Soil Friends Hard Cider Co

Such a fun place for the whole family! Took the kids a few weeks ago for cider & donuts. Had fun interacting with the animals, enjoying the drinks & live music. Kids had a blast playing & doing the activities that were offered. An amazing place for the whole family, we will definitely be coming back.

We absolutely love Soil Farms. The family friendly atmosphere is enjoyable for all ages. We enjoyed crafted hard cider while kids picked out pumpkins. We also visited last year to pick our Christmas tree and take Christmas photos. They have a really great selection of trees to find your perfect one. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Great atmosphere with amazing and genuine people! There's a very delicious taco truck, they have adult hard Cider to go with them and then you can have a delicious hard Cider float for dessert!!
Ps... don't worry there is Cider for the kiddos as well.
Ya gotta come check them out!!!
And don't forget about Christmas on the farm as well! Santa, Christmas tree, wreaths and so much more!!!!

I enjoyed my whole experience here. The Welcoming Committee consists of a very sweet dog who does a great job of making you feel immediately welcome. The goats & the other two dogs in the goat pens are all very friendly. The hard cider is delicious. The donuts are delicious. Wyatt weighed our pumpkins & gourds, he was very friendly and very helpful, too!! We will be returning & making Soil Friends our new Fall Tradition!

Such an amazing hidden gem! Friendly staff and animals, activities for the kids, tons of pumpkins to peruse along with food, baked goods, and hard cider made and sold on site. If you haven't checked out the farm it's a must do during fall.

My wife and I had her daughter share a Facebook page of this place with their apple cider float. We decided to make a family evening here with 3 of her daughters, granddaughter, and my son. The owner greeted us as we walked up and gave us the run down of everything. He was very helpful in telling us where everything was and directing us to a wheelbarrow to load up our pumpkins in. We got some food at the taco truck, donuts and cider as well as some apples for the apple cannon (my favorite part). We then picked a bunch of pumpkins and gourds and had a great trip there. We drove from over an hour away and are planning to come back before seasons end. Would recommend for a family friendly time for donuts, pumpkins, and cider.

Had a great time this morning! Their hard cider is amazing, they have beautiful dogs who greet you, the owners make it a point to introduce themselves and tell you about their pumpkin farm. Very well managed and fun stuff to do! We will be recommending this place to our friends and family

Kids had a blast with all the activities (playground, animals, zip line, pumpkin painting, Apple cannon, etc.) while us adults enjoyed the delicious ciders ;) Donuts were delicious and we grabbed lunch from the food truck on our way out. A great fall afternoon. Worth the 30+ minute drive for us :).

Every time we’ve visited the farm with our young kids regardless of the weather we end up staying 2+ hours. Good food, AMAZING donuts, fun atmosphere and a beautiful space to just enjoy being outside with family or friends. We’ve been to several fall fun type places with the kids which some can be $$$$ ! price points at soilfriends are great, not to mention what you do spend is supporting local and you’ll meet and see the family while you visit.

We went the other weekend and I was impressed with the hospitality. I grabbed a cider and about five minutes later was approached by one of the owners because he didn't like the way that the batch turned out. He didn't want me to drink it and grabbed a different kind for me. Most establishments are all about making money and it is clear that Soil Friends are looking out for their customers and producing quality products.

Home grown small business with a big vision for family fun. Owners are always finding fun new ways to bring delicious products into the experience. If you can’t have a good time here, grab a cider-think about your life a bit…by the fire…. With fresh farm donuts….and street truck tacos… and a friendly atmosphere…. Better yet-just go home if that’s you😉💯📈💪🏻

Best apple cider & hard cider! Great variety of pumpkins and squash. And super fun zip line and activities for the kids. Bring the family for a fun Fall day here.

This is my family’s favorite fall/winter place to go, HANDS DOWN!! The family that owns soil friends is unbelievably kind, helpful, and goes out of their way to serve you and make you feel at home. It doesn’t have the commercialized feel, which I love, and has entertainment for children and adults of all ages! Love it. 10/10. Highly recommend:)

We love Soil Friends! It’s been great going there for our fall pumpkins and Christmas trees and supporting a local family business. Our daughter had so much fun this past weekend picking out her pumpkin and seeing the goats. Also donuts were delicious!

I can't say enough good things about Soil Friends. Your fun changes with the season. You'll find tacos, cider and lots of other treats. You can enjoy them around the fire, while taking to a new friend. You can get your Halloween pumpkins and Christmas trees. You have access to the family farm and it's animals. The goats are so fun! You can walk the beautiful property, highly recommended around fall. You can even book a private party. My favorite season to visit is summer, for the fresh flowers. You can buy a precut bouquet or cut them yourself. The family is the sweetest and happy to help. I highly recommend a visit.

Best donuts and cider in the area and the best price🧡 love bringing the family here. The staff is so kind including the cutest furry friends! This is definitely our new go to for family fun and pumpkins!!🍁🎃

We’ve gone many times this season to stock up on donuts, cider, Carmel apples, and fried pies. All amazing btw.
Always a fun experience!!

We had such a blast here! It was our first time and we were blown away at how much they had to offer. Lots of fun for our nephews, they loved the all the animals and we loved the hard cider! Such a great family and we were so happy to support them!

A real hidden treasure in Galesburg! We had never been before, and decided to pack the kids up and head out. We were instantly greeted by the sweetest dog! Kids loved the FREE bounce house and other kid activities. Amazing hard cider and doughnuts. I highly recommend checking them out! We will definitely be back.

Outstanding local family farm atmosphere. We enjoyed craft hard cider while kids picked out pumpkins and apples to go.
