Review of Alstede Farms

If there was a "no star" rating on google, Alstede...

If there was a "no star" rating on google, Alstede Farms would get it from me. I used to go to this farm years ago and all was well. However, went back on 10/25/15 and couldn't believe how things have changed. Disappointed and disheartening. First, before you can even get to any pumpkin patch or apple orchard you have to pay an admission fee of $6.99 PER PERSON. This does NOT include a single pumpkin or single apple of any kind. Pumpkins were .69 cents per pound and apples just about $2.00 per pound. For a family of 6, that's $42.00 before you even get out of the car. I think it's disgusting how this farm takes advantage of families that go there. If your children want to do ANYTHING else, you have to pay a fee. So corn maze, corn pit, etc, there is an extra charge in addition to the admission fee. So before you even pay for any produce of any kind, your looking at almost $10 per person. The free admission on Mondays through Thursdays from the hours of 9-12 doesn't do anyone any good, so I'm not impressed. Go to Raimede farms people. Produce is just as good and it's $1 to get in. I ended up paying for 2 of my children to pick pumpkins while the rest of us waited at a picnic table. A huge waste of a beautiful day. Had I known about the admission fee I would have never went there.
