We absolutely LOVE Stepping Stone! It is our family's favorite place to go. We get a season pass every year so the kids can play through the summer and fall (and as a bonus, it includes admission to special events and festivals). The playground is a huge hit--there's a large slide structure, jumping pillows, and plenty of smaller play options for toddlers. My favorite newer addition has been the fall corn maze--such a fun experience! After playing, the kids love grabbing a treat or ice cream in the market. In the market, I usually stock up on cider, preserves, and fresh fruit--and I always grab a bottle of Wise Bird Cider (so good). They also offer baking mixes, vegetables, meats, and more. You'll find seasonal favorites like strawberries, apples, and pumpkins throughout the year, and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. We make it a tradition to buy strawberries in May, grab peaches during the summer, and pick apples in early fall. Stepping Stone also serves as a wedding and private events venue, and I often see school field trips there as well. The owners and staff are absolute sweethearts, and it's clear they genuinely care about what they do. They're wonderful community partners, and it really shows. read more

A great place to go with the family. It's about a 30-40 minute beautiful drive from Lexington. Wasn't too crowded. There was a cute bouncy and playground area for kids. I of course went to pick some strawberries and there was a great selection as they had just opened for the season. They also had plenty of berries in their store you could just walk in and buy some along with some vegetables, fresh baked goods, jams and pickles, frozen meats and local dairy products. It was a nice way little afternoon trip. read more

We took our kids to pick strawberries at Stepping Stone Farm and had the best time! They were so helpful and Ally was such a delight. We also have a small business that sells freeze dried products and we're selected to be apart of the Kentucky Strawberry Festival event held here. It was amazing the amount of work and dedication the whole team put forth to make this event come to life. It brought over 5000 people in just one day and they didn't miss a beat! Highly recommend this farm for visiting and if you can catch their events, you'll be amazed at all they have to offer. We have only had their strawberries but they were huge, juicy, and the very best strawberries we have ever had. Five stars to Stepping Stone Farm and Ally and the crew! read more

Everyone in Paris loves the place but complains about the entrance fee. I almost gave it 1 star because of it but I am being generous. Adults who go to do the labor and pick shouldn't have to pay an extra fee, its absurd. Again, it is a VERY common complaint and I know many people who have stopped going very often because of it. Every time someone talks about Stepping Stone it's the first thing they say... the high entrance fee. Reed Valley never had that problem, liked that much better. If you can get over the extra fee to pick your own on top of the cost of the fruit, the strawberries etc are great. read more

Stepping Stone Farm has the best activities and store! The staff is so friendly. I highly recommend planning a trip to the farm!

This is the BEST place to pick strawberries, and their store is often bursting with great produce, baked goods, etc. The family that owns it is also welcoming and clearly care deeply about their farm, the community, and their business. They do charge an entry fee, which I understand for kids since they're likely to use the playground as well, but is a little weird to charge for adults who will also be paying for the berries they pick. We hosted my daughter's birthday party here last year too, and the kids and families all had a great time, but I received conflicting information leading up to the party as well as during the event itself, and younger worker came over and was pretty confrontational when they thought we were 2 people over the number of guests included for the party (we were actually under the maximum number, but the children from a family we didn't know had joined in playing on the playground along with my daughter and her friends, and I guess the worker thought they were part of our group). I plan to keep coming here for berries, but wouldn't have a party here again. read more

I absolutely love this venue! When my husband and I got married, we were so afraid of cost because wedding's are expensive!!! Thankfully, Ally was amazing and worked with us on everything from paying, to vendors, to even using some of Stepping Stones awesome apple cider at the wedding. It's an amazing experience to have such awesome people to help facilitate everything. From all other places that I have visited, Stepping Stone is probably the best to choose from if you're interested in an outdoor wedding in central KY! read more
