Stade's Farm and Market

Welcome to Stade’s Farm & Market, nestled in the picturesque McHenry County, Illinois, around 50 miles northwest of Chicago. Our vast fields span across 2,200 acres dedicated to producing corn, soybeans, and a plentiful array of fresh fruits and vegetables. All our produce is available for purchase directly from our Farm Market, offering freshest picks for the community.

Our farm is renowned as a top pick-your-own destination, allowing visitors to handpick a variety of produce such as strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, sugar snap peas, green beans, peppers, onions, potatoes, leafy greens, and pumpkins. We boast a delightful apple orchard and offer nearly 30 acres of pumpkins ripe for picking in the fall. Our site isn't just about picking fruits and veggies, though; we provide an extensive entertainment area featuring a petting zoo, corn maze, giant slides, hayrides, and a slew of unique attractions.

Every year, we celebrate the harvest season with our grand festival, 'Shades of Autumn,' which showcases over 40 farm-related attractions. Visitors can enjoy pumpkin picking, special events, savory food, and family-oriented fun. Whether you're here for a day in the fields or to partake in the festive activities, we strive to make your visit memorable.
