Purchase Tickets in Advance

Planning ahead will not only save you time but also money. We recommend purchasing your tickets in advance through our website www.alstedefarms.com. This way, you can skip the ticket lines and head straight into the farm’s activities, making the most of your day. 

Included with Admission: A Full Day of Fun

Your admission ticket gives you access to a wide range of exciting activities, and there’s no shortage of things to do:

• Giant Corn Maze: Get ready for an adventure in our A-maze-ing Giant Corn Maze . This year’s maze celebrates the season with an apple cider theme, where every twist and turn teaches you more about our Alstede Fresh apples and cider.
• Sunflower Trail: Wander through our gorgeous Blooming Giants Sunflower Trail, which is still in bloom and perfect for photos or a peaceful stroll surrounded by nature’s beauty.
• Tractor-Drawn Wagon Rides: Take in the scenic views as you ride through our 374-acre property. Our wagon rides offer a relaxing way to see the fall foliage and the farm’s landscape, all while learning about the seasonal crops and picking your own apples, pumpkins and other seasonal vegetables. 
• Seasonal Photo Opportunities: Fall on the farm creates the perfect backdrop for memorable photos. Be sure to capture moments at our seasonal photo ops, whether it’s with the sunflowers, pumpkins, or farm animals.
• Friendly Farm Animals: No farm trip is complete without a visit to our friendly animals! From fun loving goats to colorful chickens, to friendly horses and bunnies, you can meet and greet some of our beloved farm friends during your visit. No admission is required to visit with our friendly farm animals.

Stay for a Bite and Live Music

After enjoying the activities, stick around for some of our incredible dining options. Our food trucks are always serving up farm-fresh bites to satisfy your cravings. Try something from:

• Pizza Truck: Enjoy a farm-fresh pizza made with seasonal ingredients.
• Hen House: Indulge in classic comfort food, from crispy chicken tenders to hearty burgers, sandwiches or other specialties. 
• Coffee Truck: Need a pick-me-up? Our coffee truck offers hot and cold beverages to keep you energized for more fun and match the fall sweater vibe. 
• Sweet Desserts: Cool off with a creamy treat from our ice cream window or choose a caramel coated apple from Moe’s Sweets window located near our outdoor pavilion near the farm store by the front of the farm. 

All this is paired with live music that sets the perfect tone for a laid-back afternoon, whether you’re eating or relaxing after a day of exploring. Our farm offers live musical entertainment on weekends and Harvest Moon Nights hosted every Friday & Saturday evenings. Enjoy the music without any admission fees adding a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere to soak up the farm vibe. For list of performers visit our website.

Unwind with Hard Cider

For our guests aged 21 and over, a visit to our Ironbound Hard Cider Garden is the ideal way to wrap up your farm day (weekends only). Sip on locally crafted hard cider, hard seltzers, or try something new from Ironbound’s selection of wines and canned cocktails. Whether you’re enjoying a chilled cider or something warm, it’s the perfect way to savor fall’s flavors on weekends.
