Lynd Fruit Farm in Pataskala, Ohio is a major central Ohio pick-your-own operation — about 30 minutes east of Columbus — with strawberries (May-June), peaches (July-August), apples (August-October), and pumpkins (October). The Lynd family has operated the farm since the 1940s. The on-site bakery, country market, and the pumpkin festival programming make it the marquee fall destination for Columbus-area families. Multiple apple varieties (40+) and the iconic apple cider donuts are the regional signatures.
What to expect
Drive east of Columbus on I-70. The farm is signed in Pataskala. Park at the main farm market. Pick-your-own runs by season — apples in fall are the marquee. The bakery (cider donuts, pies, fresh bread) and the country market handle year-round visitors. The fall pumpkin festival (October) is the busiest event. Pair with downtown Granville (15 minutes north, historic college town), Newark Earthworks (30 minutes east, Indigenous mound site), or Columbus.
What to bring
- Choose a sturdy tote or backpack so you can keep both hands free on ladders.
- Twist apples upward instead of pulling to protect next week’s crop.
- Plan for temperature swings on the ridge—layers beat bulky coats.
