Yaeger's Farm Market & Distributing Company is a family farm market in DeKalb offering seasonal produce, flowering plants, and fall activities. Visitors browse three greenhouses filled with colorful flowers, hanging baskets, and vegetable plants in spring. Summer brings the farm's famous bicolor sweet corn alongside fruits and vegetables. During fall festival weekends, families enjoy free hayrides to a hidden pumpkin patch, pick pumpkins from several acres, navigate a corn maze, and participate in family-friendly activities. The market also sells fall squash, gourds, and seasonal décor. Operating since 1967, Yaeger's grows high-quality produce on its family farm and takes pride in offering locally grown goods picked for flavor and quality. The farm suits families seeking seasonal activities and fresh produce grown nearby in the DeKalb area.
Admission is free. The venue says: “Every weekend in October a free hayride takes riders out to the hidden pumpkin patch to pick their very own pumpkin.”
Hours: Sunday – Friday 11am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm (Fall); Monday – Saturday 9am to 5pm, Sunday 11am to 5pm (Spring & Summer)
