About Quarry Hill Orchards
The Gammie brothers acquired 200 acres of land in the early 1900s and grew crops such as lettuce, tomatoes, and cabbage, before deciding to grow fruit. The brothers worked together on the farm for 25 years.
In the 1980s, the third generation of the family were and still are running the orchard, with the help of their children, the fourth generation.
Cindy’s Insider Ohio Tips!
Quarry Hill Orchards is more than a fruit farm! Take a wagon ride to the apple orchards to pick your own, take a look around the store for some excellent produce, and then head off next door to the winery for a tasting experience. If you time it right on a weekend visit, you can even catch some live music in the evening.
