Missouri farming began with Native Americans who grew corn in the river valleys and gathered nuts and berries. European settlers discovered that Missouri's varied climate and soil were perfect for growing many different crops. The state became known for growing peaches in the Ozark Mountains and corn and soybeans in the northern plains. Missouri farmers also raise more beef cattle than most other states.
Missouri has different farming regions from the flat northern plains to the rolling Ozark Mountains in the south. The Missouri and Mississippi Rivers provide water and fertile soil from flooding. Northern Missouri has rich prairie soil like Iowa, while southern Missouri has hills, forests, and different soil types. The climate varies from north to south, allowing different crops to grow.
Missouri peaches from the Ozark Mountains are ready to pick from June through August and are known for being especially sweet and juicy. You can pick apples in fall when Missouri orchards produce many different varieties. Blackberries grow wild and on farms throughout Missouri and ripen in July. The state also grows great sweet corn and tomatoes that are ready in summer.
Summer and early fall are the best times to visit Missouri farms when peaches, berries, and other crops are ripe. The Ozark Mountains provide beautiful scenery along with great fruit picking. Weather can vary across the state, so check local conditions before visiting. Many Missouri farms are family-owned and offer tours, tastings, and stories about farming in the Show-Me State.
