Sometimes the smallest seed grows the biggest memory…
Licking County has been moving this idea along for decades, and we couldn't be more proud of our apple orchards. Pie, jam, cider, or just simply pick it and eat it the same day. We'll let you decide.
With an abundance of orchards to choose from, each one having a unique personality and wide varieties to fit every taste, it's not easy to make a choice. Our suggestion would be to visit them all!
Charlies Apples
Charlie’s Apples is a small, commercial organic apple orchard located in Fredonia, Ohio. They specialize in growing Certified Organic apples, as well producing hand-pressed unpasteurized cider.

Both apples and cider are available to purchase on location, or by ordering ahead for “U-Pick-Up” via their website.
