Where Branstool Orchard is located
You'll find Branstool Orchard just outside Utica, in the farm country of Ohio. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
Most guests punch 5895 Johnstown-Utica Road, Utica into their phone and let GPS do the work, the entrance is signed from the road and there's a parking area once you turn in.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Utica itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.
