They have a great selection of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a variety of jams and jellies. During the month of October, you can choose from an assortment of pumpkins and gourds. Kids can enjoy Pumpkinland with activities such as a corn maze, swings and a straw-castle. Fall vegetables during November and Christmas trees in December. Stop in at Thies Farm for Fall fun and fresh produce!

Last visit we picked so many that we still have two jars of preserves in our freezer... great flavor on toast, waffles, pancakes. And the strawberries are the most flavorful we've enjoyed. If you arrive early enough, before they are all gone, you can get some that the Thies team picks. You can also pick your own strawberries. We also picked up some just-grown spinach, cucumbers, carrots and canned peaches. I also got Mom some flowers for Mother's Day. Thank you, Thies Farm! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Previous Review, 2021-07 / July Fantastic variety of top quality fruits, vegetables, more... great staff We have visited Theis Farm, in Maryland Heights, several times over the years, typically in the fall, for the pumpkin patch, more often when the kids were younger. This year we've visited four times so far... because Theis Farm is so much more than the pumpkin farm. Mother's Day flower pots, still looking great on Mom's porch! Lettuce, cucumbers and squash. Strawberries so good you'll be tempted to never buy another one at the store ever again... red throughout... so good... and then your wonderful wife and daughter make jars and jars and jars of strawberry jam and you get to enjoy for months to go. Blackberries... so good. Peaches... some picked early for July 4... still good... looking forward to the crop's arrival in a couple weeks. Pick-your-own green beans. And the sunflower patch... thousands of sunflowers... some just a lighter color of yellow; others a deeper combination of oranges and reds... and the bumblebees and butterflies and dragonflies. And pickles... and sweet corn relish... and peach relish... and Caesar's salad dressing and southern peach vinaigrette dressing... and honey and creamed honey... and lettuce. And a staff who are friendly and helpful and willing to educate you along the way. Thank you, Theis' Farm! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

There are a lot of farmers markets in the ST. Louis area, but this one is #1 on my list! Because…read moretheir produce is the best (the produce is almost all homegrown depending on the season that they are in) you can't find this good quality in your supermarkets anymore! And plus the staff are super friendly, kind and knowledgeable on their products! They will help no matter how busy they are on the weekends and weekdays (they are open 7 days week!!!!!) My favorite season is Summer because of all the local Produce that starts to come in, and The Summit All Season Market has all the local Produce you will need and want! For anything! My favorite right that I just got from them, is the Missouri black diamond watermelon! OMG talk abt a juicy n' sweet dessert! The best thing right now. I had a young man pick me out one the other day and let me tell you he knows his Melons!! The best watermelon I've had in Forever!

They also carry items such as homemade sourdough, floral arrangements, and popcorn for other local small businesses. The team is very helpful and friendly. They offer excellent recommendations. Please note: they are open almost year round. They offer a wide variety of seasonal fruits veggies and plants. Any time is a good time to pop in and say hello.

Review Title: 4 Easy steps to 52 Saturdays of CONTROLLED CHAOS!…read more The MUST-DO thing for all St. Louis'ians and Non-St. Louis'ians. But you gotta do it right! Step 1: Schedule a Saturday off to yourself (yes, the Market's open Wed-Sat, but you get 100% vendorship on Saturdays) Step 2: Set your alarm clock EARLY! The trick is the "when" do you get there? Wait til the later hours of the day.. and every shop will be empty that you went for! I've learned this too many times in my sleep-in days, to get there way too late to find so many of the shops sold out, or the "runts" of the sales left. So figure out Early and then getup before then! Step 3: Get in your car and go shopping!!! (Follow the map of course!) Plain and simple you want fresh produce.. this is where you go. Whether it's veggies,. meats, baked goods, coffee, soaps, sweets, snacks, and even alchy beverages if you so desire! (and you just might as the day goes on) Get there early and load up! (Just warning you, you may have to make a few runs between your shops and your car, considering what you -could- load up on. Now as stated by many, it's a smorgasboard of what you can find, all along the entire market. (but just a word of advice, whatever you buy at the market, please clean and store PROPERLY as soon as you get home, this is a farmer's market and you can lose some fresh produce REALLY QUICK!) And just remember you're going to have to fight your way through the crowds. because EVERYONE and their relative knows to come here. (Picture yourself in a demolition derby with everyone.. cause that's what it's going to feel llike... Controlled Chaos! **See I knew I'd fit the title in here somewhere*) I will admit you there are some vendors that sell the usual "touristy wares" on occasion, such as "gold jewelry", Sports uniforms (Battlehawks, Cardinals, Blues), you know the quick .. touristy stuff. But the real value is the food and the food 'trucks', including BBQ , New Orleans style cuisine, mediterranean.. you know everything you can find at a farmer's market :) STEP 4: And to top off the day. a real daiquiri or bloody mary to seal the deal! And there you have it folks... 4 steps to a Controlled Chaos of a Saturday in the Lou!!

The day we went, we were in the throughs of a heatwave so it was killer but we visited a cute Mexican stand to get an agua fresca and lemonade, along with nachos. They are the only Mexican food stand AND they only take cash, but it was so good. There was also another stand we saw later on that sold lemonades with more flavor options. There were also 3 produce stands, and plant stand, and a catering company. If you have little ones with you, they have a booth for the kids to color and craft. Very cute if you're in the area!

A bit overrated. It is the biggest farmers market in the core St. Louis area. And the location at…read moreTower Grove Park is beautiful and picturesque. Though I found the selection to be a little lacking, but I must admit that end of May when I visited is early in the farmers market season. You are likely to see more produce offerings in July or August. But there were other things like the location of the market within the park being inconvenient for those walking to the market and seemingly the parking situation since I saw a long line of cars slowly driving by the market trying to locate a parking space. Market prices are also high, but comparable to the upscale ones that I find in Seattle. And lastly it was difficult to find a place to sit and eat. I had to walk about half a block away to find a bench. You may want to bring a towel to the market and have a picnic on the grass if you are going to get some food here.
