WHENEVER my wife and I head to West Texas, we make it a point to stop at Dutchman’s Market in Fredericksburg to stock up on the best beef, pork, and turkey jerky we’ve ever found. We also really enjoy the two kinds of dried sausage the market offers, one with garlic and the other without. The prices are reasonable and the workers are friendly. Give it a try, and you’ll be hooked, too.
