**About Pingle’s Farm Market**

Born and raised on a farm, agriculture is steeped into our blood. We are a family, first and foremost, and value the ways farm life can bring families, friends and communities together. Every day, we wake up excited to share our passion with others. We love seeing smiling faces and the awe on children’s faces as they eat an apple straight off the tree. Watching a family play together, smiling and laughing, ever present in the shared joy of our farm is priceless. These moments give our work meaning and purpose.

We take pride in creating a spectacular farm experience, combining traditional agriculture with exceptional farm to table food and unique entertainment, which provides our guests a “wow” experience. For everyone who enters our farm, they get a warm, fuzzy feeling and a sense of belonging as they make lifelong memories. Pingle’s Farm is an inviting, happy place where everyone is welcomed and greeted with a smile and treated as a long-time friend. The combination of these experiences become cherished stories and yearly traditions where guests leave and can’t wait to come back.

And we will be there to welcome them with open arms.
