Docscape Sunflowers Lynd Farm Ohio Hiking with Doc Map
Map of Lynd Fruit Farm location.

Lynd Fruit Farm has thousands of acres spread around at various locations in Licking County, Ohio. They grow a variety of produce including apples, peaches, pumpkins, and more. They also have several other fields where they host activities at various times during the year. One of the favorite events is S’miles of Sunflowers. Six acres of 30 different varieties located just west of the main market at the corner of Morse Rd and SR 310. My girlfriend Shawna and I got there right as the sunflowers were in bloom in early September. The cost is $10 per person to tour the sunflower fields and that includes one sunflower to take home and wagon rides to the apple cannons and three apples.
