My wife's family has been buying apples here for over 50 years, this is a Chesterland institution. When we visit northern Ohio, we always make a point to stop at Patterson's Fruit Farm. All of their products are fresh and delicious, and the staff is wonderful.

Fall Fest includes many activities for families and kids - including wagon rides, face painting, pony rides and a variety of food options. This location also offers pick your own apples.

The other location on Caves road is where their indoor market plus events center is located. My friends and I enjoyed picking apples here in October 2023 plus, the 1 friend (Leslie) that I came with in September 2024, along with her son, also enjoyed picking apples. Some apples are bad but you'll find many good ones. There are different brands of apples such as Fuji, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, etc. I've found some really big apples which is also cool and fun to find. They are open all year round at all their locations but for Apple picking, that is seasonal only which is in the Autumn season (around September - October) Prices are reasonable for Apple picking. I forgot how much it is per pound but I'm sure it changes often. After you pick your apples, you will take it to be weighed so the less apples you pick, the more affordable it will be. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 17/365 total reviews in 2025 - 798 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

Ransom Sage Farm is such an underrated place for apple picking. They not only had apple picking but…read morealso had a variety of options including raspberries, blueberries, grapes, corn, flowers! My friend and I picked the honeycrisp apples and raspberries, and they were both delicious. The honeycrisp apples were probably the best honeycrisp apples I've ever had. The farm also had a wagon that will take you to different areas of the farms to pick different things (very fall vibes). Overall, would definitely come again and tell others to come!

Enjoy lights www.lakemetroparks.com/events-activities/events/country-lights-2020-2/ We went on a Tuesday night, and I made a reservation on the site about an hour before we got there. Everything was super easy and there was no line when we showed up for our 7pm time slot. Two small negatives: 1. The price at $27 bucks is a bit steep. I've got a place fairly close to me in Allentown, PA that's been doing a driving light display like this for years which is $10 less or I could go to the one at Hershey Park which would be more lights than here but is still technically cheaper. 2. In a sort of, it's not their fault category, the day prior it snowed and several of the displays weren't fully visible due to being some version of snow covered/snow obstructed. Overall this one is nice but small and before you know it, you're done. Is it worth it? For a Grinch like me, it's a waste of money, for someone who loves their Christmas, they might see this as a good investment.

Pretty fun park, we normally go during horse fest. Lots of stuff to do here, there are wagons that…read morego up and down the hill pulled by horses or tractors. Dog friendly because the paths are paved and are wide. There are 2 playgrounds total, one of them is on the top of the hill and the other is at the bottom. There are restrooms that are not the best but work. There are a few picnic tables most of them are covered. Lots of animals and lots of horses during horse fest. Overall I recommend going during horse fest. (My review from Google maps)

Howard's is popular in the Bainbridge area. The produce is seasonal. I purchased rhubarb for a pie…read moreat $5 a pound. That gave me about five cups chopped for a Rhubarb pie. 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. I heard that strawberries came available. Howard's also has an area full of flowers of all kinds. Located near Kenston Schools, Howard's is easy to find. Look for the cute barn and flower buildings, the apple orchard and the gravel lot.

They also have two concession stands! Our family spent four hours and never even made it to the corn maze. The staff is overly accommodating and friendly. I am really surprised by the previous yelp's I read. This is a small family owned business and they were all running around keeping things clean and in order. I really think people need to be careful right now more than ever leaving a bad review because you may be in a mood yourself. If your heading to an outdoor event I would not expect all people to be walking around outside in a mask. If your that afraid you just may want to stay home an order a pumpkin on line. Don't leave a poor review on a local business working hard to stay up and running. This farm has been in Hartville for a long time. That's why it gets packed so quickly. Loyal customers that enjoy a great service they provide to our community. If your looking for a fun day out I highly recommend stopping here.

1 STAR -- Absolutely Horrible Conditions…read more This place was extremely disappointing and honestly heartbreaking. The animals did not appear to be properly cared for at all. The emu was confined to a tiny pen between two buildings, which was especially sad to see. The kangaroos and alpacas were also kept in very small, cramped enclosures. Several animals had dirty water, and the overall conditions made it seem like the animals' basic needs were not being prioritized. The lobby smelled strongly of cat urine and was extremely unpleasant. The cleanliness of the facility was unacceptable. The pony ride was also incredibly disappointing. We paid for a pony ride and got one lap around a tiny area. We were then charged separately for food to feed the animals. What bothered me most is that this is a business making money from these animals, yet the animals we saw did not appear to be receiving the care, space, cleanliness, or conditions they deserve. These are living animals, not attractions to be squeezed into tiny pens just to generate money. I left feeling genuinely sad and angry for the animals. They deserve so much better. I would absolutely not recommend this place. The conditions we witnessed need to be addressed, and the welfare of the animals should come before making money from them.

For $10 you get to take a shot at lifting as many pumpkins as you can.
