| - I have lived close to Soergel Orchard's for almost my whole life and it's always a treat to visit. Whether you go during the Spring, Summer, or Fall, there is always something unique to discovery at Soergel's.
It's family-friendly atmosphere makes it a joy for everyone in the family.
The petting zoo is always fun to visit when I go. They have billy goats, a donkey, some sheep and bubba the pig! Believe me, you WON'T miss Bubba when you see him.
They have tons of activities for the kids like a water trellis to find river rocks as well as a playground full of cute, wooden houses and vehicles that the kids can go in and climb on... I'll admit it, occasionally I'll climb on the pirate ship to relive my childhood. lol
Something new I just discovered is that Soergel's hosts Arsenal hard cider in their back barn. They have around 10 different flavors. They give it to you in a to-go jug and if you bring that jug back to refill it, you will get a discounted price. You can even get a different flavor the second time around!
The main market inside is full of produce, pastries, cheese & meats, décor items, gluten-free foods, and so much more. You could spend hours inside their market finding unique foods and treats. You can even order daily lunch specials and eat them right there in their café. Their home & garden section has beautiful pieces of art and a lot of different arrangements for the changing seasons. My mom usually gets her seasonal wreaths made there and collaborates with the workers.
My favorite part of Soergel's is definitely there Fall Festivals. It's basically a pumpkin explosion everywhere and I just love it! They have them every weekend in the Fall. You can find festival foods like burgers, nachos, hotdogs, pulled pork, and of course apple cider. There are pony rides for the kids, corn mazes, pumpkin painting, and of course hayrides that take you up into the orchards to pick your pumpkins and apples. Only on Saturdays during their Fall Festivals will they have the Amish come and make on-location donuts. The line will be long but you MUST wait in it because these donuts are TO DIE for. They're the size of your face, and they are so warm and moist at first bite.
All in all, Soergel's Orchards is just a fun place to visit with a beautiful atmosphere. It's a staple of the community and something treasured amongst the people in it.
