The staff was…read morefriendly and helpful, the selection of apples and vegetables was nice without being overwhelming, and the whole thing couldn't have been easier to navigate. I took a day trip from Indianapolis to visit the orchard after discovering them on FB. I picked up some delicious Melrose and Shizuka apples, as well as some fresh raspberries, peaches, and tomatoes. The baked goods called my name; I had to purchase a Dutch Apple Pie and Lemon Crumb Pie. All of the above have already been tasted by my family and are delicious! This is definitely a trip worth taking and I will definitely be coming back to do some berry and apple picking with the family. Thank you Rittman!

I have so many wonderful memories at this place, and we made more this fall! I went with my kiddos…read moreand several other family members to pick apples. This is an excellent spot for everyone, no matter their age. My kiddos had a blast and loved picking and eating whatever apples they could find. I was most excited for the Golden Delicious apples, but unfortunately, they didn't seem to be as ripe compared to the others. I'm hoping they ripen more in the bag that we took home! Rittman Orchard has a restroom and a shop as well, but they're as you enter and away from the apples, which are uphill. One of these days, I'd love to go earlier in the season to pick other fruits!

Unfortunately, it was unseasonably cold and very, very windy at the time of our visit. Many vendors were losing their tents and supplies to the wind. Despite that, some vendors continued on, and we enjoyed looking (and tasting!) a variety of food and other goods. We picked up some sweet treats from Red Bean Bakes and Black Sheep Baking Co, while Lionforce BBQ dished us up some nice warm breakfast burritos to enjoy at the provided picnic tables. A lively strings duo provided some great music too.

Some food items are in glass refrigerators. There are lots of jars of pickles, salsas, pickled eggs and more since gardens are not producing much the first of June.

Look for the cute barn and flower buildings, the apple orchard and the gravel lot.

This is a Hollywood movie come true!…read more The Sirna's were your typical urban-dwelling family with regular city-type jobs up until a few years ago when they decided to buy a plot of land and move out to the country to start farming. Today, they do a great job encouraging and supporting local farming initiatives while taking their hard-worked goods to weekend markets in Cleveland suburbs like Shaker Heights and South Russell. They also operate their own storefront on their land open during growing season which features their own goods as well as stuff from local farms and wineries (cheese, sausages, canned goods, wines, etc.) - again, supporting the local farmers and businesses. One story I always tell people is on one weekend I was desperate for some dill as I had a bunch of baby cuckes at home ready to be pickled. She ran out of the store and came back from the fields a few minutes later handing me this gigantic bouquet of dill weed for about $2. Now I only needed a few sprigs for the pickles but boy the house smelled great for a week! We participated in their CSA one year - a way of buying a share in the farmers' operation. For an up-front lump sum fee, your share nets you a weekly bag of whatever the crops yield that week. This goes on for several months while crops can be harvested. While you don't usually get a choice of what you'll receive (it's whatever is ripening that week!), every bag has an abundance of food. This is perfect for the family that has flexibility in preparing and eating a variety of vegetables from week to week. We received throughout the growing season (not in just one week) corn, potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, radishes, zucchini, butternut squash, yellow squash, kohlrabi, onions, and much more. On weeks which were light on crops, especially in the beginning, Sirna's substituted freshly-ground peanut butter and local honey. Sirna's also does a Fall festival open house with hay rides for the kids. Located along 44 about 2 miles south of 422, Sirna's is definitely worth your while to stop by here one of your summer/fall weekends and support your local farmers.

They serve donuts, ice cream, and various drinks, etc. Outside, there is a creek and you can work on your bike. There are mountain biking trails outside of this cafe in Austin Badger Park. They have a station that you can hang your bike from to make it easier to change a tire or what have you. They also have an air pump. We really enjoy walking the trails, but to ride a bike on the trails would be exhausting since no part of this park is flat...it's all hills. It used to be a golf course. If you bike here, your quadriceps will get a great workout. If you have bad knees, like me, you sit and watch others ride the hilly trails.
