Apple Orchards/Pumpkin Farms in Cinci?

Does anyone know any apple orchards/pumpkin farms in Cinci? We're hosting family this weekend and thought this might be something fun to do together.  Any suggestions on places? 

Re: Apple Orchards/Pumpkin Farms in Cinci?

  • We go to Rouster's every year. They have awesome crispy apples. There is a pumpkin patch on the way there, too.

    Exactly this... the pumpkin patch is called Shaw's farm and if you go on a weekend be prepared, it's CRAZY there!

  • We went to both this weekend- Shaw's is overly crowded and like a carnival Tongue Tied  Rouster's was basically a gift shop, with free cider samples (tasted more like juice than cider).  Stay away from Burger Farm too- it's all rides and carnival there as well.

    We recently went to Irons Fruit Farm and had a good time.  They have animals, an orchard you can pick your own apples, a pumpkin patch and hayride and a store where you can purchase various apples and a bakery section.  The apple Fritters are AMAZING!  It's in Lebanon.

  • Rouster's has fantastic apples. Shaw is really geared for families with kids.

  • Just out of Cincinnati, near Lebanon is Schappacher Farms.  It's cool because you get to go to the patch and hunt for your own pumpkin.  If you time it right, you can also catch a train from Lebanon that will take you out to the farm. 
  • DH and I went to Iron's this past weekend. It was a nice place. A bit of a zoo, but I think that is to be expected this time of year. They are done with the pick your own apples, so don't expect to do that, however you can take the hay ride out to the pumpkin patch and corn maze - which looked like fun.

    I say "looked" because we called to see if we could take our dog through the maze (she's been stir crazy lately) and they said yes. But when we got there, the only way to get to the maze was by hayride. No way was I going to get a 50 lb HYPER dog to sit still on a hay ride. Ha!

    I chalk that up to a miscommunication between myself and the woman on the phone. Oh well! Have fun!

  • Thanks for the replies everyone! =)  Has anyone gone through the Corn Maze at Iron's?... Is it worth it? I can see the family enjoying something like this..
  • I have never done the corn maze at Irons, but I have been to the one at Turpin Farms-it's huge!  If you dont know where it's at, take the beechmont levy to 32 towards Newtown, and it's on your right (you will see some signs for the farm, right past the soccer fields).
  • I live in Hamilton, in between Cincy and Dayton and not far from me is a place called Barn N Bunk, they have hayrides, a pumpkin farm and all kinds of neat stuff.  I have never been before but am going this weekend! I want to get a picture of Cadance with some pumpkins and maybe some Apple Butter!  You can google it...and it is free to get in and free parking?  Don't know how far away it is from you?
