Stone Soup Farm & Heritage Orchard

I've lived a few miles from Oak Glen most of my life and Stone Soup Farm captures the essence of what an Oak Glen experience should be, but often isn't. Low-key and charming, with some unique surprises. Chief among them, the craft apple cider cocktails. I got a mule and my daughter and wife got a tasty, smoky Bourbon revelation in a glass. (Well, actually a plastic cup, but I'd drink either out of a rusty hubcap they're that good.)"Would you like some ratatouille crostini to go with that?""But of course!" (Best call I made all weekend!)Sit by the fire or find a spot of sun at one of the scattered tables. Walk around and explore. Go to the creek at the back of the property and listen to the water go burbling along over the rocks and through the brambles.We were there early (just short of 11 a.m.) so it wasn't too crowded. If you want a commercial experience, go to the Village or else where on the mountain. If you want something truer, go to Stone Soup Farm.

No customer services whatsoever. If you have any questions about your tickets, expect to be met with silence. Attempted to reach someone by phone (twice) and email (twice) for over a week... no reply.Two stars because we went last year and the place itself was cute.

This is a review for their Family Farm Day, we just finished a wonderful day at Stone soup! They have tours running often throughout the day, and you get to learn about their farming methods as well as pick apples and take part of various activities. This farm has always been a family favorite, we've taken the kids here year after year due to its beautiful scenery and very nice staff. The store sells awesome marmalade! The tour is relatively short, but very informative, which is perfect for kiddos, and there's very few people compared to busy weekends! The activities such as panning for gemstones and candle dipping are very fun for the kids, and I cannot say enough good things about their new children's garden! I highly recommend this farm, they have beautiful private picnics as well!

We had an amazing time this morning at Stone Soup Farm & Heritage Orchard!! our 5 year old had a blast on their magical tree house filled playground and Faith and her family and friends were amazing and warm. i recommend booking the delicious picnic if you can - we came at 10am and left just after noon. such a calmer apple picking spot than the other places. The views of the mountains are incredible. The staff is working hard there and so kind. We loved the ambience! There were other people there painting pumpkins and doing crafts. We will be back!

The farm is big, LOTS OF BEES around the dining area. I won't recommend eating there at all, the food is pricey and doesn't taste good either.If you are looking for a hike, then this is the farm for you. The trees are so spread out, if you want to get a variety of apples, you have to walk a lot. We went last year in early October, most of the apples on the tree are mostly gone. The only reminders are high up and smallWill try a different farm nearby for picking this year

They are the only farm I know of in the area charging an entrance fee. $5 per person on a Sunday.

My Boyfriend and I visited the farm this weekend to pick some blackberries. We had a great time! The staff was amazing! We felt like we were visiting a friend or family members farm. After picking we tried there blackberry lemonade and cornmeal pancakes (I believe). Both were delicious as well as our berries. I enjoyed exploring the Farm and admired how hard working the staff was as well as friendly. We will be back for sure!

We wanted to do something festive for fall and came across apple picking in Oak Glen. We def lucked out because we made it the last day for apple picking of the year due to the poor crop this year.The farm itself is beautiful with apple trees all around, a little garden, little wooden houses and a bonfire picnic area. All the workers were so friendly and welcoming. Although many apples had already been picked by the time we went, we were still able to fill up a small bag which came out to be around $20.I would highly recommend this place for families because there was a little playground, axe-throwing, u-press cider experience and a tent for doll making. There was also a food truck if you wanted to grab some food. Since apple picking has ended for this year, I def recommend bookmarking this place for next year!

Fortunately, my husband and I overshot our desired venue and ended up at Stone Soup Farm. We met one of the owners, Faith, at the Stone Soup Farm entrance. Faith is a warm, inviting lady who answered our never-ending questions and invited us in to see the venue. Stone Soup Farm is a charming micro-farm that provides:Numerous lovely picnic areasA vast children's discovery groundA store that offers yummy foods and unique productsWhile touring Stone Soup Farm, we were lucky to have the opportunity to meet Faith's husband, Tim. He is the other Stone Soup Farm owner. Tim was gracious to give my husband an overview of the land and advise on how to rid gophers without using chemicals.My husband and I look forward to trying one of their seasonal dinners.

Very pleasant family experience in natural farm setting. Plenty of shade and places to sit. Small creek along the back of the farm adds special ambiance!
