Pingle’s Farm Market: prices, hours and what families should know

Last verified August 15, 2026

Pingle’s changes through berry, flower, apple, harvest and holiday seasons. Event admission commonly bundles Playland and a wagon ride with access to a seasonal field, while produce and food are extra. The farm is working agricultural property and does not permit visitors to roam outside the designated event experience.

The direct answer

Strong when a specific Pingle’s event matches your date; not a general walk-around farm.

Pingle’s changes through berry, flower, apple, harvest and holiday seasons. Event admission commonly bundles Playland and a wagon ride with access to a seasonal field, while produce and food are extra. The farm is working agricultural property and does not permit visitors to roam outside the designated event experience.

Strong fit

Choose it when

  • Families choosing a named seasonal event rather than an unstructured visit
  • Children who will use slides, trikes, games, straw play and other Playland activities
  • Parents who value strong on-site food, bakery and market options
Plan around

Important cautions

  • The farm cannot be freely explored without an applicable event or picking experience
  • Fields, crops and inclusions change substantially between events
  • Ticket, produce, specialty food and drink may all be separate costs

What the visit includes

Know what is included before you promise children a full farm day.

01

Published event inclusions have featured Playland, wagon rides and access to pick-your-own strawberries, flowers or apples according to season.

02

Playland features have included animal visits, a trike track, straw pyramid, slide hill, sandbox, mini putt and games.

03

Fall programming typically adds orchard, pumpkin, corn-maze and harvest elements, but the live event page controls the exact package.

04

The year-round market and bakery are separate reasons to visit and should not be confused with ticketed field access.

A realistic family plan

A smoother visit in three decisions.

  1. 1

    Start on the current events page and choose the exact product for your date; do not rely on an old Berry Days or Harvest page.

  2. 2

    Reserve the field or wagon portion early, then use Playland once the main seasonal activity is complete.

  3. 3

    Set a separate spending limit for picking, bakery purchases and concessions before arrival.

Conditions that change the day

Working farms are not controlled indoor attractions.

Accessibility

Event routes use fields and working-farm surfaces. Pingle’s asks visitors with accessibility questions to contact its events team before booking; conditions can differ by crop and event.

Food + facilities

Pingle’s is especially strong for bakery and prepared food. Availability and concessions vary by event, and outside-food rules should be checked on the specific ticket page.

Weather + fields

Crop supply, flowers and outdoor features can change quickly. Read same-day social updates and the ticket’s weather or rescheduling policy.

For a required mobility, sensory, allergy or washroom accommodation, contact the farm before buying. Crop supply, animal access and outdoor activities can change without notice.

Price record

Seasonal numbers are snapshots—not permanent prices.

Value the event as Playland plus the included field or wagon access. Do not treat picked produce or specialty food as included unless the current ticket explicitly says so.

Questions families ask

Useful answers with the conditions left in.

Can families walk around Pingle’s without a ticket?

Not generally. Pingle’s describes itself as a working farm and does not allow free roaming; public access is through the market and designated events or picking experiences.

Is Playland included?

Pingle’s states that Playland is included with its ticketed farm events, but verify the current event because packages change.

Is pick-your-own produce included?

Field access may be included, but the produce itself is typically an additional charge unless the ticket explicitly includes a quantity.

Is Pingle’s open year-round?

The market has operated year-round with seasonal closures or schedule changes; outdoor events and picking are seasonal.
