Notes:
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.
We will be opening at 11 on Sat the 5th for U-pick apples, varieties Honeycrisp, Macintosh and Jonafree. Quantities are limited due to bad early spring weather. We will also have sweet corn from our corn guy Gary and sweet local honey from Fairbanks Spring. There is a chance of rain, we will be open in drizzle but not in a downpour. If the weather does not cooperate, we will reopen on Sun at 11. Happy Labor Day weekend!
The sunflowers did not like the rain. They are short and small. They will still make a pretty bouquet. Picking them will be free with purchase.
Look forward to seeing you!
Payment One peck, which is about 13 pounds of apples when packed full, is the minimum purchase and includes admission, parking, and visiting the farm. Cash, card and contactless forms of payment accepted.

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.
