Visit Brant’s Apple Orchard

The original trees were planted between 1980 and 1983 by the Simmons family who planted just 13 varieties. Today there are 27 varieties, accumulating to around 3000 trees!

In the early 1990s, the property was purchased by Roy & Debbie Brant, who expanded the orchard by adding a bakery and farm market. 

Throughout the 90s in addition to the bakery and market, more trees were added, and those Cider slushies and cider donuts that many of us have all come to know and love were introduced.

School tours, hay rides, and a host of other activities were brought in, and the orchard soon became the Fall destination for the population of Ashtabula County. 

Fast-forward to 2013 and the orchard has been bought by Brian & Jenn Diehl in order for the Brants to retire. Since then, the Diehls are working hard to maintain the family atmosphere and original values of the orchard while expanding and introducing new exciting activities for everyone to enjoy.

You can enjoy the pick-your-own program at Brant’s Apple Orchard. They have a huge variety of apples, Asian pears, and table grapes.

The family and I visit every year! Usually multiple times.. we always get a bag of apples and a gallon of cider – to go. Getting a cider slushy and wrap is always part of with our visit. The food is fresh, apples are the best and staff is super friendly. They also have special events (seasonal). There’s a small playground for the kids. It’s a really great place. We do a yearly family photo whenever we visit.
