Kids

This place is really cute and nice for kids — HOWEVER! I came for the hard cider, not for the kid stuff. This is one of the few places open in the off season that carries hard cider «Henrietta Stitch» is the name. IT IS TERRIBLE, and it’s $ 15 a bottle. It doesn’t taste like apple, it doesn’t even taste like beer. Between 4 of us we couldn’t even finish the bottle. We are by no means beer snobs but there was nothing redeeming about it.

Only place I found to have braeburn apples. My favorite to make apple pies with. This place also has the apple cheesecake (be careful there are walnuts in the strudel topping). They will make a fresh one without walnuts for if you are allergic, like I am. Great service. I love their baked goods there. Now they have hard apple cider they sell there too.

Every year as part of the Apple Hill tradition we stop in and get one of their legendary Farmhouse Apple Pies. These things are massive. They are bulbous and remind me of Thunderdome. This year Kids Inc. has a new product, their own Hard Cider called Henrietta Stitch. It is their first batch and it is made strictly from apples grown on the property. I liked it as I have found that with national brands they tend to be too sweet whereas this one had a nice apple flavor without going over the top. I treated myself to a delicious homemade Apple Fritter along with my cider and watched my daughter and niece play. Pretty sweet day.

This place has changed. My husband and I came here for years. Picnic lunch, delicious pie, bluegrass band, nice people and gorgeous view. After a few years hiatus we were super excited to go back. No longer can you bring your own food (and there food is pretty bad) and there is no longer music. We bought a whole pie to share because our party of 5 all wanted the same kind, and they tacked on. $ 3.50 charge for giving us paper plates and a knife, and they would not give us the cider sauce to go with it, even though it comes with a slice of the pie. I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem the same anymore. When you are being nickel’d and dime’d, it’s hard to see the charm.

Went there with the family last week. Loved everything about the place. One of the most idyllic locations I have ever been. Fun, friendly highly recommend going there.
So why 3 stars. Because I paid $ 15, I know silly me, for a bottle of their hard cider. Most I have ever paid for hard cider and it is the most bland and lacking in flavor I have ever had. I was so looking forward to it. Go to the farm, skip the cider.

This place was always a go to place for me and my family. The «Farmhouse» pie was always awesome. Not so much this year. We bought a ready cooked pie and a jar of their sauce. Always a winning combo. The whole top of the pie came off like a hat on your head. The filling was as dry as you can get. The bottom of the pie was so hard I couldn’t eat it. The awesome sauce we always pour over the top was as thin as water. A total waste of $ 25.00 and my time. I have always loved their pies. Always great. I have been going their for 3 decades now and have never been disappointed. I don’t think that I want to go back and take a chance of wasting my money again. Buy a pie at either Ables or Boa Vista or High Hill. Anyplace but here… Sorry Kids Inc… You totally failed this year.

Was not digging this place for strollers. It had a cute corn maze for 8 years and under. No horse rides. I’m not real sure where the petting zoo was. The pick-​a-​pumpkin was pretty sad looking… Green pumpkins, odd shaped, and definitely not first choice pickings available. I loved the free samples of apples. I didn’t like the port-​a-​potties. No place to change my baby. If it was just me and my husband it would have been better. Just not really good for people with babies in strollers.

Come for the pumpkins and nice grounds, but not for lunch…
Just spent a couple of hours here with 5 adults and 5 kids. The little maze is not worth $ 2 per person, but the big one down the road is fun. The food situation is pretty bad. It took over 15 minutes to get a hot dog ($ 3.50), a ($ 3.50) chicken taco which came on an extra small corn tortilla, and nachos ($ 3.50), and 2 warm Pepsi cans… I stood in a separate line for over 10 minutes to get three cups of cider in the bake shop. The lines weren’t long, just slow. Nice grounds, though. Once we had our food, the kids enjoyed eating and playing on the lawn. Will come back, but not for food.

