Program Description: Pawpaw trees have been hiding right here in Ohio’s backyard for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until 2009 that the pawpaw was named Ohio’s native state fruit. As we venture “way down yonder” to treasure hunt for ripe pawpaw fruits, we’ll explore the history, science, and lore of the “Ohio Banana.”
What to Expect: This is an educational experience.
- Program runs rain or shine.
- Restrooms are available at the start and end of the program. Restrooms are not available on the trails.
What to Wear: As we’ll be crossing a creek and searching for pawpaw off-trail, hiking shoes/boots and long pants are strongly advised.
Where to Meet: Registered participants will meet at the Creekside Barn at our Long Branch Farm & Trails location. (6926 Gaynor Rd, Goshen, OH 45122)
Cost: Ticket fees include daily admission.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I get to taste pawpaw? Yes, we’ll have samples of prime ripe fruit for you to try at the end of the program.
Do I get to take home any pawpaw fruit? This pawpaw hunting experience is primarily educational. Depending upon the harvest, we may be able to share a small amount of fruit with each participant.
