What's Ripe?
     
 
Pick Your Own Blueberries and Blackberries!

5/31/26

It's blueberry season! We have a lot of beautiful blueberries ripe and ready for you to pick! There are ripe berries throughout both patches! Come on out while the berries are plentiful!

I could hardly believe it when Otto told me that we had ripe blackberries on May 31! But it's true - a crop we weren't expecting to be ready until late in June is getting an early start! The blackberries are indeed ripe and ready for you to pick! These berries are in the new patch at the back of the farm. Wear your walking shoes - it's a bit of a trek to get there.

We're open every day 8-1 at our location off of Town Branch Rd in Marthasville.

The blueberry crop looks good this year! The blackberries are also looking good! The cherry crop looks to be very small this year, unfortunately.

The weather was precarious when the peaches and apples were blooming but it looks like we will have a crop on most of the varieties. Thank Goodness!

We're growing herbs this year! I'll keep you posted as this project progresses. We have fresh basil ready now! More herbs to come!

The flowers are growing so we should have a beautiful field of flowers for you to pick your own bouquets! They aren't ready yet - we need some sunshine to get them going!

We're looking forward to seeing everyone!

Please watch your children (or the kids at heart) and ask them to refrain from picking berries and throwing them. I know it's fun to throw things - It's just not appropriate to throw the fruit. I see it a lot and I ask you to help us eliminate this activity. Thank you!

Please be aware that google might send you to our other location. You want to go to location 4 miles north of Marthasville on Hwy 47 for apple picking and the market.






Markets

The markets are closed for the season. We will reopen when we have peaches ready in 2026. Usually some time in June.

A Word About Safety

Please Be Careful!
We strive to maintain a safe orchard environment. There are many fruits available that can be reached from the ground. If a piece of fruit is tempting you from the top of the tree, use the ladders at your own risk.

If you choose to use a ladder while picking fruit, Thierbach Orchards assumes no responsibility or liability for accidents. You must understand the inherent risks and dangers associated with using ladders in the orchard.

If you do choose to use this ladder, form a tripod between the pole and the ladder legs for stability. Do not climb to the highest rungs.
