(UPDATED: September 21, 2008)
    A visitor writes on September 21, 2008: "I would like to offer a review of Lynd's Fruit Farm, in Pataskala Ohio in Licking County. Unfortunately, it's a bad one. They are not doing the corn maze this year and they have cancelled all their children's activities like the straw tunnels, the sliding boards, the corn pit, and the games. You should mention that on your site. Also, their customer service is deplorable. We went there on a Friday night to pick apples and arrived close to closing time. The employees were very nice and let us go in to pick apples, but 20 minutes later the owner came"
    A visitor writes on October 01, 2008: "I am writing in response to a comment (an unnecessarily negative comment, in my opinion) about Lynd Fruit Farm - Lynd cancelled the corn maze because of all the rain early in the season - the corn was not growing well enough for a maze. I don't think it's fair to leave a negative comment about a farm that was forced to cancel an activity due to weather, and because some people can't plan ahead, managing to arrive during operating hours."
    A visitor writes on October 08, 2008: "I would also like to comment on the person who had the negative experience. We checked their website and their phone line before going and learned in advance they weren't able to (have) many of their activities this year due to weather. Poor planning on a visitors part should not be the fault of the business. We had a wonderful experience and my sons loved that they could eat the apples right off the trees. We also went on a tractor ride and the gentleman was just lovely and really good with the kids. "
