A Place for Families

For decades, families have come to our farm to pick apples, enjoy nature, and make memories. From wagon rides to U-pick days, we’re proud to be a kid-friendly Ohio destination rooted in farming and built for every generation.

Founded as a humble, family-run orchard in Clearcreek township over seven decades ago, Hidden Valley Orchards continues the proud tradition of Ohio agriculture today.
