Very family friendly farm! There's a place to take the kids to play while the adults can eat or sit. I would definitely recommend!

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.

Fantastic place! My favorite place to hang out is OGB on the weekends, and trivia on Wednesdays and Thursdays is super fun too!

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.

The place is absolutely stunning. Overall, it has a very good atmosphere. Unfortunately, on Cinco de Mayo, they started a new cook. It literally took an hour to get a plate of nachos and a flatbread pizza. I have also worked in restaurants and understand what it's like to be slammed with people and have new staff. short of the food taking forever, the staff was super friendly. I'm quite certain we will be back.

This whole property is pure Ohio Country living MAGIC. The Crate room is a brilliant addition where we love to grab a cocktail and enjoy live music!

We came by in the fall to walk the grounds to soak up the ambiance and have some ice cream. Ice cream was excellent. Live music was being set up outside and there was a pavilion with beer and hard cider drinks. We walked to the goats and then down to the waterfall. If we had more time, we would have enjoyed listening to the band and having a few drinks. Since you are sitting outside, you can bring your own picnic.I would recommend this gem in the area and look forward to exploring it more

I have heard wonderful things about this particular orchard and I was excited to finally visit it. However, the reports were for a lot of their outdoor events. I was invited to one of their Barn buffet & live music events as my first time there. The description had mentioned having a heated barn, but when we were there, it still felt cold. The buffet did not have a lot of options for dietary limitations, but their chili (which I was able to have), was quite delicious. Being a barn, it's expected to be very echoey and loud from the music, so it made it difficult for conversation. When it gets warmer, I would like to return to experience one of their outdoor activities.
Great apples! Nice outdoor seating. A good way to spend an afternoon. Kid friendly. Recommended

First time hanging out by the fire, drinking a hard cider slushy and eating some tacos! All around a great place!

Great place to get out and experience Fall when the weather is nice! Great music, drinks and people watching.

This is, by far, the most expansive "pumpkin patch" place I've EVER been to. Instead of thinking of Hidden Valley Orchards as a tiny market, it helps to think of it as a giant experience meant to take a few hours of walking around and exploring - and focus on social connections with friends/family.We're talking a gigantic paved walking path through the farm, multiple firepits, a full-service bar area, an entire market, a small-menu grab-your-meal restaurant, a little ice cream shop, large children's play yard, and more. Honestly, it's gigantic.Be prepared to walk if you want to explore everything there is to see - but you can easily park, go into the market, get your veggies, and head out if walking isn't your thing. Be aware there's a lot of uneven surfaces for walking because it's a farm. I'm really, really excited to return. PROS:-I'm ridiculously impressed by a full-service, open air bar that had themed fall drinks. It was staffed by two people - and had multiple craft beers and cocktails on draft (not just cans out of a fridge). This bar opens out into a large, social-focused area with picnic tables, chairs surrounding fire pits, and more. -I'm super-duper excited to come back and do their U-Pick activities. Their apple and pumpkin harvest was too small for U-pick this year, but they still had quite a few available for purchase. I did, unfortunately, have to watch unsupervised kids smash some of the pumpkins in and jump on them (seriously, parents, pay attention. That's someone's livelihood.)-Firepits were "start your own fire" - but there were multiple couples snuggled up in blankets, sharing drinks, next to their own firepit. It was super adorable. -Late hours! By the time we get off work - and can make the drive - making it to a pumpkin patch by 6PM (most patch's close times) is near-impossible. Probably due to the addition of the alcohol, Hidden Valley Orchards is open until 10PM most days. -Parking lot is really close to the barn/market. This is great if you wanna grab and go. The parking lot isn't particularly huge, though, so I'm not sure if I'm missing an overflow area. I have to imagine this place fills up way more than the parking lot showed space for. -Looking at the website to ensure I didn't miss anything, I just realized they freakin' host cute events almost every night. This place is magical. CONS:-"Farm" bathrooms. I didn't explore the interior bathrooms built into the barn market, so those may have been indoor-standard, but a lot of porta-potties on the property. Normally bathrooms are a last-resort for me with farm markets, but with a bar on-site, I know I'd be utilizing them if I wanted to snuggle up near the fire with drinks.

Too busy to enjoy anything. Had to park really far away to get in, It is most definitely not handicap friendly. I am a disabled veteran and it was difficult to navigate with a cane.