This place is delicious! When I make my traditional trip out to apple hill, this is the place I go to for my pies.
I tried the cheesecake apple pie and the walking pie. Both were simply delicious!
But I did notice that some reviews were complaining about the name and I gotta say I agree with them. Kids inc automatically sounds like a place that has tons of things for kids to do but in reality not really. There’s a mini corn maze and a nice grassy hill for them to roll down (lol)

It is a great place, except for one MAJOR VIOLATION and for that reason I must share… and I encourage all of you to BOYCOTT this place to send an important message. I went there with my family and some friends, and after spending a lovely hour or so, and a bunch of money, I sat down to breastfeed my child. I was sitting behind a stroller and an employee asked me to COVER myself and my child. I said I don’t have a cover. She said she would bring me a towel, on a hot summer day. I didn’t have the words or confidence at the time, so I slinked away, shamed by an employee of Kids Inc. The employee told me I was not being fair to everyone else there. … so I had to stop feeding my infant. I wrote a letter to the owners asking for an apology and got no response. So now, and forevermore, I encourage you to support breastfeeding rights and not patron this establishment. Women do not deserve to feel shame for breastfeeding their children!
If I ever get an appology from the owners of this place I will take my comments down.

We always come here during apple hill season. The kids love the hill they can roll down on in the back. The tacos are good but a tad expensive, buy its apple hill. They charge you for cups if you buy a gallon of juice! They nickle and dime you for sure!

This is definitely my favorite stop during my apple hill trip. We stumble upon this place. Maybe because of the weather, there were only a few cars at the parking lot. The smell really attracted us when we walked to the shop.
There are many kind of pies to choose from, but they are the only one we know so far that sells french style apple pie (pastry crust). They constantly bake pies behind the counter and they are friendly and willing to have a chat with you.
We tried a slice of the french style apple pie and a cup of hot cider. They will ask you if you want some apple sauce on the pie, remember to add it on the pie because it is soooo good! We ended up buying a whole pie (frozen) and a jar of apple sauce to go. I will definitely come back here.

I was there today and asked the staff about a gluten free cake. I was stunned that they had NO ideah of the ingredients in this product. They said it was made at another place and had NO ideah what was in it. I and my party bought nothing from this establishment.

We visited this Apple Hill farm recently as it was one of the farms participating in Johnny Appleseed’s Birthday. It is a great place for little people and big people alike. They had lots of activities for kids, including pumpkin decorating, a corn maze and mini-​cooking classes. The farm has a large grass area with picnic tables that overlooks a lovely view. The day we were their, they even had a band playing blue-​grass music on the deck, which made the ambiance that much better. Definitely will be back to this family-​friendly farm.

One of the best in my opinion, they have a great selection of pies and an unbelievable cheesecake. My favorite dessert – Georgia cake. A little something for everyone is the apple butter empanada. Trying different farms over the years, this is my favorite places – highly recommended.

We had a horrible experience. we took our 18 month old son because of the name. they have pick your own pumpkins. the pumpkins were pitiful looking. the family farm animals consisted on one pig and six not so healthy looking chickens. our son is not steady on his feet quite yet so we brought the stroller pushing it around was a nightmare. it did smell wonderful. we chose to just move on to somewhere else. we just got the feeling that no one really cared anymore. this is a place for older children like 5 and up.

First stop this year… a great addition to our Apple Hill experience.
Big grassy area for the kids to run around, nice view, and a couple of crafts booths and face painting.
We had our picnic here, SIL got a Walking Pie for the family to share… great crust, a TON of apples, caramel sauce and ice cream… it was simply delicious.
This pie can not be beat!

Probably my favorite stop on our annual trip to Apple Hill. Love sitting on the hill and eating our dessert. I have fond memories of this place! I just tried the apple crisp with cider sauce and a scoop of ice cream and it is so good! Can’t believe i’ve never tried it before. Employees are always friendly too.

I have been coming here since 1977. They have the best apple pie and OMG! It’s huge! I have tried pie at other places in apple hill and none even come close. Today we got one to take home and cook, it’s almost done and the house smells yummy! If you have kids and want an «activity», maybe they could learn about nature, let them feel the crisp air on their face, play with a pine cone or something, and enjoy some old timey fun and pie. If that’s not your thing, go over to that other place with the pond and let them scream and run around there, while my family enjoys some pie in peace and quiet. :)

Love their mini apple pie things. I forget what it is called but its like a whole mini pie that they cave in the top and fill it with caramel sauce. It is full of apples and taste so good. When you walk in you can see them making the pies and other pastries.
When I first arrived at Kids they gave samples of many different apples which was nice. I was able to try them before I purchase.
