Farming History
Ohio provides many different types of fresh fruit from local farms. Because of the weather, Ohio has been a place for farmers to grow different types of crops for a long time. The Lynd Fruit Farm from Pataskala, Ohio started in the 1950's.

In the 1950's Lynd's 40 acre orchard was 6-7 miles south of Route 40.
A market was built there in 1954.
Billboards were placed along Route 40, which drew in huge summer crowds as well as the locals.
The market became famous for "All You Can Drink Cider for 10¢."
In the 1960's the farmers decided they needed to expand their production.
The Farmers started The Pick Your Own Apple program.
In the late 1960's Interstate 70 was opened up and Route 40 became a less populated. Because of this less people came to get their seasonal fruit and cider.
