Apple picking the way it used to be. Experience what your parents and grandparents might have in our apple orchard. Over a dozen varieties ripen over the season in a beautiful, natural setting. An easy drive in the country from Columbus, Hilliard, Dublin, Powell, Delaware, and Worthington.
This weekend Sept 21 and 22 will be the start of the wild west out here. Every apple variety will be available. The best red ones will be Enterprise. This is due to the drought which is putting a lot of pressure on our trees – but lucky you, if it looks like an apple, it is yours. We will try to do our best with signage to show you what’s where in the field. There will be no more corn this year, but we will have honey.
Open hours are 11-7 (arrive by 6) on Sat Sept 21, Sun and Sun Sept 22.
Sunflowers are almost gone.

Directions from 33 West
- Exit at Scottslawn Road, at the end of the ramp turn right
- Turn left/north on Watkins Road. [This is tricky, Watkins is a curve, you can go left or right, you want left/north.]
- Take Watkins Road to the Hinton Mill Road intersection, turn right/east.
- Take Hinton Mill Road to Springdale Road, you can only turn left, turn left/north.
- Drive a mile or so until you cross a bridge, our farm is on the right just after the bridge.
- Look for the driveway with a big red apple flag and an enter sign.

Flip flops and sandals are not recommended. Please wear sturdy shoes covering your feet. We have rough terrain in the fields. Dogs are not allowed in the field with the fruit trees. (Unless they are service dogs.) Dogs can be walked on a leash in the parking area. Do not leave them in your vehicle unattended.
