Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm

Located near the scenic Katy Trail in Marthasville, just over an hour west of St. Louis, this family farm has become a beloved destination for fresh fruit and family fun. Known for their wide variety of fruits, they have been providing fresh produce to the community for many years, with a market that opens in late July when the peaches are ripe.

The farm emphasizes a hands-on approach to fruit harvesting, inviting visitors to pick their own fruits directly from the berry patch or orchard. This method not only ensures the freshest produce but also fosters a deeper connection between people and the land. Their practices highlight the importance of seasonal rhythms, with different fruits becoming available at various times from May through October.

In addition to fresh fruit, the farm's market offers a selection of vegetables, jams, salsas, and other local products. The berry patch opens in May for strawberry picking, while peach picking begins in July, and apple picking is available on weekends in September and October. Visitors can check the farm's website or Facebook page for exact picking dates and times.
