Hidden Valley Orchards

Cute spot to visit with family in the fall. They don't have Apple picking, although there's a lot of fields of Apple trees you can walk through in the back. There's an awesome fresh ice cream shop and other farm/fall/apple related food sold in the shops up front.

What is the business model?This company is a shadow of its former self.Even the Apple Cider is not made on premises. The 3:00 opening is off-putting.

We attended a catered event in the barn. Food was good and plentiful. The barn is set up well but it was hot in there. Service was great. I was surprised at how busy it was on a Friday night. Get there early for good parking. The only thing is we are always disappointed that the store doesn't have more touristy style stuff. They have live music and a good selection of libations.

Hidden Valley Orchards is a good spot to hang out and drink but don't expect apple picking or a long time in pumpkin picking. For the most part, they have all the produce out at the front of the store to choose rather than going out and picking your own. They had just run out slushee cider when we went but they had pretty good little treats. The outdoor bar was great and for the smaller amount of people there it was open to get a drink in a short time. They had so much space for games and even have so much space for events. We went out to the fields to roam around the property and I would just advise to be very careful on the hill down as one of the members of my group fell and hurt her knee. They had goats on the property to go see as well which was interesting for an orchard to have.

I have been wanting to come and visit for a long time. I had heard that they have excellent pie. The day I went, it was beautiful however, it was at the tail end of the season. Food was not available, and the baked goods were scant in nature.I had to settle for some absolutely beautiful scenery and some beers. This is not a problem. I was able to try a couple beers from Lexington Kentucky, and also some Ohio beer. The grounds are beautiful and nice for walking around. There is a lovely covered bridge just down the way. If you are here earlier in the season, they have bonfires hayrides and more.

We had a large group of 40 women out for Name That Tune and HVO did a wonderful job accommodating us! They set up four large tables which was plenty of room for us all.The drinks and food were very good. And the service was amazingly quick! We had problems with this in the past, but people's items were ready within a few minutes. I had the pretzels and beer cheese and a cranberry margarita which were yummy. They had a lot of fall cocktails and everyone seemed to really enjoy them.A special shoutout to Marianne from Team Tune Trivia who worked with us before the event to make sure they'd be ready for us. Since we were a large group, they set us off to the side and she made certain we could hear the songs.

' today me and my family went to hidden valley to pick pumpkins place is awesome but the bad thing is the bees are awful!!! just awful!! fill feel to roll the dice on that one my mom had the wings she said they were excellent i had the pulled pork sanwitch it was good untill a bee landed on it and i chucked it

One of my absolute favorite orchards ever and one of the best places for some fall fun! My husband and I try to make it to HVO annually for a fall date day and were able to make that happen yesterday. There has been so many changes and upgrades over the year and it's only gotten better! We grabbed lunch from the snack shack-- a fried chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun with jalapenos, queso, and jalapeno ranch with a side of house cut fries AND a tray of loaded beer cheese (housemade) fries with jalapenos and green onions. My husband loved every single bite he tried. The jalapenos were obviously spicy, but so crunchy and had amazing flavor. I usually pick jalapenos off because of the heat, but I nibbled on these the whole meal. The fried chicken sandwich overall was delishhhh. The pretzel bun was so soft. I'm inclined to think the jalapeno ranch was housemade. The beer cheese had too strong of a beer flavor for me, but I am not a big beer fan. We ate on a bench outside and listened to some live music and enjoyed the sunshine. We also got some apple nacho samples and bought our fair share of baked goods. Fritters and donuts were BOGO that day! (hot tip: they often are on Sundays) The apple fritter is one of the best I have ever had. The apple cider donuts are great too. We also got some apples for $2.49/lb (SUCH a good price) and a jug of apple cider (not made there, but still local). Everyone we encountered was kind and helpful. Next time, we plan to get food from Dayton BBQ Co who now operates out of an old barn on the property. Their food looks sooo good.

We went for the blueberry festival and it was so much fun! The orchard is beautiful and there were so many different places to grab a bite to eat, a drink, or to take a stroll around. We got a fresh pint of blueberries and a blueberry donut and they are delicious. Can't wait to go back during Apple season!

Years ago I came here as a child with my parents to a festival and won a pet rabbit. My parents didn't think I would win, but I won on the first try. Oops! Years later, I came back today to the apple cider donut festival with a friend and loved the space!! It's so beautiful and would be perfect for hosting weddings or other events. The main barn is divided into a few areas: a market, a restaurant, and and ice cream barn. In the back they also have a taproom and tons of outdoor seating with string lights. There is a large playground for kids to run around and further back they have a petting zoo with mini goats. I was looking for the pumpkins they mentioned stop could purchase but I couldn't find them.We grabbed some donuts (apple cider and pumpkin) and cider from the express line and then went to the market to grab apples and a glass of cherry apple cider. The cider was so refreshing and the cherry was subtle enough to add some flavor but not overpower. I loved that you can bag your own apples instead of many places that pre-bag them for you to purchase. This allowed me to mix 3 different varieties in one bag instead of having to buy a couple bags of each type. I got Jonathan, McIntosh and Honeycrisp. We also grabbed some apple butter and pumpkin butter from the store, and a loaf of Cincinnati Chili Bread which sounded crazy to me - looking forward to trying that! (It's like a loaf of bread infused with the flavors of Skyline Chili).We loaded everything in the car and then took a walk back to see the goats and find the pumpkins. We found the goats but not the pumpkins - I'm nearly 9 months pregnant and wasn't willing to walk super far back to find the pumpkins so we turned around Then we grabbed some dole whip and ate that while resting. I got a pineapple cherry swirl and it was delicious. I can't wait to come here again for another event!
