Alstede Farms Pick Your Own (PYO)
Please review updated rules and procedures if you have not been to the farm in a little while. Pick Your Own will now be open everyday through the month of November.
Please be warned: theft of product or services will result in prosecution.
- First and foremost, the preferred method of purchasing a PYO ticket is to pre-purchase them online prior to your visit. Each guest that enters the fields has to have a ticket with them that includes an entry fee.
- The best way to guarantee your entry for PYO activities is to purchase a ticket with a check-in time prior to arriving at the farm.
- With each PYO entry ticket, there is a produce container associated with the purchase. Guests are allowed to fill each container with pre-approved produce.
- Each PYO entry ticket includes a container, the value of the produce associated with filling the container, and wagon rides to and from the fields. You may purchase additional containers but you must first purchase a PYO entry ticket. Please keep in mind that if you purchase an additional container without a PYO entry ticket, you will not be allowed in the fields.
- If you choose to pick more than your allotted container, any additional produce will be charged at $7.99 per pound at checkout.
- A time slot is associated with each entry fee. Time slots are available every thirty minutes. This is your check-in time. You may stay in the fields as long as you like until closing.
- Please wear appropriate foot wear as this is a working farm and you could be walking on uneven landscape.
- Wagon rides to and from the fields will be available. Walking to and from the fields will be permitted, but not anywhere else on the farm.
- Outside food will not be permitted at the farm or inside the PYO fields.
- Due to updated guidance from the Department of Health and the FDA, Pets/Animals/Dogs will not be permitted inside the PYO fields.
- Outside bags or containers are not allowed for produce/food storage.
- Stay in and pick from designated areas only.
- Guests are not allowed in other areas that have not been marked.
- Eating produce in the fields is strictly prohibited.
- There will be no refunds or exchanges associated with Pick Your Own (PYO) tickets or activities.
- Please make sure you have plenty of water before heading into the fields.
- Entry to PYO is only guaranteed with the purchase of an advanced ticket. We can not guarantee PYO entry for walk-in guests. Tickets purchased at the PYO sheds will incur a $8.00 per ticket convenience fee.
