About West Orchards Farm Market

West Orchards Farm Market is a 70-acre fruit and vegetable farm near Perry where visitors pick their own strawberries and sour cherries directly from the fields and tree rows. The market also grows sour cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines, pears, and apples across its orchards. Visitors can purchase fresh produce including peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, beets, gourds, pumpkins, sweet corn, and newly added lettuce and fresh herbs. The farm displays antique John Deere tractors from 1938 and 1939 on weekends. West Orchards has been operated by the West family since 1891 and is now in its fifth generation of family farming. The farm market itself was established in the 1960s. Located near Lake Erie's fertile banks in Lake County, the farm benefits from the lake's moderating effect on weather. The market operates seasonally and accepts multiple payment methods including cash, checks, and major credit cards.
