I'm going to start this review by saying I'm not from around here. I hail from Northeast Ohio,…read morewhere apple picking is a quintessential fall activity that takes place in late September through October. So imagine my disappointment when last October I went hunting for an apple orchard in the greater Cincinnati area only to discover every single one had sold out of u-pick apples by the end of the first weekend of the month. Um, what?! So this year I was determined to get my apple picking in, even if that meant going in the second week of September. Which I did, right here at Monnin Fruit Farm. This place is out in the country as it should be and has a great variety of apples to choose from. When we went, the honey crisp were already nearly gone, but they'd just opened up the winesap rows. We got some of everything, from Fuji to golden delicious to macintosh. You buy by the half bushel or the bushel; prices aren't posted but this year the half bushel is $20. Cash or check only! Be sure to check out the store as well. On our way out we grabbed a dozen free range eggs, some apple butter and a bag of toffee. They've also got local milk, meat products and other produce. Monnin gets high marks for 1) actually having apples, 2) posting u-pick information on Facebook, 3) their awesome store and 4) knowledgeable staff. Minus one star for a confusing map/flag system for identifying apple varieties, and only two sizes for buying apples. Didn't really need a whole half bushel but you can bet I filled that bag! Would be nice to pay by weight or have a smaller size. Overall, this place scratched my apple-picking itch. Great way to kick off fall. Now, who's ready for apple pie?

It's very cute inside, has a nice selection of jams and preserves as well as fruits and veggiesread more

I was pleasantly surprised at the food served here. Soup,…read moresandwiches, and Salads. Individual menus for sandwiches with multiple bread options, wraps, salads, serve your soup, pick out your desserts, and any chips that you would like. Each person gets their menu, which you turn in. They make your food hot and fresh. You pay after your sandwich is made, and you tell them all the side items you picked up throughout the dining area. after you get your freshly made sandwich, they have a full condiment bar to go put your own lettuce, tomato onion, pickles, peppers on your sandwich. The soups and the desserts in the sandwiches are made fresh in-house. After you've enjoyed a delicious meal, they've got a full grocery store with a creamery, a confectionery, a deli, and a meat counter.

This place is much smaller but was perfect for our needs and priced just right. Their frozen apple cider is also 10x better! We will be visiting this place yearly from now on! It's so cute and offers plenty of spots for photos.

Got a jug of local honey, and some hand made soaps. My daughter got some fresh milk, yogurt and housewares. There's always something interesting to see.

What is not to love about this market. Casual, relaxing, great place to walk around and hang out…read more Not a big size market compare to others in some bigger cities, but it has a lot of the things that you can think of from fresh produce to bakeries and hot food, coffee, wine shop, and maple syrup, taro cards, handmade crafts, fresh cut juicing greens, local honey, and more. Ample parkings all around, both front and back. Highly recommend.

This is a great farmers market near the square in Troy, OH. It's only open on Saturday mornings and…read morewe try to stop by every week. Today we bought tomatoes, beets, flowers, peaches, onions, green beans, cookies and a Troy strawberry schrunchie. It's a bit on the small side, especially for a community surrounded by farms. But the quality is very high for everything. We like it so much that we quit gardening. (No need) It gets a big recommend from me!

Fresh, Local, Organic, Unique, AWESOME!…read more Yellow Springs Farmers market is the best in the area!! They are open every Saturday morning May to November from 7 am to noon, But don't arrive at noon or you will be disappointed. As their website says, with over 20 different vendors, they have fresh and organic fruits and vegetables from many different local farms. They also have organic meat, cheeses, and eggs. There are fresh baked goods and even a few great gluten free vendors!! They have local honey, local maple syrup, and even a place for fresh cut flowers. My personal favorites are the organic and local veggies, local honey, Flying Mouse local maple syrup, and the organic bacon. Once, I got some organic ham too and it was amazing!!! For people with food allergies - Lots of gluten free products. You will be amazed! Plus some free samples. You'd never know they were gluten free. I wish I could remember the name of the vendor, but one of my favorites has a completely gluten free kitchen because she has Celiac disease, so no cross contamination issues!!! For people with pet allergies, be careful. There are almost always people who bring their dogs. Also don't miss Yellow Springs Winter Farmers market - not as many vendors or variety but still worth the trip! Tips: Go early!!! You won't get the bacon or the pick of the produce if you go late. Park behind Tom's Market. Easy parking. Bring your own reusable bags. It is Yellow Springs after all. LOL. Bring plenty of cash in lower bills if possible. Ask questions. No one here minds talking about their products! Bring a gluten free friend along. They will thank you!

Fun place to browse and get a pie to go! It was my first…read moretime in, and I decided to stop in and see if they sold any local honey. They did, it was from Lebanon Ohio not far down the road. They also had some classic cars on display they sell homemade fudge and other homemade candies. They had some novelty items like dog ornaments and socks for Christmas. They also had lots of neat canned items that you don't see on the grocery shelves. They had single pieces of pie and whole pies to buy and some other food items you could sit down and eat. I will definitely be stopping back when I can. And by the way, the honey was $19 for a 2 lb. jar.
