One of Ohio’s most loved destinations is easily found due north of Pataskala’s city proper: Lynd Fruit Farm.

Generations of Sweetness

Since 1919, the family owned farm has been bringing delectable fresh fruit to the tables of country and city folk alike for 8 generations. With nearly 500 acres of orchards and berry plants, Lynd boasts 15 varieties of apples. If you want to pick a peck or buy a bag, they’ve got delicious selections to choose from that are sure to please everyone in your troop.
