Q: I’m confused, my time slot is only 1 hour! 

Timeslots are in one hour increments. You may arrive anytime within your time slot and stay for as long as you like on the farm. If you’re running early/late to your time slot, that is okay! You don’t need to call and let us know.

Q: Can I just walk in to go to the farm?

A: It depends! We don’t allow people to just ‘walk around’ our property.  We are a working farm & it’s not safe. You can visit our website to find out what events are going on this month that you can attend.  Each event will outline if you can walk-in or need to pre-book.  If you’re looking to shop at our farm market, you can come anytime. It’s open from 9am – 6pm daily. 

Q: I don’t see how to book tickets on your website. How would I go about doing that?

A: You will find ‘book now’ buttons on each EVENT PAGE & also on our homepage banner.  You can find all our events in the Event drop-down menu across the top of our homepage.

A: Children under the age of 2 are free and don’t require a ticket. 

Q: I want to pick apples on the weekend but I don’t want to pay for the Harvest Festival tickets. How do I do that?

A: If you want to pick apples on the weekend, you have to pay for the Harvest Festival ticket. 

Q: Can we buy pumpkins without attending the festival? Do you still have pumpkins on your front lawn?

A: We have LOTS of pre-picked pumpkins available at our Harvest Market entrance (beside the greenhouse) starting mid September and in the Harvest Market (in the greenhouse).  No ticket is required for those. These pumpkins consist of classic orange pumpkins of all sizes, gourds, white pumpkins, funky pumpkins etc.  There is something for everyone! 

Q: Do you offer pick-your-own apples?

A: Yes! Our apple orchard is 15 acres and has 10 different apple varieties! You can find hours of operations, pricing and what we’re picking on our website. 

Q: Why do we have to pay general admissions to pick-your-own apples during the week?

A: Our pick-your-own fields are part of the event offerings, which also includes entry to the playland and animal area, therefore a general admissions ticket is required for entry.

A: If there are no options, that activity is not offered on that day.

Q: Is the farm accessible?

Please contact our Events Team at events@pinglesfarmmarket.com if you require special assistance.

Q: Will you run the event if the forecast is calling for rain?

A: This is a rain or shine event! Please dress for the weather. In case of severe inclement weather (i.e lightning), Pingle’s Farm Market reserves the right to cancel the event. In such instances, there will be a rain date rescheduling.
