Each guest that enters the fields has to have a ticket with them that includes an entry fee.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li><strong>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.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>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.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>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.<\/strong> <strong>Please keep in mind that if you purchase an additional container without a PYO entry ticket, you will not be allowed in the fields.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li><strong>If you choose to pick more than your allotted container, any additional produce will be charged at $7.99 per pound at checkout.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>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.<\/li>\n\n<li>Please wear appropriate foot wear as this is a working farm and you could be walking on uneven landscape.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>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.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Outside food will not be permitted at the farm or inside the PYO fields.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Due to updated guidance from the Department of Health and the FDA, Pets\/Animals\/Dogs will not be permitted inside&nbsp;the PYO fields.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Outside bags or containers are not allowed for produce\/food storage.<\/li>\n\n<li>Stay in and pick from designated areas only.<\/li>\n\n<li>Guests are not allowed in other areas that have not been marked.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Eating produce in the fields is strictly prohibited.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li><strong>There will be no refunds or exchanges associated with Pick Your Own (PYO) tickets or activities.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n<li>Please make sure you have plenty of water before heading into the fields.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>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.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element gray\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h4><strong>Following these rules and guidelines will enable us to provide a safe and enjoyable PYO season for everyone on the farm.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alstede Farms Pick Your Own (PYO)&nbsp; Please review updated rules and procedures if you have not been to the farm in a little while.
