A well-known North Hills market, bakery and cider operation with October festival weekends layered on top — but the farm publishes nothing we could read for 2026, so treat the phone number as the only reliable source of dates and prices.
No 2026 admission or attraction prices could be read from any source. No source read states whether walking onto the property is free, so free_admission is set to false as a conservative default rather than as a verified fact.
We should be straightforward about what this page is. Soergel’s website actively blocks automated access, which means we could not read a single line the farm itself has published about its 2026 fall season. Everything below comes either from third-party listings or from what can be reasoned honestly about a farm in this position. No dates, no hours and no prices are confirmed.
What is consistent across the listings is the shape of the place. This is a large market, bakery, cider operation and garden centre with festival weekends layered on top, rather than a ticketed attraction park with a shop attached. Multiple directories describe hayrides, pony rides and horse-drawn wagon rides on October weekends. Apple picking appears alongside the pumpkin patch, which fits an orchard in Allegheny County.
Attraction farms sell a gate ticket and design the day to justify it. Market farms sell you produce and let the attractions be the reason you turned up. The second kind is usually cheaper for a short visit and worse value for a long one, because there is less structured activity to fill an afternoon.
If Soergel runs on the market model, a family of four can plausibly do this as a thirty-to-sixty-dollar trip — pumpkins, cider, a bag of apples, maybe a few dollars each for a pony ride. If it runs on a festival wristband, expect the Pittsburgh-area norm of roughly twelve to twenty dollars a head. That is a wide range, and it is a range rather than an answer because the farm has not published one. Ask on the phone. It is one question and it decides your budget.
This is the practical trap. At least one heavily copied directory prints the farm’s correct street address with a 15237 ZIP code, which belongs to Ross Township several miles away. Put 2573 Brandt School Road, Wexford, PA 15090 into the satnav and check the map pin before you drive, because arriving at the wrong township with children in the back is a bad way to start a Saturday.
The site is in Franklin Park just off the Wexford exit of I-79. Easy access from the interstate means the catchment is the whole northern half of Allegheny County, and on a fine October Saturday that shows up in the car park rather than in queues. Arrive within the first hour of opening, or come late in the afternoon and accept that some attractions may be winding down.
Call 724-935-1743, or look at the farm’s Facebook page, which is where the schedule appears first and where farms of this type reliably post weather cancellations. Ask three things: which weekends the festival runs, what the attractions cost, and whether apple picking is running this year. That takes two minutes and replaces everything this page has had to leave uncertain.
October weekends, as far as anyone can establish. The farm's own website blocks automated access, so we could not read its 2026 fall pages at all, and the third-party listings that describe it are consistent about festival weekends with hayrides and pony rides but silent on this year's dates. An earlier-season Facebook post described festivals starting in mid-September and running every weekend, which is a plausible shape but not confirmation. If you want a specific weekend, phone 724-935-1743 or check the farm's Facebook page, which is where the schedule goes up first.
Two to three hours for the festival plus the market, bakery and garden centre. This is a large retail site as well as a farm, and the shopping half will take longer than you expect if you have not been before.
The site sits in Franklin Park just off the Wexford exit of I-79, which puts it inside easy reach of a large slice of northern Allegheny County. That accessibility is the crowd problem: on an October Saturday the parking, not the queues, will be the constraint. Going at opening or late in the afternoon is the standard fix.
Not published, and the practical bottleneck here. A busy retail site with festival traffic on an October weekend fills up, and the I-79 proximity means it draws well beyond the immediate neighbourhood.
You need confirmed dates or a price before committing. Nothing is published that we could verify. Skip it too if you want a big corn maze or an evening event — neither appears in any description of this farm — or if you are hoping for a quiet weekday, since everything described here is weekend programming.
Shenot Farm & Market is a few minutes away on Wexford Run Road, and the two are commonly done as a pair on a single North Hills trip. Shenot is the smaller and less commercial of the two, so the usual order is Soergel for the market and Shenot for the hayride and maze.
Unknown. No 2026 admission or attraction prices could be read from any source, and the farm's website blocks automated access. Phone 724-935-1743 and ask before you plan around a number.
Not confirmed. Directory listings describe October festival weekends with hayrides, pony rides and horse-drawn wagon rides, and an older Facebook post described a mid-September start, but no 2026 dates are verified. The farm posts its schedule to Facebook first.
2573 Brandt School Road, Wexford, PA 15090. Some directories print the same street address with a 15237 ZIP code, which points at Ross Township. Use 15090.
None appears in any listing we read. The consistently described attractions are hayrides, horse-drawn wagon rides, pony rides and apple picking, alongside the market, bakery, cider and garden centre.
2026 dates had not been published when we last checked. In past seasons it has run: Weekends during the fall festival season (per third-party directories; the farm has not published 2026 dates in a page reachable from this session). Check with the farm before driving out.
Admission pricing was not published when we last checked. No 2026 admission or attraction prices could be read from any source. No source read states whether walking onto the property is free, so free_admission is set to false as a conservative default rather than as a verified fact.
2573 Brandt School Road, Wexford, PA 15090, in Allegheny County. It is one of 7 patches we track in Pittsburgh Region.
We track 7 patches in Pittsburgh Region, 1 of which are free to walk into. The farm has not published a gate price, so it cannot be compared on cost — call before you budget.
What sets it apart locally: it has farm animals, which most Pittsburgh Region patches on our list do not.
One caveat worth repeating: this farm had not published its 2026 dates when we last checked, while 2 of the 7 patches we track in Pittsburgh Region had. Treat any date you see elsewhere as last year's until the farm confirms it.
