"Shades of Autumn" is the annual Fall Festival at Stade's Farm and Market. Located in McHenry County in northern Illinois, Shades of Autumn is a great place to bring the whole family to enjoy nature's bounty, plus great entertainment, during the most beautiful time of the year. During Shades of Autumn you can experience a day on the farm filled with family fun.

Stade's Farm and Market has been hosting this fall festival since 1995. Not only are pumpkins waiting to be picked out in the patch, the hay ride back and forth is fun, too. In our petting zoo, you can play with some of our four-legged friends. We have mazes in which to test your skills, and the pumpkin train is a big hit with the little ones. The pumpkin cannon demonstrations are a "blast" to watch while enjoying some of our home-cooked food. (Did we mention that we serve home-cooked food?) Here at Shades of Autumn we are more than able to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings, as well as serving up some lunch. Our farm market is stocked full with in season fresh picked produce and all the fall decorations you might be looking for.

Every Sunday morning during the Shades of Autumn festival, we offer an open-air worship service with praise music. These special services are held at 10:00 am and are led by different local churches.

Shades of Autumn has proven to be a wonderful fall tradition for many families ... come and make it a part of yours!
