A multi-generation, multi-site fruit operation west of St. Louis where u-pick apples are a weekends-only slice of a much longer strawberry-through-blackberry season — pricing and varieties aren't posted, so check the site's 'What's Ripe' page or call before driving out.
Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm’s apple orchard sits at 18427 State Highway 47 in Marthasville, Warren County, in Missouri’s St. Louis Wine Country region. Per the orchard’s own site, read September 3, 2026, apple picking here runs weekends only from September 1 through October 31, 2026, with hours of 9am to 6pm. The record confirms both u-pick and pre-picked apples are available, so if you’d rather buy already-harvested fruit than spend an afternoon picking, that option exists here.
Beyond the apple address, the source material behind this record notes that Thierbach actually operates across three sites: a separate berry and peach location at 15885 Orchard Lane, the Highway 47 apple orchard used for this listing, and a market in nearby Washington, Missouri. That’s a meaningfully larger operation than most single-location orchards in this research, and it’s worth knowing that “Thierbach” as a name covers more ground than just apples.
What stands out most in this record is the shape of the season. Apple picking specifically is confined to weekends across September and October, but the broader Thierbach operation reportedly runs a much longer May-through-fall season across strawberries, cherries, peaches, and blackberries at its other sites. If you’re planning around apples alone, that weekends-only detail matters — a Tuesday drive out expecting to pick apples would likely come up empty, even though the farm as a whole might be open and selling fruit that day.
This kind of layered, multi-fruit season is common at working family farms that don’t want a single crop’s brief window to define their whole operating calendar, but it does mean the practical planning burden falls on the visitor to match the right fruit to the right weekend.
No apple varieties are named in the record, and no pricing information — per-bag, per-pound, or flat rate — is listed either. The record notes that the orchard’s site has a “What’s Ripe” page intended to show current picking status, but that specific page wasn’t reached during this research, so its contents aren’t reflected here. If a specific variety or a firm price matters to your trip, that page (or a direct call) is the logical next step, since neither detail could be confirmed from what was actually checked.
One small footnote worth flagging honestly: the site’s footer displays a 2026 copyright year, but that’s a routine template artifact rather than a genuine season announcement, so it wasn’t used anywhere in this record as evidence of a confirmed 2026 date.
Unlike several other orchards in this research, no phone number for Thierbach Orchards was found in the source material. That makes the website — and specifically its “What’s Ripe” page — the most direct way to check current conditions before a visit, since there’s no listed number here to call instead.
Thierbach Orchards & Berry Farm looks like a genuine, long-running multi-site fruit operation in Missouri’s wine country, with apple picking available on weekends through September and October alongside pre-picked options. The two things to nail down before you go are the specific varieties on offer and the current price, since neither is posted anywhere in the record — and the weekends-only apple schedule is worth double-checking against the farm’s “What’s Ripe” page if you’re driving any real distance for this one.
The record's apple window is weekends only, September 1 through October 31, 2026, 9am-6pm — narrower than the farm's broader spring-through-fall season for other fruit.
