Farm. Larry is the host/farmer/cowboy/owner in charge of this beautifully kept farm. He met us with a warm Texas welcome and told us to make ourselves at home. He invited us to come to the house once we were settled. We met Larry’s wife Sophie and we enjoyed chatting around their kitchen table and getting to know more about their family and their farm. These were such kind and authentic, hardworking people. We left with a 5 pound bag of pecans and a dozen fesh eggs…so fresh that Tim went out and helped to gather them from the chicken coop.

We spent the remainder of the evening parked in the orchard among the pecan trees. It was peaceful and lovely.
