How Pick Your Own Strawberries Works
In order to maintain a safe social distance between our PYO visitors, time slots will be available online for pre purchase to choose along with the size and quantity of baskets. PYO strawberry time slots/orders can only be placed on the day before or on the day of due to the uncertainty of crop quality, availability due to weather conditions, quantity etc. Please note that PYO strawberries will not occur if raining, so we suggest you check our local weather forecast prior to ordering. Refunds are not be given due to rain.
As always, Stonehaven baskets are supplied and included in your pricing where we are offering a small( approximately 2 pounds) and large size( approximately 4 pounds). Outside containers are not permitted. A maximum of 2 adults and 2 children are allowed per ticket purchase ie. 3 adults require 2 tickets, 2 adults 3 children require 2 tickets, 5 adults require 3 tickets, 4 adults and 1 child requires 3 tickets and so on…. Extra baskets will be available for cash purchase in the field. Refunds will not be given for unused baskets. There is a short walk to the field from the market, where strollers must remain at the edge, because the strawberry plants are not stroller friendly! There is strictly no eating of berries in the field.
After providing proof of purchase upon arrival check-in at our new pyo counter (at the east market entrance), you will be given your pre purchased picking basket(s). We suggest you arrive well ahead of your timed ticket to check-in at the identified PYO counter, because if you arrive more than 15 minutes after your purchased picking time, refunds will not be given. We must strictly adhere to the assigned time slots, since each time slot has an allotted number of tickets to keep a tally of visitors at a given time in order to maintain safe social distancing in the field. This is necessary to comply with government social distancing regulations and for your personal safety. Families must stay together in the field and ensure that children always remain at your side. Stonehaven staff will greet you at the field and guide you to an appropriate area, where we respectfully remind you to continue to observe social distancing while you are picking/on the farm at all times.
