Home / Branstool Orchards - Utica, Ohio Fall Activities
Branstool Orchards on Johnstown-Utica Road outside Utica has grown fruit since 1983 and is adding a pick-your-own pumpkin patch this fall. The farm market is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM and closed Mondays.
How do the pumpkins work?
Grab one of the farm's pumpkin wagons and head down the lane to the patch, open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. Every pumpkin is $8, no matter the size, and you pay at the market.
Are there wagon rides?
Horse-drawn wagon rides run on Saturdays, October 3, 10 and 17, from 10 AM to 3 PM. Tickets are $15 a person and include a pumpkin of any size, the youngest children ride free, and timed tickets can be booked ahead since slots may sell out.
Is there food?
Cake donuts are made every day the market is open, and cider slushies are sold in the market. The Happy Apple Eatery food truck serves Fridays 10 AM to 3 PM and weekends 10 AM to 4 PM, and there is a free play area.
Can the dog come?
Yes, if it is leashed and friendly, but not inside the market. Please clean up after it.
