About TOM'S Farm Market
TOM'S Farm Market is a family business that began as a farm stand in Bartlett, which still operates, and grew into this large market on Algonquin Road west of Huntley. The market is open from mid-March through December and sells its own vegetables in season, from asparagus and strawberries to sweet corn, tomatoes and peppers. Inside there is a full bakery, Cheryl's Cafe with a coffee bar and lunch, and a gift shop. Christmas trees and greens are sold at the end of the year.
Fall on the Farm ran September 26 to October 31 in 2026. Admission covered a 6-acre corn maze, a straw maze, a petting zoo, a pedal tractor track, a jumping pillow, a climbing spider web, pumpkin putt-putt, gaga ball, duck races and a playground, with barrel rides on weekends and Columbus Day. U-pick pumpkins open on weekends from early October, with a separate wristband, and wagons carry pickers out to the fields; jack-o'-lantern pumpkins were 49 cents a pound in 2026. A snack shack serves the activity field, and the market hosts a Moonlight Corn Maze night and Santa visits later in the year.
The market, bakery, café and gift shop are free to visit without a festival wristband. School tours are available.
Maria's Farm, a lavender farm in Marengo with visits by appointment, is about 25 minutes northwest.
