We went to Eckert's Orchard for their Easter celebration! We'd never been before. Everyone was so…read morefriendly and they had a ton of stations set up for families. They had things ready for all ages. It was nice that they had a separate area for egg hunting and they requested that the children take up to 12 eggs each. They also had a face painting station, an area to feed animals, craft site, and more. My little one also loved the wagon ride! The large wagon took people on a tour of the farm. I had no idea how big it was and how many things they produced. We definitely intend to return in order to pick strawberries and apples. It was great, inexpensive fun for us and I can see this being a family tradition.

Upon entering the barn style store, we noticed very quickly how the inside was clean and staff were friendly. We got a few things to try at home like the fudge and doughnuts. We also got some food: BLT, burger, chips, drinks, etc. There are a lot of places to take beautiful fall photos. We were 3 adults and a toddler, thankfully we paid a reduced price to enter the activity area because only the toddler did anything & it was too cold / wet to do most of the activities. She loved the petting zoo area & had a blast in the corn pit. I recommend going even on a day the sun doesn't shine. Be sure to wear boots.

There's something for everyone here. My friend and I visited on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time. We found a spot to sit and enjoy the atmosphere while sipping on apple cider mimosas & slushies. The slushie was my favorite for sure. They have several options for hard cider on tap as well as a variety of food options. We took a hay ride and attempted the corn maze. There's a store with so many different products for purchase. Apples, cider, donuts, jams/jellies, honey, spices, baking mixes, and so many more. I was surprised at all the things they offered. For family fun there's a play area with slides and other kid friendly activities. Admission and parking are free. You pay for any activities that you would like to participate in. A great way to spend a Fall day.

We absolutely LOVE Stepping Stone! It is our family's favorite place to go…read more We get a season pass every year so the kids can play through the summer and fall (and as a bonus, it includes admission to special events and festivals). The playground is a huge hit--there's a large slide structure, jumping pillows, and plenty of smaller play options for toddlers. My favorite newer addition has been the fall corn maze--such a fun experience! After playing, the kids love grabbing a treat or ice cream in the market. In the market, I usually stock up on cider, preserves, and fresh fruit--and I always grab a bottle of Wise Bird Cider (so good). They also offer baking mixes, vegetables, meats, and more. You'll find seasonal favorites like strawberries, apples, and pumpkins throughout the year, and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. We make it a tradition to buy strawberries in May, grab peaches during the summer, and pick apples in early fall. Stepping Stone also serves as a wedding and private events venue, and I often see school field trips there as well. The owners and staff are absolute sweethearts, and it's clear they genuinely care about what they do. They're wonderful community partners, and it really shows.

I of course went to pick some strawberries and there was a great selection as they had just opened for the season. They also had plenty of berries in their store you could just walk in and buy some along with some vegetables, fresh baked goods, jams and pickles, frozen meats and local dairy products. It was a nice way little afternoon trip.

We purchased peaches, pears, and delicious apples. The prices were reasonable in my opinion. The apples and pears were in a small bag with a handle priced at $7 per bag. There were probably 18 to 25 items per bag. I do not remember the price of the peaches but they were reasonable. The orchard was just past Centerville Kentucky. You crossed a small bridge over a creek to go to the orchard. They had a cider operation that was not in operation yet. This was a great day driving in the country with a beautiful butterfly field orchard as a welcome surprise!

I went in a few months ago and was disappointed appointed by the portions. This visit, I think I was totally compensated with the amount of food I received. I was unable to see the fish with the amount of fries I received. I did not the larger size of fries that were served in past but the new ones are ok. The only negative was that they put my bread on top of the hot steamy fries and fish. Overall, still a good experience. I would definitely recommend trying them again for the first time.

First there is no fees to do the activities but they had less activities because it is a true growing farm. Many animals walking around and you could purchase feed to feed the goats for a small fee. We enjoyed seeing the longhorn cattle on our way there and all the chickens walking around. We rode out to the pumpkin patch on a wagon pulled by a tractor. The pumpkin patch is really large and the ride was quite nice. We bought a small pumpkin that was reasonably priced at $4.00.
