This page provides a detailed list of Columbus and central Ohio's
pick-your-own (PYO, U-pick, pick-it-yourself) farms. I'm always
looking for suggestions of more farms and
events to add and feedback about any you have visited, so if you encounter any,
just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the
information, please click on the link to "add my farm".
Remember to ALWAYS either email, call or click the link to
the farm's own website (if they have one) on the morning before you go,
to confirm hours, conditions and availability of the specific crops you want!
We also have our own free and
simple, step-by-step,
illustrated
instructions on canning, freezing and drying many fruits and
vegetables, such as how to make jam,
apple
butter, applesauce,
spaghetti
sauce, salsa,
pickles,
ketchup or
freezing
corn . If
you are looking
for Canners,
mixes, jars, pectin and other canning supplies at the best prices anywhere!
Remember: ALWAYS call (or follow the link to the farm's own website, if the name
is a blue link) to confirm the information before you go! They may close,
run out or change events, times, etc. without notifying me!

A visitor writes on October 13, 2008: "I was
extremely disappointed by this farm and the pick-your-own pumpkin patch. The
property itself was not well taken care of. There was "stuff" everywhere.
From broken down farm equipment, to broken refrigerators and old farm
trucks. The hayride left much to be desired. The distance was about 400
yards, lasted 10 minutes and included old tractors and combines as its only
scenery. The pumpkin patch was hardly that. It was about 20 pumpkins
randomly placed in a field. The pumpkins were already cut off the vine and
it didn’t look like this was where the pumpkins were even grown. The only
animals to be seen on the entire farm were a few pigs and they had an old
tractor right in the middle of their pen. We purchased our sad little
pumpkins and thought we might check out the produce building before we left,
even though we were extremely dissatisfied with the hayride and pumpkin
patch experience. The produce building/farmers market was not any better.
The barn where all this was set up was full of JUNK!!! Literally full of it.
I think out of the entire size of the barn, only about 25% was being used to
sell produce, ever though you could see the piles and piles of stuff
everwhere. There were lots of pumpkins and gourds to choose from but all the
other produce looked pretty terrible. I was really looking forward to a nice
fall day, with pumpkins and farm animals, and this place was AWFUL. I would
not recommend it to anyone. "
A visitor writes on October 14, 2008: "this place was
not at all the way they make it sound! it was a mess i would not go back
there. the place looked as if some had used it for a dump. i have to agree
with the last note made this place is not what it is said to be. "

Corn maze and campfires are cancelled for 2008 -
go to "What's Happening Now" for details. (UPDATED: September 21, 2008)
A visitor writes on July 02, 2009: "I cannot
say enough about this farm. We have been going there for four years and have
never had a negative experience. I recommend it to everyone I know who's
interested in a pick-your-own place or farm market. The kids love going
there. However, farming is directly related to the weather and bad weather
can have undesirable consequences. Check the website before you visit to see
what activities and products are available! All the information you need is
right there and there's a phone number too if you need to talk to someone.
Don't blame the farm for unintended consequences due to uncontrollable
weather conditions! The information about not having the corn maze was
announced (via website and newsletter) with apologies well before the fall
season, so anyone that just did some double checking would have known that
last season's fall activities were going to be less than what is normally
offered."
A visitor writes on June 24, 2009: "My
family has went here to years in a row to pick apples and pumpkins. We love
it here. Have not met a bad worker yet. My children are 3 and 4 y/o and look
forwards to coming here every year. We receive their very helpful
e-newsletter. It lets us know if the Lynd's have something special going on
or not. I highly suggest this family ran farm."
A visitor writes on October 08, 2008: "I would
also like to comment on the person who had the negative experience. We
checked their website and their phone line before going and learned in
advance they weren't able to (have) many of their activities this year due
to weather. Poor planning on a visitors part should not be the fault of the
business. We had a wonderful experience and my sons loved that they could
eat the apples right off the trees. We also went on a tractor ride and the
gentleman was just lovely and really good with the kids. "
A visitor writes on October 01, 2008: "I am
writing in response to a comment (an unnecessarily negative comment, in my
opinion) about Lynd Fruit Farm - Lynd cancelled the corn maze because of all
the rain early in the season - the corn was not growing well enough for a
maze. I don't think it's fair to leave a negative comment about a farm that
was forced to cancel an activity due to weather, and because some people
can't plan ahead, managing to arrive during operating hours."
A visitor writes on September 21, 2008: "I would like
to offer a review of Lynd's Fruit Farm, in Pataskala Ohio in Licking County.
Unfortunately, it's a bad one. They are not doing the corn maze this year
and they have cancelled all their children's activities like the straw
tunnels, the sliding boards, the corn pit, and the games. You should mention
that on your site. Also, their customer service is deplorable. We went there
on a Friday night to pick apples and arrived close to closing time. The
employees were very nice and let us go in to pick apples, but 20 minutes
later the owner came"

farm? Write me!
