The Orchard & Company

This place has a ton of fun activities for the kids. A pedal car track, zip line, wagon ride, big huge jump thing, and a corn box kinda like a sandbox, but filled with corn. My kids did the gem mining which costs an extra $ 5-​$ 6 a bag. The fishing pond costs an extra $ 2.
My reason for two stars is because adults do NOT need to pay the $ 10 admission! Bad thing is, no one told us. After I dropped $ 40 for admission for myself, the wife, and two kids, the only thing my wife and I did was the hayride, which was enjoyable, but not worth the $ 10 a piece admission.

Great place for apples. Very big orchard. Wear closed toed shoes, you will be stepping all over apples on the ground! Not as quaint as going to a family-​owned farm, but still you get the u-​pick experience!

I have been going to the Orchard for the past 6 seasons! Love all of the attractions! The best part about our visit is the café. They have the best apple wood smoked pulled pork and their pumpkin doughnuts are to die for! Apple picking is always fun too, so many varieties to choose from…

A beautiful place to spend the weekend with your grandkids. Mine loved the corn barn where they got to play with lots of Tonka trucks in a huge box full of corn. The peddle car track was a lot of fun as the adults got to ride and race with the kids. We had a snack of hot spiced cider with wonderful pumpkin donuts and later on ate home made Chicken and dumplings and pulled pork sandwiches that were huge…
It was a fun getaway and I would highly recommend it… was a great time, we took home delicious juicy apples and a gallon of cider… The prices were very affordable compared to buying your apples in the grocery store.
This is a wonderful family oriented farm. We even went fishing before we headed home and the grand kids were thrilled to catch their very first fish! The staff we met were all friendly and helpful .
We will definitely make this a yearly adventure.

No actual pumpkin patch but my 3yo son didn’t seem to care. Corn box, kiddie train ride, bouncy thing… plenty kid activities. Expensive admission apples & concessions.

I have been driving past here all summer and was super excited for fall to finally come so we could visit for the fall festival.
I was surprised that it costs $ 10 to just get into the festival. I was expecting to pay for each individual activity. I could see it being nice if you plan on staying for a long time. They had zip lines, slides, train, corn box, carts, and a gem mining activity (the mining cost an additional 7+). My one year old loved the corn box. It was like a sand box but with hard corn pieces. The staff kept everything clean and swept often.
The gift/​food shop was very minimal. I love everything fall/​Halloween related and they didn’t have much in terms of homemade edibles or décor. Since everything seemed so child oriented I think a little shopping would be fun for the adults. The food was limited. There was apple cider, donuts, pulled pork, etc. We got a donut and had dinner elsewhere.
The orchard seemed very lively. We didn’t pick the apples but took the little train through the orchard. It looked like there were plenty of apples! I wouldn’t mind coming back again for them. For some reason I expected the trees to be bigger. They looked like apple bushes to me.
I hope this orchard plans on expanding more because they had great service and there were some really fun activities. I will definitely be back.

I went here today to pick apples. The orchard is located on US Highway 42 at near Price Hilliards Road, and as such isn’t too far for someone who lives in the northwestern reaches of the Columbus metropolitan area (such as myself).
The prices are quite reasonable – I was able to get a half bushel of Jonamac and Gala apples for $ 18. The apples are fresh and delicious, of course.
If I had to pick a downside, it’s that the orchard and farm are set up as a touristy family festival spot. The queues, the screaming children running around, the tractor/​hay rides, the photo op props… I’m sure it would be enjoyable for many people, but that kind of hustle and bustle just isn’t for me. I’d rather pick my food in peace and quiet. (Fortunately, if you go far enough back through the rows of Jonamac and Gala trees, you have the opportunity to get away from a lot of the noise.)

The Orchard & Company runs a Fall festival from September 22^nd through the month of October. It is very kid friendly as it is good for kids 0 – 13. It has a variety of activites to choose from. It has a small zip line with 4 different tracks separated into two sections for sizes. They also have big, rubber bouncy mat for kids to play on. The kids seemed to love this while I was there as it was the most popular spot. Then they have a small track for pedal cars where adults and kids alike can play together. I raced another adult around the track while also racing some kids (I needed some exercise). Beside the track is some type of large slide that I didn’t go try or pay attention to but it was also a popular spot for little ones. A nice café with fresh baked items resides in the middle with expensive pies and cookies. The one joy I got from the stand was the apple cider slushie for $ 2.50. Beside the café is a pond for fishing but you need to pay extra to fish. They have numerous pumpkins where you can buy a small one for $ 3 and take pictures of your kids which is what we did. This is the main play area.
The other side has a barn with animals to pet. They have shetland ponies, goats, pigs, calves and bunnies. My daughter enjoyed watching the animals until she met the pigs which scared her. Another section of the barn has a sandbox and a few other things that I didn’t pay attention to. I went into that barn last year but skipped walking over there this year because the little one was thinking a nap was in order. They have «hay wagon» rides which disappointed me because I like hay bales to sit on during a hay wagon ride. This is just a wagon with benched seating on the back of a tractor, but they drive you through an apple orchard. They also have barrel cars that kids enjoy but not for adults. Tickets are $ 8 unless you get a discount which I have received because of going in groups. The place is good for parents with kids 4 – 12. It was fun to watch my friends kids enjoy as mine is to small to really benefit from all of the fun. I went last year and now this year so it is a nice family place. I wish they had real hay wagons and a pumpkin patch to pick pumpkins.
