The Orchard & Company

What a great find! I occasionally pass by here and thought it was just a small orchard. To my surprise, there's a lot to do here.Parking: free parking, and lots of it!Activities: there's a kids area with a small kids train (I also saw adults hop on), a paintball area, 2 huge bounce areas, a corn pot, apple orchard, a small pond. and so much more!Food/Drink: fun selection of quick, fall free foods like shredded chicken or pulled pork sandwiches. You can purchase a cup of hot apple cider or a gallon of it. There are also pumpkin donuts - which I really wanted, but they were sold out when I arrived.Definitely recommend stopping by for some family/friend/solo fun!

Nice little apple orchard outside of the Columbus area. Took the family to go pick some fresh honey crisp apples. For best apple picking results please go to the company's web site as they keep track of when the apples will be in prime picking. This farm has a good selection of apple to pick from. We stopped in the market to grab some pumpkin donuts and fresh squeezed apple cider. The donuts are fresh and delicious, on the lighter pumpkin flavor side but not in your face. The cider was cold and refreshing, not overly sweet.You can pay for a day pass for the kids.This place has a lot of fun activities for kids, playground, bikes, tractor ride, zip line, ext...If you are looking for something close to home but different this might be the place to go for a few hours.

This place is a super cute orchard with a large kids area too. They have great pumpkin donuts and a large orchard with delicious apples and they have pumpkins too! The kids area has a trampoline, slides and other little rides as well. Our kids love this place and we look forward to coming back to it again.

Went on a field trip with my daughter's class. They had an absolute blast. Got to see animals in the barn, although it's not really a petting zoo- they can't pet them. But they loved it. Took a wagon ride through the orchard. Played in a huge corn pit. Played on the playground. Staff was friendly and helpful. There are other things to do here on a weekend. Plus, apples to buy, and a little café.

This place was pretty cool. Usually, not overly crowded. Stuff for kids to do. Certainly not the most exciting pumpkin/apple/fall play area, but very good. Slides, zip-line, corn box (like a sandbox), petting zoo, fish feeding, bounce pad, large apple picking area, and paintball shooting (extra fee and I think new this year). Good selection of pumpkins and gourds. The biggest surprise was probably the food. Pulled pork was decent. I've had worse at actual bbq places in the area. Many places like this have pulled pork, but it is in a crockpot with tons of sauce because it's so dry. Not here. It was not dry and sauce on the side to add if you want. It was pretty good. The sloppy joe was also good. To me, it was basically hot dog sauce on a bun. They also served a huge hot dog. Had good snap. Not sure why they don't offer the sauce on the dog too. I'm sure you could ask for it. The MUST buy is the pumpkin donut (not pictured because ate so fast). It's by far the best pumpkin donut I've ever had! Everything is a little pricey. We spent $200 here by the end of the day. A fun time for the family and very close to Hilliard and Dublin.

This is definitely more of a place for families and children. There is a large play area for kids to play on. I went late in the season, many of their apples were already off the trees. They only had some yucky brown ones left on the trees. I am sure it is more fun apple picking early on in the season. They have a barn with some animals for kids to look at. There is a paintball station to shoot paintballs at targets. They have a very small gift shop with knickknacks, and a little cafeteria barn to grab some food. I was hoping the gift shop had some food to buy, like jams and pies. It was unfortunately just house decorating goods. There were a lot of pumpkins to purchase. It is very picturesque and a good place to go for some fall photos.

We've come here four years in a row. We've visited other Fall festivals/pumpkin patch but this one stands out because the people are so great. Every person I talked to was friendly and happy to help. John went out of his way to make sure we got some great apples and even gave us a few tips after I mentioned we would be making applesauce. My kids enjoy their time here and the layout is spread out enough that you don't feel like you're in a crowded place even when there are a lot of people walking around. Activities include: petting zoo area, corn pit (like a giant sandbox but with corn kernels), tractor ride like a hay ride but without the hay clinging to your clothes, moo moo express (a train of barrel carts pulled by a side by side or tractor), pedal cars, tire climbing area, two zip lines (think park size so it's not super high off the ground), tube slides, and animals. You can also fish or mine for gems and both of these activities are a little extra. They have a cafe where you can get food, drinks, and desserts. It's reasonably priced and the food is good. Stop by and let the kids burn off some energy!

Ok, this place was very cute but way overpriced. $15 bucks for a small bag of apples, you pick. It was also well past picking season, which I realize is out of their control when I go, but there was a very small sign that my husband noticed once we were in line to buy the bag that said that picking season was well past prime time and we would only be able to pick very picked over selections. They did offer a full refund if we weren't satisfied with what we found. Luckily we got a small bag and I didn't really care about how picked over the apples were because we are a small family, but I wish that this had been advertised more rather than a very small sign off to the side once we were there.

We took my grandson to the Orchard & Company today. We had an AMAZING time! He loved the huge slides and the wagon ride. The apple cider slushies were delish! We will definitely be back!!!

THERE IS POISON IVY UNDER ALL OF THE TREES! LITERALLY EVERY ROW. I saw so many children walk around in sandles or flip flops. I complained but the guy said "oh I'm sure there's some poison ivy out there". Ummmm.. Ommiting this little detail before you let children free in your orchard is wrong on so many levels. I'd like to see you walk through there for an hour with flip flops on. Can you imagine telling a 2 year old to not scratch a poison ivy rash?! You have to pay for your apples before you pick them. I paid $50.00 for 2 large bags. I wish I looked at the apples BEFORE I bought my bags. They are SO SMALL. Most had black spots so it took forever to fill up 2 large bags with inferior apples. I would of been better off to go to Kroger. I will be warning everyone about the poison ivy.
