Stade’s Farm & Market - McHenry, Illinois

We have been coming here for years. The Shades of Autumn 🍂 play area is a blast. Slides, corn pit, shoot pumpkins out of a pipe. The market has tons of fresh produce, pies, cheesecake, meat, and of course warm apple cider donuts. This is the first year we went Apple picking here and it did not disappoint. We have done strawberry and raspberries here but never apples. The staff could not be friendlier. Always a great day at Stade’s.

This is a lovely farm for a family outing and events. The fruit and vegetable picking was lovely and reasonably priced. We of course get to keep our pickings. There's a little fast food place, a nice cream joint and a lovely market with goodies and farm fresh products. There's a miniature train ride and golf carts to move people around if needed. We saw a children's park inside the area as well but we didn't go there.
Housekeeping things to remember:
We did see some apples picked while unauthorized and left on a bench so I urge the visitors to not do that and be respectful of the farm. We were also told that people were uprooting the Cilantro instead of cutting them. Please follow the instructions provided at the desk. Also, do not take back the scissors if provided to you and return them at the desk before leaving.

I am so happy we have found this farm. They have so many PIY veggies, apples and berries. Really reasonably priced and kind and attentive staff to guide you.

They also have an ice cream/cold drinks shop, attractions for kids and so much more. You can easily make a family day trip out of it.

OUR ALL TIME FAVORITE!
We have been to Stade’s farm multiple times. It’s open during the summer and fall season. My son loves U-pick, petting zoo, farm attractions and tractors. They sell farm fresh honey, fruits, vegetables and treats. It’s a great place for all ages. Come and experience the joy by yourself.

P.S. This year we went for vegetable picking. The staff were friendly and gave us a nice tutorial on picking. We got help with potato picking. The veggies were fresh and plenty. They had cauliflower, zucchini, peppers, onions, potatoes, broccoli and cucumbers for U- Pick. The pricing was fair. It was a wonderful experience as always.

This is one of our favorite spots to visit during the summer and fall. They offer a wide range of u-pick options, and their main shop is stocked with pre-picked items and products from local small businesses. Mr. Stade frequently shares Facebook videos, updating visitors on crop conditions and the best times for picking, which is very helpful. In the summer, they often host art fairs that make for an enjoyable outing. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend a visit – it’s a great way to support local businesses. Plus, the staff is always very friendly.
