A Day At Lynd 's Fruit Farm

A Day At Lynd’s Fruit Farm

“Cider, All You Can Drink for 10 cents” had become famous for the little retail market named Lynd’s Fruit Farm in 1954. There were tons of billboards that were set up around the small town of Pataskala, and after having put up the signs, it drew in a crowd larger than you can imagine. A bunch of local people and even highway travelers visited the market to what it was all about. Soon after, the owners of Lynd’s wanted to expand the farm. Therefore, they added a new packing house, cold storages, and a cider mill. In the 60’s, there are about 250 to 300 acres. A program called, Pick Your Own Apples, started in the mid 1960’s. They had wagon rides came back as an optional fun activity in 1966. Currently, Lynd’s Fruit Farm has about 60,000 apple trees, 20 acres of peaches, and 16 acres of berries. It takes about 40 leaves to support and grow one apple on a standard tree. The smaller trees around the farm have about 25 leaves to support an apple.

Lynd’s Fruit Farm is a great place to visit because someone can enjoy the nature aspect, be able to meet new people, and learn the history of the United States through the corn maze.

A Day At Lynd’s Fruit Farm

On a gorgeous Saturday morning of September 10th, 2016, my grandmother and I talked about going to Lynd’s Fruit Farm. It was my first time going to Lynd’s Fruit Farm, but my grandmother had already been there once before when my mom was pregnant with me. We decided that we wanted to go, so I drove us there. As we were driving down Morse Road, I noticed that traffic was heavier than usual. I was not sure where to park at first, so I just parked in the Fruit Farm market main parking lot. The parking lot was full of cars, parents with their strollers, little...

Eventually, we found our way out of the maze. We were in the maze for about 45 minutes, but every minute was worth it. After that, my grandma asked me if I wanted to do anything else, and I told her that I was fine. We walked back to the car and after we got in, my grandma asked if we could go to the market one more time. We bought some peaches and a few apples then we headed back home.

Lynd’s Fruit Farm is a great place to visit because you are able to see all the different types of fruit and vegetables that you would not normally see. Also, it gets you out of the house and be able to appreciate what nature can offer. It’s great for the kids, too! They are able to learn about the history of the United States and how things came to be. Lastly, the workers are very polite and make your experience so great, it makes you want to come back again!
