Apple Season is Wrapping Up

11/6/24

Visit our markets as we wrap up a fun apple season! The last day the markets will be open for this season is Friday 11/8. It's the perfect time to stock up on jams and salsas plus any Rada knives you need for holiday presents. Hope to see you at the market and apple orchard!


Come to our market 4 miles north of Marthasville on Hwy 47.

Purchase field and fun access- $5/person over age two for unlimited time in our mazes other activities plus the wagon ride to the apple orchard!

10/26-10/27 Apples for picking:
Winesap, Fuji, Blushing Gold, Mutsu, Keystone Gold, Arkansas Black, and Gold Rush.


Meanwhile, at the other farm - the beautiful flower fields are finished for the season. I hope you had a chance to experience them. It was a new project for us this year and we really enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who came to pick flowers or purchased our bouquets!

The blackberry season has come to an end. That's a wrap on our berry picking for the year.

The flowers have ended for the year but here’s how it worked during the summer.

New this year - you can pick your own flowers! Right now we have lots Zinnias ready for you to pick. We also have an amazing field of sunflowers and a lot of smaller flowers like cosmos and gomphrena. They are $1.00/stem for zinnias and $3/stem for sunflowers - or you can bring your own quart jar and fill it for $15.00. (or fill our quart jar for $20)

How does the flower picking work? Just come to the berry patch and you'll see the field of flowers. You can bring your own quart jar or you can buy one from us. Then you get to pick from our field of zinnias and sunflowers plus other flowers that are blooming. It's been really fun to see families out picking! The bouquets people are creating are beautiful!


The cherries and blueberries are finished for the season. I'm glad so many of you saw that they ripened early and came to pick when they were plentiful and delicious! The peach crop didn't survive the cold weather so our next peach picking will be in 2025.


We have containers for you to pick into and take home, or you are welcome to bring your own!

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!




We will be open for pick-your-own flowers EVERY MORNING from 8am-1pm at our farm off of Town Branch Road in Marthasville. We're excited to see everyone again!

Please be aware that google might send you to our other location. You want to go to the berry patch location that is off of Town Branch Rd. From Hwy 47 turn onto Town Branch Rd, then turn left at the second driveway.

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.
