A long-running Licking County farm known for a corn maze and an 'apple cannon,' but as of late August its site was still using 'stay tuned' placeholder language for 2026 apple-season hours.
Lynd Fruit Farm operates at 9399 Morse Road SW in Pataskala, which the record places in Licking County — a correction from an earlier automated summary that had incorrectly listed Delaware County. Both u-pick and pre-picked apples are confirmed as available, and the farm’s activity list includes a corn maze, an “apple cannon,” and school tours. That combination of a maze plus a novelty attraction like an apple cannon suggests a farm oriented toward family outings and group visits, not just quiet solo picking.
The most important thing this record captures isn’t a confirmed detail — it’s an acknowledged gap. As of the research date, Lynd’s own website said “new hours posted for apple season - stay tuned,” which is about as direct as a farm can be about not yet having published its current-season schedule. No season start or end date, no days-open pattern, and no pricing are recorded here as a result. If you’re trying to plan a trip more than a few weeks out, this is a farm to circle back to rather than one you can pencil in from what’s public right now.
Beyond picking, the two named attractions — the corn maze and the apple cannon — are the closest thing to a differentiator in this record. Neither is described in further detail (size of the maze, how the apple cannon works, whether either has a separate admission fee), so treat their existence as confirmed but the experience itself as unknown until you visit or call. School tours being listed as an activity also suggests Lynd has experience hosting organized groups, which can be a useful signal if you’re considering a scout troop or classroom visit rather than a casual family trip.
According to the research notes, Lynd also operates a satellite u-pick location referred to as Blue Frog Farm, separate from the main Pataskala address. The record doesn’t specify what’s grown there or how it relates operationally to the main farm, but it’s worth knowing that “Lynd Fruit Farm” may not mean a single physical location — confirm with the farm which site has the apples you’re after before you drive.
One concrete planning detail does survive in the research notes: Lynd closes for several winter months, spanning January through most of April, plus December. That’s useful if you were considering an off-season visit for any reason — this isn’t a farm with year-round hours, and the closure window is fairly long compared to a typical seasonal farm stand.
Lynd Fruit Farm has the ingredients of a solid family destination — a corn maze, an apple cannon, school-tour experience, and both u-pick and pre-picked apples — but the actual 2026 schedule and pricing were not yet public as of this research, by the farm’s own admission. If a specific fall date matters to your plans, check lyndfruitfarm.com again closer to September, or call 740-927-8559, rather than assuming last year’s pattern will repeat exactly.
