Irons Fruit Farm

A hay wagon rolls you out to the pumpkin patch, where you pick your own and pay by the pound on the way back. Irons Fruit Farm is an old-school u-pick operation outside Cincinnati, and come fall it draws families who treat the whole afternoon as the event. The apple cider alone is reason to linger at the main building after. A small tip: if your toddler proves uncooperative, the pumpkins near checkout have no idea.
