Farm to Table Fresh Produce
Stade’s Farm offers a wide variety of Non-GMO fruits and vegetables, from farm to table.
Since the first vegetables were planted in 1989, our garden has grown significantly! Stade’s Farm & Market now grows about 120 acres of fruits and vegetables. The largest portion of acreage goes to our famous sweet corn. We grow 50 acres of the best tasting varieties available. We plant 12 times each season beginning early April and ending in late July (each approximately ten days apart).
This ensures a continuous supply of fresh sweet corn until the first frost, which is usually mid-October. Pumpkins take up another 33 acres of our land. We grow all sizes and shapes of pumpkins for you and your family to pick during our Shades of Autumn Fall Festival or purchase in the pumpkin yard west of our farm market. Strawberries are another main crop at Stade’s. We have nearly 20 acres of strawberries to offer for you to Pick-Your-Own, along with many other vegetables and fruits throughout our growing season.
