Welcome to West View Pawpaw Farm

West View Pawpaw Farm is a small, 30-acre farm in Wayne County, Ohio, located on state route 3 just south of Wooster. West View Pawpaw Farm is owned and operated by Loren and Mabel Kirchner.

We currently have about 600 pawpaw trees in the orchard with about 250 of the trees currently yielding fruit, and about 20-30 additional trees coming into fruiting each year. The orchard is maintained using holistic practices including mulching rows with wood chips supporting water conservation and development of the soil micro- and myco-biome, growing deeply rooted ‘weeds’ in the tree rows to help keep soils loose and add organic matter to the soil, the use of nitrogen fixing plants in the orchard lanes, and no use of pesticides or herbicides.

We hope that you’ll stop by the orchard and try a pawpaw if you’ve never had one, and if you’re looking for a pawpaw fruit supplier, we’ll try to meet your needs.

West View Pawpaw Farm is Currently Harvesting Pawpaw Fruit

2026 Harvest Season is underway; watch for harvest updates. 

During the harvest season please watch for our updates regarding fruit availability.  We will take orders by email as fruit are available. (If you do not receive an email response, please check your spam folder.) Please note that cool, wet weather can significantly impact or delay pawpaw fruit ripening and availability. Pawpaw fruit is quite perishable and therefore we cannot ship fruit.

Harvest Season Hours of Operation:
Tuesday – Saturday: 11 AM – 5 PM, depending on fruit availability.  See our regular updates during harvest season.
CLOSED SUNDAY AND MONDAYS
