U-pick farm · East Moline, Illinois

Shady Knoll Farm

We are a sesquicentennial family farm established in 1863 currently owned and operated by Gene and Beri Dennhardt.

For six generations, the Dennhardt family have called this land home.

We work hard to keep the soil fertile and clean by using traditional organic techniques.

We currently raise 90 varieties of squash and pumpkins that we sell in the fall at our pumpkin patch.

At our traditional family patch we have a large U-Pick Pumpkin Patch, a U-Pick Flower Field, a 5-acre corn maze, a small children’s corn maze, and a petting zoo where you can feed our sheep and goats.

Along with a variety of livestock, to give your family a true taste of the farm experience.
