CherryHawk Farm

This has always been my favorite place in central Ohio to pick apples. It's in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but fresh air, perfect place to grow apples. I love that it's no-frills, only thing besides picking apples was some honey for sale. The staff are always so friendly and despite no activities for children, all the kids I saw were having a great time picking apples. Today there were tons of Gala and Honeycrisp, I was in and out within 10 minutes

Beautiful orchard! Such a pretty location.The staff was really friendly and the orchard was not at all crowded.We picked lots of apples and just tasted one at home - so good!

Most people I know in Columbus recommend Lynd Farm or Orchard & Co for fall apple picking outings, but my personal favorite for picking apples is CherryHawk Farm. They're smaller but have basically the same variety of apples to pick from. The added bonus at CherryHawk is that you can buy a hand-made wooden basket to carry your apples in, instead of just getting a clear plastic bag. And I believe the cost of the basket + apples here is competitive with the cost of just the apples at other places. CherryHawk also has a sunflower field that you can enter and pick sunflowers to take home with you for free after you're done picking apples! One caveat is that since they're smaller, their apples get picked through quicker too. If there's a specific type of apple you want, be sure to follow their website regularly in the late summer/early fall so that you don't miss out!

We visited Cherry Hawk Farms today and had a wonderful time! It helped that the weather was absolutely perfect which obviously has nothing to do with the farm itself but it really added to our day. The price to enjoy the farm, pick apples, and explore the sunflowers, seems reasonable at $30 for two people. We got two big bags of apples which we honestly have no idea what we will even do with all of those. We really enjoyed using the apple pickers and had a great time trying to find different kinds around the farm and trying different varieties. The Sunflowers are gorgeous and I have never seen so many in my life. There were also butterflies flying around as well which was really beautiful. If you get a chance to get there in the next few weeks while they are still open I highly recommend it!

If you can believe it, I've been in Columbus for 15+ years now and never visited any of the farms dotted along the rural periphery.I had a week off for our 15th wedding anniversary and the idea of going apple picking, baking the entire week, and spoiling my spouse with a myriad of deliciousness from the oven captivated me.They had rows and rows of a Japanese apple variant that is delicious to eat in hand or for cooking, which was perfect! For a modest fee you can fill a whole basket to the brim that they supply! They even give you a claw like appendage to reach apples high up (but word of advice - just because it's up high, doesn't mean it's the best!)All in all - it was a blast and a great unorthodox couples activity. Recommended when needing to just get outside while still doing something together.Also, baking with apples YOU picked? Absolutely priceless sensation.

So happy a coworker told me about this spot. My mom was visiting from out of town and I wanted to take her apple picking. All I've ever heard about Columbus apple picking is all about one specific place out east. I'd always heard it's good, but usually insanely packed with tons of kids.Nothing against kids, but if you're like me, if you don't have them, you don't really wanna be around a bunch of them screaming and running around when you're just trying to have a chill weekend. I was nervous about going to the other place until a coworker told me about CherryHawk. She told me it'd be closer to where I live (by Tuttle) and that it's waaay less crowded. So we gave it a shot.I am SO happy I did. We got there at 10:45am on Sunday...we didn't realize until we got there that they didn't open until 11. Even still, the woman greeted us and told us we could go on ahead and start picking. She explained the varieties to us and invited us to grab an apple picking stick (a nice touch!) and head out. Her husband then came over and told us that since rain was in the forecast, we were welcome to drive our car through a clearing in the orchard in case we got caught in a storm. Super nice and helpful couple! The two apple varieties available when we went were called Mutsu and Enterprise. One sweet, one tart. Both delicious. We enjoyed our time together picking apples and hanging out. Around 11 a few families showed up, but it was definitely not what I'd call crowded.The apples were a great price - $15 for a big bag.They even have some pheasants and chickens you can go see. Never seen black and white chickens before visiting this place! Will definitely be back next season!!!

We chose to go apple picking at Cherry Hawk because it wasn't too far away and had good online reviews. Cherry Hawk is pretty far out in the country but not a bad drive.They have a gravel parking area and a little check-in tent where you can buy one large bag for $15, two medium bags for $15 or four small bags for $15. It's $15 no matter what.When we went, they had three different types of apples that were ready to be picked: Yellow Delicious, Mutsu, Enterprise.That's the main reason why I didn't give it five stars. I would've liked a wider variety of apples to pick or even have pumpkins available. I also would've liked to purchase some homemade apple cider or apple pastries. The restrooms are just two Porta Potties so nothing fancy. The family members were making homemade apple butter over a big copper kettle pot. We chatted with the folks making the apple butter and I got to stir the pot for a little bit. They said there was over 22 gallons of apple cider in the apple butter!I'd recommend Cherry Hawk for a nice casual apple picking experience.

Great way to wrap up my Birthday weekend!! Folks are very nice and welcoming! Come check them out !!

Awesome flowers and delish apples! So many trees and friendly owner! Highly recommend for a family fun day. Very clean port a potties and hand washing station.

Our family has been picking apples and sunflowers at Cherry Hawk Orchard for over 20 years and we just love it! The variety and quality of apples are delicious but the atmosphere and experience is priceless.Our kids and their friends all look forward to going every fall. I can't say enough about the owners, they are the heart and soul of the place and their love flows over to their customers.Thank you CHAO for being apart of our families memories and for producing delicious apples!!!!
