What We Offer:

Throughout the summer and fall seasons, ACFM visitors can shop for fresh vegetables including sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beans, peas, melons, squash, zucchini, and pumpkins in addition to 30 varieties of apples. ACFM also offers other locally-grown produce such as red raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, plums, pears, and peaches.

Apples … they are what we’re famous for!

At ACFM, the apple harvest season begins in early September and runs through November. In addition to the large variety of apples we offer, ACFM also produces fresh cider from apples that are smaller, poorly colored, and less eye-appealing. To enhance the flavor of our cider, a special blend of apples is used. All apples are washed thoroughly before being ground and pressed to produce an all-natural product. No preservatives are added.  See our Apple Chart for information about apple types and uses.

Honey

Here at Apple Country Farm Market, we maintain our own bee hives to  produce for you the freshest honey possible. Our available honey  varieties change seasonally from apple blossom honey to pumpkin  honey.

Jams, Jellies and More…

On the main floor of ACFM’s Country Store,  visitors will find a large variety of delicious jams, jellies, preserves, apple  butter, pumpkin butter, relishes, salad dressings, Ohio syrups, Amish  noodles, and sauces.

Coldwater Cafe - Tipp City Ohio



This is my favorite restaurant in Tipp City and one of my all-time favorite restaurants.

The grilled chicken salad with the FABULOUS cucumber dressing is to die for. If you have room for dessert try their WONDERFUL, tea cake.... it's served warm, with a butter sauce ( I never said low-cal, I said WONDERFUL).

Enjoy!
