With the fall season nearly here, it is only natural to want to go to fall festivals, corn mazes, pumpkin patches and all of the other fall activities there are this time of the year. For those living in or near McHenry, there is one place you must visit this fall: Stade’s Farm and Market. It started off as a home farm and has now become one of the area’s most popular destinations. Stade’s Farm and Market consists of a farmers market and an entertainment area with several different activities such as a petting zoo, corn maze, inflatables, zip lines, worship services and so much more!

At the main market of this farm, there are a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables for you to choose from. You can know whatever you get from here is in season. The market also provides many fresh-baked goodies, salsas, spices, gluten-free items, soup mixes, eggs, honey, pie fillings, canning supplies, gift items and more. In addition to picking out the produce at the market, Stade’s Farm and Market also has a U-pick option, where you go out and pick the fruits and vegetables from the farm yourself. It is a great way to get the produce you want and have some fun picking it from the farm with your family.

For entertainment, there are many attractions to enjoy all year. However, Shades of Autumn, Stade’s Farm and Market’s fall festival that is held through the fall season, brings activities only available this time of the year. There will be a pumpkin patch, hayrides, mazes, pumpkin cannon demonstrations and even more fun fall activities for the entire family to enjoy.

Be sure to come out to Stade’s Farm and Market this fall for fresh produce and a lot fun for the whole family. Creating family memories here will become your new favorite fall tradition.
