Checked August 21, 2026
Goebbert's Farm at Pingree Grove is one of the big autumn destinations north-west of Chicago, with 2,158 reviewers, and its Fall Fest opens on 21 August.
Apples and pumpkins, in the autumn. The farm's own phrase for its produce is "fresh straight from the fields", and it does not itemise which crops the public may pick.
The farm publishes no hours, no prices and no admission fee on its own site, which for an operation running a ticketed Fall Fest is a real gap.
Pro tip: Fall Fest opening in the third week of August tells you what this farm is. It is an autumn event with an orchard in it, not an orchard that happens to run events, and the crowds arrive accordingly.
We list what we have confirmed. If something you need is not shown, it is worth calling the farm to check.
Our own assessment, scored the same way for every farm on the site, from what each farm publishes about itself. Not a visit, and not a public review score.
