Brant's Apple Orchard

“We finally checked out this viral Instagram orchard everyone’s been talking about. The property is huge and there were tons of apples still available for picking—not as picked over as other farms we’ve visited. The pond by the bakery is beautiful and makes for great photo spots. One thing we really appreciated was that it was way less hectic than Patterson’s. We loved being able to do a little bit of everything—apple picking, grabbing treats, taking photos—without the insane lines or crowds. Do expect a long line at the bakery, but it moved surprisingly fast, and there was plenty of seating once you got your food, which was a nice bonus. Now for the famous cider slushies and donuts: they’re definitely cute and very Instagrammable, but for us, they didn’t quite live up to the hype—probably not worth the one-hour drive from Cleveland just for those alone. Taste-wise, they were good but pretty average. That said, we still had a great time overall! We enjoyed some treats, went apple picking, and got some lovely fall foliage shots. A fun fall outing overall!”

“found this place from a tik tok😆went here for my birthday and just had a lovely time definitely worth the drive. apple cider is good. they have a bunch of cool knickknacks in their gift shop.. (apple flavored pickles?!?!) and a bunch of unique apples. the hay ride was amazing and only 5 dollars?!?! our host, jake, was very friendly and informative! beautiful to look at as well as trails and a pond to sit around while u snack!!! nature is beautiful and they’ve shown that off perfectly! ❤️🍎🍎”

“Late in the day so quiet. Gorgeous playground for kids. Wood tractors, shed house for kids, and a climbing covered Bridge. So many apple choices. The bakery is always worth checking out. So many goodies. They can also make sandwiches, coffee, cider, etc. There is a nice display of the working equipment. Apples press, sorting area, tables to eat your food on. Lots of outside picnic tables. Beautiful pond views, vineyard views and old trees. They close end of October and reopen come Spring.”

“This place was awesome! The cider slushies and regular cider were delicious. The pulled pork Mac sandwich and the Oreo donut were specials so you may not have them available but both were incredibly amazing. The sandwich was probably close to being one of the best pulled porks I ever had. The donut was about the second best I ever had but the best I've had is from a business not open anymore so this'll do! Beautiful sitting areas, well kept, and plenty of parking. Highly recommend!”

“A few of my friends and I enjoyed the beautiful weather yesterday and made a trip to Brant’s Apple Orchard. Both of them had been there before, but it was my first visit and I found it very welcoming and beautiful! Our lunches were great and our take home goodies turned out to be delicious, from the Buckeyes to the Apple Crisp - so yummy! I look forward to coming back to visit soon!”

“An apple orchard/farmers market with a great bakery and sandwich shop. Easy access and parking. The restrooms are in a trailer at the back n of the lot. They were well appointed and spotless. A wheel chair accessible port a potty is nearby as well. The market is pretty standard. Lots of canned and processed foods and condiments. The bakery and sandwich counter are excellent. The selection is small but everything we ordered was very nice. Serving an apple with every order is a great touch. Paying for the food is crazy complicated. You make your order then go to the other side of the market to pay and make a second order for drinks. Then go back to the sandwich counter to pick up your food, the back to the entrance where the tables are located. And you are one of many doing this with no lines or queues. Crazy complicated. Once you get the food it is tasty. I get the feeling the orchard used to be a m major industrial enterprise. Now it caters to tourist and such. There is a playground outside. I am not sure if I would go out of my way to go back but if in the neighborhood I would stop in for a donut and caramel cream hot cider.”

“This is an awesome little place to stop by when in the area. Good was good. Cider and goods are amazing especially the creamy cider slush, so amazing. I don't know if they read these reviews but if I had one suggestion for them it would be to put in a loop driveway for those pulling campers. Once you are in the driveway the only way out (with a trailer) is to back out. The parking lot is fine for cars and trucks and whatnot but it is far too tight to maneuver with a trailer. Maybe at least put a sign up warning those of us with trailers that there is no where to turn around. Not a complaint, just a warning to those pulling and maybe a suggestion to Brant's. Maybe put a loop around the power box out front with trailer parking.”

“Such a disappointment. We went with grandkids and they enjoyed the playground. That was the only positive experience here. Chaotic and long lines. They say they have samples, but there were none we were were here on a Saturday. We waited in line for 35 minutes to order food and then had to wait in line 10 minutes to pay for food and the products we purchased. Then after paying for the food, you have to go back through a crowded line to the food pick up window. I was ignored at the pickup counter for 5 minutes despite 4 employees huddled together talking. By the time I got my grilled cheese sandwich, it was barely warm. The sandwiches were served with a whole apple that was a bit soft and mushy. The playground was free but there is a charge for the hayride. To pay for the hayride, you have to wait in the same line as the food and market payment line”
