BLUE FROG FARM & THE PATCH ON 37 ARE FARMS OWNED BY LYND FRUIT FARM WHICH HAVE OCCASIONAL PICK YOUR OWN CROPS.  

 BLUE FROG FARM, 5499 SportsmanClub Rd. in Johnstown, OH is named after a brilliant blue bullfrog that resided in the pond during the spring of 2012.  Blue Frog is a working farm, not generally open to the public.  We do open occasionally for apple u-pick as noted on the ticker, Facebook or Cider Press Newsletter which is emailed weekly during market and harvest seasons.    BLUE FROG is where most of the apples sold in the market are grown.  Apples, pumpkins & blackberries pick your own are offered once in a while, not often.  

THE PATCH on 37, 3131 Johnstown Alexandria Rd. NW, Alexandria is the home of the Red & Black Raspberry and Elderberry Pick Your Own field.  We raise a few blackberries there as well.  Picking times are determined on a day to day basis based on ripening and availability.  The 2024 Hotline number for berry picking is 740-789-9104

 2024 Apples – Watch the ticker, apple picking schedule, Facebook and Cider Press Newsletter for picking locations and dates.  

Due to the nature of the clay ground on the ridge where Blue Frog Farm is home to a spectacular orchard, it is not ideal for growing berries.  This old berry patch is being replaced with a new planting at The Patch on 37 where the valley ground that lies near the stream should produce beautiful berries.  During the spring of 2021 we planted 7 acres, mostly raspberries, to open 2022.  Stay tuned!
