Scanning the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio reveals a wealth of apple-growing towns alongside it. These aren’t new businesses popping up; these are multi-generation orchards with big history and small-town charm. For instance, hillcrestfunfarm in Henrietta is a 5th generation, family-owned and operated retail apple operation. This 85-acre agritainment farm offers fall apple picking, their famous corn maze, a summer concert series, wedding venue and farm market. Likewise, quarryhillorchards, a 3rd generation family-owned wholesale and retail fruit farm in the rolling hills of Berlin Heights, delights visitors with their U-Pick program, a farm market, and their winery. Keeping them company is grobefruitfarm, a 6th generation diversified farm entering its 116th year in West Elyria. While continuing their long-established fruit and vegetable operations, they’ve entered the cider game with tasty libations from their own imprint, the Ohio Cider Company.
