ABOUT:
Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Pingree Grove Illinois, stands Goebbert’s Farm, an apple orchard and pumpkin patch that offers a delightful escape into nature's bounty.
The orchard is adorned with rows of apple trees, from the pale green Granny Smiths to the deep red Honeycrisps. As you stroll through the orchard, the sweet fragrance of ripe apples fills the air, inviting visitors to pluck the fruit directly from the branches.
Adjacent to the apple orchard is the vibrant pumpkin patch, a sea of orange. The pumpkins range from small, perfectly round ones ideal for decorating to large, misshapen giants that inspire the creation of whimsical jack-o'-lanterns. The patch is dotted with children eagerly searching for their perfect pumpkin.
The farm is home to additional attractions perfect for all ages, including as wagon rides that weave through the orchards and patches, providing a leisurely tour of the property. Corn mazes challenge our visitors to find their way through towering stalks, and a farm stand brimming with fresh produce and homemade treats offer a taste of our fresh grown produce.
Throughout the fall season, the orchard and pumpkin patch become a hub of activity, truly a time to harvest family memories.
