Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Ohio.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“This was such a wonderful place to spend the day with my family. The store is packed full of delicious products - we bought an abundance of apple butter, pumpkin butter and apple cider jelly. So good! There is no entrance fee to get in so you can come for free to look around, buy mouth watering apple cider doughnut or apple cider slushie (both I highly recommend) let the kids play at the playground area, and have fun shopping. We picked over 60 lbs of apples and had a blast doing it. They provide the cutest little wagons to haul your picked goods in. The orchards are gorgeous!! Wildflowers grow throgojoit the orchard and there is also a pick your own flowers field that is full of amazing flowers. From the moment you pull up to there is something to captivate your attention. This is one of the best ways to spend a fall day together with someone you love. I will absolutely be back!”

“Totally amazing experience! My son and I came upon a man driving a small utility vehicle while we were wandering in the orchard looking for ripe peaches to pick He greeted us, so I asked him if we were going in the right direction. He offered to drive us to the section with ripe peaches. After a few minutes of picking peaches he returns to us and offers to drive us up to another section with even more ripe peaches. It was an exceptionally welcoming experience! Later on, while purchasing some peach wood for my smoker, the cashier went above and beyond in ensuring that we received the credit we earned from their loyalty program. On a side note, we saw a picture inside the farmers market of the man that drove us around the orchard. Apparently he was the owner. We will definitely be returning!!!”

“A great fall visit! Apple cider donuts, apple picking, apple samples, pumpkins, activities for kids and a big yellow lab walking around to make sure all is in order. Branstool Orchards is a must stop this fall. The variety of apples is extensive with several different varieties. There’s also a field of wild flowers where you can pick your own bouquets. The small market has a great selection of preserves and butters (like peach butter and apple butter). Be careful of the bees, they love this place, too!”

“Really wonderful orchard with different varieties of apples and peaches to pick, as well as an excellent little fresh farmers market. There are tons of activities and play stuff for kids, and obviously a beautiful orchard with AMAZING delicious fresh fruit. Check what's in season before you go, and if you're going for a rarer varietal make sure you show up EARLY!”

“Visits to Branstool Orchard have become a tradition in my household for peaches in the summer and apples and cider donuts in the fall. They really built a reliably cozy and comfortable environment here. The employees are sweet and helpful. And if you're lucky you'll get to have a quick chat with the owner, Marshall, and his sweet pup, Jack. Thanks Branstool crew!”
