We have containers for you to pick into, or you are welcome to bring your favorite from home. As always, bring the whole family---kids are always welcome at our orchard and berry farm! We plan to open our Market this weekend! Looking forward to seeing you! June 11, 2010 We just returned from a quick trip to Michigan to pick up some equipment for our next strawberry patch. What a beautiful state with orchards and berry patches everywhere! We visited some orchards and spoke with some friendly folks and enjoyed our visit. It is always great to get home and while up there most of the fruit is not yet ripe, here we have berries galore! The Blackberries are now ripening and the Blueberries are going full force. The picking should be easy, at least for the early risers! We open at 7 am. The Cherries are still plentiful and delicious. The strawberries are nearing the end of their season but if you look you can still find some good ones! The gooseberries are starting to ripen, and while we don't have many, the early pickers might even find a few raspberries.

May 28, 2010 There are lots of cherries ripe now and the strawberries are holding on,too. We've seen a few ripe blueberries so the rest should ripen soon!

I'll also be at the Washington Farmer's Market with pre-picked cherries Saturday morning. Hope to see you soon! May 24, 2010 Amazing what a couple of sunny days will do in an orchard. Otto just reported that the cherries are ripe! We still have ripe strawberries, too, so this is a good time to come pick! We will definately be open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 7 am -noon. There is the potential to add picking days so check back. The price for the cherries and the strawberries is $1.99 per pound. There will be lots of cherries that you can reach from the ground. If you choose to use an orchard ladder to reach cherries, please know that you do so at your own risk. As always, kids are welcome in our cherry orchard and strawberry patch. The blueberries often overlap with the cherries so they probably will be ready soon. When I checked them on Saturday I didn't see any ripe ones but with these sunny days it won't take long! Check back for updates! Looking forward to seeing you soon! May 22, 2010 So great to see so many of our strawberry picking friends, familiar and new! We had a great turn out and the patch was picked clean by the time we closed. We'll let the sunshine do some ripening and be ready to open again on Tuesday morning at 7 am. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays 7 am -noon $1.99 per pound containers provided, or bring your favorite. See you soon! May 21, 2010 We see the sun--amazing! We have delicious strawberries waiting in the patch for you. We'll be open Friday from 7-2:30, and again Saturday from 7-noon. Our regular picking days are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, from 7-noon. I know we'll be open those days but we may be open additional days as well as we try to follow the dry weather and get these berries picked. I'll keep this page updated. As always, we have containers for you to pick into or you can bring your favorite bucket/bowl from home. Kids are always welcome at Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm. The strawberries are $1.99/lb. Hope to see you soon. May 20, 2010 More rain! Once it stops raining, and surely it will stop raining, we will have the patch open as much as we can to get the berries picked. At this point I know we'll be open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, from 7 am- noon, but we will probably be open more mornings as well. Once the plan (determined by the weather so I can't decide yet) is in place I'll post it right here. Until then, if it is dry give us a call or just come on over. May 13, 2010 Rain, rain, what can we say? While we needed rain, it's hard on berry picking schedules! Thanks to those who have dogded the drops and picked berries! We'll stay open late today (Thursday) to try to catch some dry periods, and we will plan to be open all day on Friday. If it seems like the weather is clear, head on out...the berries are great! We'll plan to be open Saturday 7 am -noon as well. See you soon. May 12, 2010 The strawberries are ripening nicely---they are a nice size and taste great! It doesn't take long to pick a quart! The weather forecast for Thursday 5/13/10 isn't good. We'll plan to be open in the morning as scheduled but if it turns out that it is too stormy for picking in the morning, we will stay open later in the day. I will update this page or you can call at 636-433-2299. May 11, 2010 Strawberries!!!! Here we go, folks! Enough strawberries are ready that we need to pick them before it rains again! I was thinking towards opening on Thursday morning, but the forecast has us worried. So....we will be open today, Tuesday May 11 from noon until 7:00 this evening. After that our picking days will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings from 7 until noon. We have containers for you to pick into, or you are welcome to bring your own favorite bowl or box! As always, children are welcome at our berry patch. We encourage you to bring them along and make this a family activity. The strawberries are $1.99 per pound when you pick your own. If you are on Facebook, consider becoming a fan of Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm so any updates on picking and ripening details will come straight to your facebook page! We look forward to seeing you! May 6, 2010 Wow! Spring is here--today at least! It sure felt like summer yesterday as we finished planting a new blueberry patch! Yes, we did indeed plant another acre in blueberries! They are slow to grow so it will probably be 3 years before this patch is producing berries but they are in the ground and ready to grow! My 7 year old reports that there are a few pink strawberries in the patch. I see lots of blooms and green berries so I know there will be a great crop---they're just not quite ready yet! My best guess is that we'll have strawberries in a week and a half, depending on the weather. (possibly by May 15????) This is the first year for these strawberry varieties so I don't have a reference point for when to expect them to ripen. Please check back for ripening details plus picking dates and times. The blackberries are blooming, and the blueberries have bloomed and set their fruit. It looks like a great crop for all the berries, peaches and apples. We're looking forward to seeing you soon! April 12, 2010 Otto has been working for a couple of years to prepare the soil for an additional blueberry patch. (Blueberries are very particular about the ph level in the soil.)The soil test came back that we were finally in the desired range so....Otto ordered about 1600 blueberry plants that we will plant later this month! It takes a couple of seasons for them to bear a crop but it is exciting to know that there are more blueberries in the future! Otto has finished (I think) thinning the peaches. The peach trees are starting to leaf out and the apples and cherries are blooming like crazy. It really is beautiful! Hope you're enjoying spring wherever you are! April 6, 2010 It is spring here at Thierbach Orchards! The peaches and cherries are blooming, the blueberries look like they are getting ready to bloom and the strawberries and blackberries are leafing out well! We're busy getting things ready! Otto has planted grass for a parking area closer to the new strawberry patch. I just finished mowing the paths in the blueberry patch. Otto is getting ready to run his rope thinner through the peach trees. We try to remove some of the blossoms so the tree doesn't get overwhelmed with too much weight. The rope thinner makes the hand thinning we do in May easier. We planted a new strawberry patch last summer and it will have fruit this year. We're not sure when to expect the berries to ripen since we planted new varieties. The old patch opened as early as May 10 and as late as May 27, depending on the weather. I'll keep the website posted with ripening details. We're looking forward to another year of fresh fruit and family fun. Can't wait to see you! I am aware that not all of the emails you've sent through the website are reaching me. I appologize for this. I've contacted our website host and they are helping me figure out the problem. I hope to have this resolved soon. When I actually get an email, I try to respond in a timely manner. If you don't hear from me, I probably didn't get it. If you have questions that aren't covered on the website, please call 636-433-2299 and leave a message. I'll make every effort to answer your question. Technology is great when it works...being saavy enough to figure out new email systems helps as well! Have a great day. Here is our basic schedule. We never know for sure when things will ripen but this will give you a general idea. The berries and cherries are exclusively pick your own.
