A & M Farm Orchard

Absolutely wonderful experience!!!
So it takes a little while to get out to the farm if driving from downtown however it’s time well spent because of what’s in store. This was our first time apple picking here, and it couldn’t have gone better. From fuji to empires to golden delicious and more… these folks had it all! Had we come a few weeks prior we would’ve had a shot at pears too. 33 cents per pound. They provide you with a bucket and off you go. It’s really only a three minute walk but you do have to go up and down on some rocks and a stream so they offer rides weather permitting.
They also sell a variety of vegetables inside, cider, kettle corn. Cash and check only so come prepared. Staff is incredibly helpful and takes the time to run you through the process.
Will be back in the future. Needless to say the apples taste incredible!

Let me start by saying this was first experience apple picking but the bar has been set pretty high! A&M isn’t particularly close to my home, it took roughly an hour to get there during which I started wondering whether or not it was worth this drive, my boyfriend also began questioning me on whether this place was really going to be worth the commute. When we pulled up, the «parking lot» was packed! Definitely a good sign! There was really no direction as to how we were to go about getting to the orchard but we were quickly helped by a friendly employee. They had a tractor pulling a trailer to get people to the orchard but a friendly woman with a giant bucket full of apples informed us that walking to the orchard would be easy it was the walk back with a bucket full of apples that was the hard part. We walked down a gravel path that was next to a stream and quickly found the orchard. They had 4 maybe 5 varieties of apples. We were really excited when we first arrived to see that they also had pears that you could pick as well. Unfortunately there weren’t really any pears to be found but still nice to know going forward. They also had a pick you own pumpkin patch that we walked past and were really impressed with the quality of pumpkins there, it’s early in the season so most people haven’t stomped through the patch yet which probably helped their case. We walked back to have our apples weighed and pay for them along with a few gourds and mini pumpkins I found for around the house. They also have a small shop where they sold homemade apple cider that is simply to die for! I am an apple cider snob and this stuff is incredible! Overall I’m very happy with our experience and we’ll definitely be going back! My only issue was the lack of direction but thanks to friendly regulars we were able to navigate our way around.

This is just a great little country apple farm… I have been here many times and love the apple, strawberries, and many other goodies. On the weekend bring the kids. They have wagon rides when the apple are in season, They also have the best apple cider I have ever had… It is worth the drive just to buy it… They have free samples for you to try the cider… Get on there email list so you know when to come and pick apples and strawberries.

Just came here the other day with my mom, sister, brother and two nephews to do some apple picking. Just a note this is a drive and out in the middle of nowhere, not that it’s a problem. We live in Glendale and it was a 55 min drive.
A&M Farm Orchard is a place where you go in and tell them I want to pick apples and they give you a bucket with a bag in and an apple picker and off your party walks for a half mile into the apple orchards. There are plenty of rows of apple trees, but when we came many of them have been picked and with the horrible drought this summer it really hurt them.
Be prepared to walk through mud and thru high grass to pick apples so dress accurately.
The store sells apples, apple cider and many apple products like butter, jam etc.
Everyone was very nice and I can’t wait till next year to come out here and pick some more.
A note– I would plan a day out of it, the drive thru Goshen and Blanchester is beautiful and the best doughnut shop in Cincinnati is along the way.
Another note– they only accept cash and check.

Love this place. It’s a little bit of a drive but worth it. If you love apples, pumpkins or grapes it’s a great place to go for fresh food. If you have kids they will work off some energy too. You get to go out to the Orchards and pick the apples that you like and while you’re out there try some varieties you haven’t eaten. Oh and the prices are great! Best way to get fresh apples for homemade pies, applesauce etc.
