Nestled in the heart of South Texas, Poteet has proudly earned its title as the Strawberry Capital of Texas. Just a short drive from San Antonio, this small farming town grew from humble roots — beginning with Henry and Ida Mumme’s backyard strawberry patch — into one of Texas’ most beloved agricultural success stories.
In 1948, the Poteet Rotary Club hosted the very first Poteet Strawberry Festival, launching a tradition that now welcomes thousands of visitors each spring. Today, the festival remains a cherished family-friendly South Texas event, celebrating our local growers, community pride, and the sweet strawberries that made Poteet famous.
