Come for a tapping tour, a sugar shack tour, hiking, taffy, a delicious pancake meal with local farmers' sausages and all-you-can-eat maple syrup, and live music (on select dates)! Our pancakes are made following a beloved family recipe with whole food ingredients. The pork sausages are fresh and picked up every week from Willowtree Farm.

Come join Pingle’s Farm in celebrating Easter and all things spring! This year we’ve got three different ways for you to celebrate. Treat yourself to Easter inspired and mini egg themed baked goods from the bakery, help the Easter bunny collect all his eggs in our Easter-ific Egg Hunt or enjoy a delicious Easter Bunny Brunch in the Pingle’s greenhouse with friends and family (or do all three!).

This year, Oshawa is celebrating 100 years as a city. In 1924, celebrations included parties, picnics and gatherings throughout the city.

Time: 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

In "No Mud, No Lotus," I explore the complex relationship between struggle and beauty, drawing inspiration from the enduring metaphor of the lotus emerging from the murky depths of a muddy environment. Through my art, I delve into the transformative power of adversity, highlighting how overcoming challenges and hardships, and remembering who you are, serve as the fertile ground from which resilience and growth flourish. Using a subtractive process, and a variety of media, I capture the essence of this metaphor, inviting viewers to contemplate their journeys of growth and self-discovery. Each piece reflects the complex interplay of darkness and light, chaos and harmony, inviting viewers to embrace the inherent beauty in life's imperfections. By showcasing the inherent beauty in life’s challenges, “No Mud, No Lotus” serves as a reminder that our healing and joy are essential, as we discover inner power, uncovering the extraordinary beauty and strength that lies within us all.
