Lynd Fruit Farm is a pioneer of U-Pick apples and we’ve offered U-pick since the mid 70’s. We suggest you sign up for our CiderPress Newsletter as we will inform you weekly of what is available at the market. We look forward to a great season and remember there’s more to do at the farm then just pick apples! You’ll find information on our apple cannons & maze on this website in the Events/Activities tab and Maze tab.

$40 (Large bag, approximately 20#) - Minimum U-Pick Purchase: There is a $15/car fee upon exiting which is waived when purchasing either (1) Small bag fruit, bouquet of sunflowers, or pumpkin.

MORE U-PICK OPPORTUNITIES!
Berries, Sweetcorn, Sunflowers, Pumpkins, Asian Pear, & Popcorn
Berries
The 2026 raspberry & blackberry crop were lost due to extreme cold temperatures this past winter & spring.
Tart Cherries
Tart cherries grow behind the market and are generally picked late June to early July. Be sure to sign up for the CiderPress Newsletter by mid June!
Peaches
There will be no u-pick peach opportunities for the 2026 season; however, we will have homegrown peaches starting in mid July thru August.
Sweetcorn
Sweetcorn is planted weekly with one XL planting in particular planned to open to the public a specific week. Things don’t always go as planned so that date can fluctuate. Keep your eye on our social media, website or better yet – sign up for our CiderPress Newsletter!
Sunflowers
Sunflowers are now offered similarly to the rest of our u-pick crops. There is no fee to enter the area, but we do ask for a minimum purchase/car. In the case of sunflowers it is a small vase of sunflowers ($15 offering). Also available is a $25 French vase. Bring your own hand pruners or purchase at field entrance. The 2026 dates are not yet determined.

Pumpkins
We have several pumpkin patches, all located on the main farm in Pataskala. They generally open the last week of September and stay open until sold out. Would expect pumpkin u-pick to open Thursday, Sept. 25. Watch the ticker or sign up for the CiderPress Newsletter for updates!
Asian Pear
Asian Pear U-pick is usually a one day event in early October, sometimes late September. It is the only crop we charge by the pound. U-pick Asian pears may not be available in 2026 due to the harsh winter.
Popcorn
Fresh picked popcorn is fun for the family on a cool crisp day in late October or early November. Watch the ticker or sign up for The CiderPress Newsletter!
