We are sure that most of you have noticed all the building going on across from Canaan Middle School on Route 42.  A lot of people have asked us about it. What is it? Who owns it? When is it (whatever “it” is) going to open? We can finally give some answers.

The Orchard and Company is a family friendly destination that was dreamt up by Ron Winn several years ago and has finally reached fruition. The Orchard and Company features, not only an apple orchard, but many exciting activities meant to entice visitors from Plain City and across the state.

The Orchard and Company will open this coming weekend, October 2 and 3, from 11 am to 6 pm. They will continue to be open Saturdays and Sundays the entire month of October.

The Orchard and Company is hosting “Scarecrows for Charity” the entire month of October. Scarecrows created by local church youth groups will be on display throughout The Orchard. You can vote on your favorite after viewing them on a scenic hayride. The winning scarecrow’s creators will receive a portion of the proceeds from the hayride fees.

Besides this event, The Orchard also features a gift shop, bakery, “Pigadeli Cafe,” and tons of fun things for children. There is a pedal car track, tire climb, jumping pillow, and much, much more. If your kids aren’t tired after a day at The Orchard, they must be robots.
