Soons Orchards

“What a fantastic experience! We got to sample hard ciders and sangria, the bartender was amazing, we had a snack plate with veggies, fruit, meat, bread and cheeses, we got to sit outside, we bought some delicious chili to bring home… I loved seeing the orchard trees from the road too as we drove past. It’s a favorite place I’ve been to before and I’ll go back time and again! Sometimes limited parking, depending on how busy it is.”

“This place is a gem. They have an amazing variety of apples. The cider is so tasty. There is a huge variety of local goods: jam, salsa, sauces, nut butters and pickles all made in house as well as local bread. They have something for everyone, pet treats, fresh pastries donuts and fudge. Our family used to frequent the farm when we used to live locally. We just visited while in town today...they are better than ever!”

“We have taken advantage of this gem year round for over 20 years! Fresh fruits, baked goods like apple cider doughnuts & pie, fresh apple cider, honey, so many to choose from! Fun for adults with the “cidery” and drinks. Family fun with wagon rides and pumpkin picking in the Fall. Love this place!”

“I had a wonderful experience visiting this orchard. The staff were incredibly helpful and kind, making the visit even more enjoyable. I loved the variety of items they had available. There was so much to see and try. Overall, it was a great visit, and I definitely plan to come back soon.”

“My kids had a ball. Super low key orchard but with cool amenities like live music and a hard cider house. There's icecream and a grocery store with a lil market outside. Young staff but nice people and the Orchard was great, short trees for the kids to fill up the bag.”

“Family run apple orchard who serves not just the Public. They treat every customer like family. Pies, donuts, cider, apples, meats, candy, and more. They have activities, drinks, hay rides and plenty of apples to enjoy. Plan a day trip because it is worth it.”

“Don’t leave Soons without stopping by the coffee shop, so many amazing drink and pastry options. The strawberry cloud matcha was divine”

“We went from Brooklyn to Soons Orchard, and with traffic it took us about two and a half hours to get there. Parking was free, bathrooms were available, so that part was fine. There were only one or two photo spots with scarecrows or pumpkins, but I expected more. There weren’t really any activities or games for kids, so it wasn’t that interesting — we just stood under the sun. We tried the apple cider, which was good, and bought a gallon for $8.50. Then we went to pick apples. We bought a large bag for $35, but many of the rows were already empty because other people had picked most of the apples. Some rows with plenty of apples were blocked off with tape, and a worker followed us to make sure we didn’t go in there. That part didn’t feel nice. The apples we picked were tasty, but overall I didn’t enjoy the experience. After that, we took a hayride to the pumpkin field, which cost $5 per person (kids were free). For six of us, it was $30. The pumpkin field was dirty and worn out, with very few good pumpkins left. Most of them were hard decorative ones for Halloween, and very few were suitable for cooking or eating. In the end, there wasn’t much to do besides picking apples and pumpkins. For families who want to spend a whole day making memories and taking photos, this place is disappointing. If you just want to buy some apples quickly, it’s fine. But I wouldn’t recommend it as a family trip. On the way back, traffic was even worse, and it took us about 3.5–4 hours to get home.”
