I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Ah, fall. There’s nothing quite like it. And while we’re all for the pumpkinpalooza that happens this time of year, there’s another fall player that quite literally came first, and that’s the apple. These beguiling beauties begin popping up in Ohio each August, dotting the landscape of the Buckeye State with the autumnal ROYGBIV of ruby reds and scarlets, golden yellows and honeys, and everything in between. In Columbus, Ohio, Lynd Fruit Farm is an enchanting u-pick apple orchard that celebrates the bounty of fall, offering folks the opportunity to pick, taste, and revel in autumn’s humble mascot.
There's something so simple and special about picking your own produce. And while we love summer's berries and stone fruit, apples really do have our hearts.
Because apples signify the end of summer and start of fall; the beginning of the harvest season and, in our opinion, the most glorious time of the year in the Buckeye State.
Each fall, Lynd Fruit Farm produces and harvests some of the finest apples in the Midwest. Evercrisp, Ludacrisp, Bakers Delight, Rosalee, and Crunch A Bunch -- you can find some of the most unique and delicious varieties at this family-run farm.
In fact, owner/grower Mitch Lynd is revered as one of the top apple growers in the country, crossing and creating apples suited for Midwest growers that would have a longer storage life, better taste, and more desirable texture. You can find many of these varieties today at Lynd's.
There's something so delightfully simple about picking your own fresh fruit. It's wholesome, grounding, and connecting; bringing us closer to the earth and the farmers and the wider, wonderful world!
Oh, and pumpkin people? We see you -- and so does Lynd Fruit Farm! Their pumpkin butter is EVERYTHING and will take your homemade PSLs to the next level.
Have you visited this enchanting apple orchard in Columbus, Ohio before? Lynd Fruit Farm is a delightful fall day trip in Ohio that might just become your new favorite tradition.
