Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in Missouri?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak mid-May through late May; sweet corn peak early July through late July; apples peak mid-August through late September.
When does the market season start in Missouri?
The first local crops (asparagus) show up around early April, and the boards fill from there.
Where can I go u-pick in Missouri?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Missouri, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
