About Branstool Orchards

Branstool Orchards is a farm in Utica, Ohio where visitors pick their own fruit and flowers directly from the fields. Guests can harvest peaches, apples, and pears depending on what is ripe, or select pre-picked fruit from the farm market. The orchard also offers cut-your-own flowers including sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos, dahlias, and gladiolus, with plans to expand pick-your-own pumpkins. The farm market sells local honey, syrup, salsas, jams, butters, and pickles. The Donut Hut serves fresh cake donuts daily, while the Happy Apple Eatery food truck provides lunch options. A free play area allows children to run around between activities. The 43-year-old orchard, started by Marshall Branstool, sits in scenic countryside about 45 minutes northeast of Columbus and welcomes families seeking hands-on farming experiences and homegrown produce.
