Stone Soup Farm & Heritage Orchard

Just miles away from the bustle of modern life,  Stone Soup Farm & Heritage Orchard lies happily situated in Oak Glen, California. The road gently loops around the foothills of Wilshire Mountain to reveal the charming historic farm with its cultivated groves and heirloom apple trees. What began as a seed idea has quickly grown into a flourishing family farm that continues to evolve into a modest ferme ornée, a style of ornamental farming that incorporates the beauty of a leisure garden with the agricultural operations of a working farm. The lifework is rooted firmly in reconnecting to agrarian living and preserving a heritage community by way of food, traditions and education.
 
U-Pick 
Stone Soup Farm is home to a 130 year old Winesap apple orchard that provides a unique u-picking experience to our welcome guests. Recently, we incorporated 3 additional acres of heirloom orchards with a variety of apples. 
 
Cider Pressing
Using a vintage press, friends and family select from a variety of heritage apples and begin to grind the pulp down until it renders a nearly perfect juice. All u-pressing is by sign up and a first-come, first-serve basis.
