Branstool Orchards. Our 38 acres of fruit trees are located in the rolling
hills of Utica, Ohio. The farm consists of 6000 peach, apple
and pear trees along with a small grape planting.
We are well known for our fresh and delicious produce. We obey
a pick-when-ripe policy, so all of our produce is picked fresh at peak
ripeness and sold the same day.
During
the growing season, our land produces a variety of produce, including
apples, peaches, pears,
grapes, pumpkins, sweet corn, and honey.
Our growing season lasts from early July until late October. At peak season,
tree limbs are drooping over with apples, pears and peaches. The pumpkin patch
is ablaze in orange with pumpkins of all sizes. In the fall, you can
taste test a variety of apples or sip some freshly pressed cider.
Recently, we established a new orchard by planting an additional 12 acres of
new peach trees and 400 more apples trees. Please visit our new
orchard page for beautiful and educational photos.
In February
2004 Marshall and Edna traveled to Bolzano Italy for an international
conference: The IDFTA
This past winter, Marshall attended the seminar on fruit production in Oregon and Washington to study new fruit varieties.
You
are welcome to browse through our orchard market where we sell
syrups and honeys to compliment our fresh produce. Perhaps you'd prefer
to take a virtual tour of our beautiful
orchard or read about our history. Make

us if you have any questions.
