Apple picking in Ohio is all about crisp air, warm cider, and orchard rows that stretch like a postcard: the sound of baskets filling, kids laughing, and leaves crunching beneath your boots. It’s the kind of place where I slow down, savor the season, and fill my bag with the freshest fruit I’ve ever tasted.

I’ve got a flannel shirt, a half-eaten cider donut, and an armful of ruby-red apples—right in the heart of Ohio’s rolling countryside. Who knew fall could taste this sweet?

"Ladders, leaves, and just-picked joy in every bite? This is Ohio!"
