Wish Farms will be holding our annual charity strawberry u-pick on
Saturday, March 29th from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. at our farm in Duette, FL.
With the Florida strawberry season winding down, what better time than for you to come out for a day on the farm and pick your very own strawberries! Our monthly strawberry u-picks this season have been so much fun and we’ve received positive feedback from the families and friends that have stopped by to visit.
Our farm in Duette will be open to the public for an annual charity strawberry U-pick with all proceeds going to Redlands Christian Migrant Association (RCMA). Pick your own strawberries for only $5 per flat, which includes the donation and crate costs.
In addition, food banks are welcome to attend. Charities, if you supply your own containers you are allowed to pick for free. (Charitable groups must present documentation of their organization upon arrival.)
This will be our LAST STRAWBERRY U-PICK OF THE SEASON so don’t miss out! Stock up on berries to enjoy all summer long. Click here to watch a video on instructions for freezing strawberries.
