- chicago_history |Goebbert’s Farm – South Barrington has been in the farm market business since 1948, George Goebbert started a roadside vegetable stand in Alington Heights. In 1972, Jim Goebbert bought a 40-acre farm in South Barrington and moved his family. Jim’s three children started selling pumpkins on the roadside in 1978. It got so busy one Saturday, Jim had to close the Arlington Heights stand, to come home and help with the pumpkin sales. The Fall Festival was born.
