Lynd Fruit Farm
Farm · Ohio
Four generations of the Lynd family have farmed this 300-plus-acre spread in Pataskala since 1919, growing apples, peaches, and pumpkins. Fall brings U-pick orchards, a corn maze, and a market stocked with fresh cider and doughnuts, a central Ohio harvest fixture since before the Depression.
