Field Trips at Twin Oaks

Strawberry Field Trips:

*Strawberry Trip $7.00 per person (including chaperones, parents and siblings.) Teachers are admitted free( limit 2 per class of 25 students.)
* Groups are encouraged to pack a picnic and have lunch.
* Field trips at our facility are most enjoyable for children in kindergarten through third grade.

How to care for your berries:
1) Keep the berries cool.
2) Remove them from the plastic bag as soon as you get home. Store them in a covered container in the refrigerator.
3) Do Not rinse berries until just before eating or using them to cook with.
4)Remove the caps after rinsing, this helps to prevent water from diluting the flavor.

WHAT TO BRING:
1) Sharpie markers or labels to mark students containers for strawberries or pumpkins.
2) Large boxes to pack student's berries or pumpkins in for transporting back to school.
3) Hand sanitizer.

Call 2-3 days prior to your trip with specific head count of students, teachers, parents and siblings. Groups of less than 50 may be combined with another small group. Groups are encouraged to pack a picnic and have lunch.
