We left Cuyahoga National Park on Monday afternoon (7/22/24) headed back to Middlebury, IN for a visit and decided to stop for the night at The Blueberry Patch, a Harvest Hosts site in Mansfield, OH. This turned out to be one of our favorite Harvest Hosts stays. It is a 130 acre blueberry farm with restaurant, bakery and gift shop, as well as a U-pick farm.
With these delicious looking berries, we can understand why there was a steady stream of people coming in to pick them.
Nicest gift shop we have seen at a Harvest Host site
Some of our purchases
We had a restful night listening to bull frogs and the resident donkey.
As we were preparing to leave the we noticed the Gorman Nature Center was about a mile away and had hiking trails.
Since we were going to be driving most of the day we stopped by there on our way out and hiked for a while in the cool morning air.
