Strawberry Picking Field Trip
2025-05-18 15:00 - 17:30
The sun is shining and Spring has sprung, so let’s get out to the farm and pick some strawberries! We will be taking a bus from Friendship Circle and heading out to pick strawberries from the field and enjoy quality time with our Friends.
Important Information:

There will be taking transportation to and from the Farm. Please be at Friendship Circle by 2:50pm. The bus will leave promptly at 3pm and will return at 5pm. We will post on the Mom’s GroupMe with an updated ETA if we are running late on our way back.
All participants must ride the bus in order to participate in this field trip. There will be no option to meet us there.
Friends must wear their Friendship Circle (or purple Pajama Walk) shirt for this program.
These are working farms with real strawberry fields, so wear pants and shoes you don’t mind getting a little dirty. If the fields are wet, there may be mud.
We will be outside in the field for around an hour, please bring a water bottle and wear sunscreen.

Rain Plan:
We will stay at Friendship Circle and still have fun with strawberries by making homemade strawberry shortcake! Be prepared to get a little messy, have a delicious treat, and have some baking fun with friends!
