Pada tanggal 28 Januari 2018 kelompok serai Mejing, Candi Mulyo melakukan studi banding ke kelompok Putri 21 Playen, Gunung Kidul dan rekreasi keluarga. Kelompok ini berdiskusi dan tanya jawab dengan Ibu Suti, pendiri kelompok Putri 21. Mereka belajar dari sejarah berdirinya kelompok tersebut, sejak awal memulai, jatuh bangunnya serta bagaimana mengembangkan kelompok Putri 21 sampai bisa berhasil dan menjadi besar seperti sekarang ini.
Selain itu kelompok serai juga mendapat kesempatan untuk bisa berkeliling melihat aktivitas yang dilakukan dan fasilitas yang dimiliki oleh kelompok Putri 21. Dari kunjungan ini, kelompok serai mendapatkan motivasi untuk terus bersemangat dan tidak mudah menyerah. Selain itu, mereka juga terinspirasi untuk memiliki impian membuat kampung Mejing menjadi kampung serai seperti yang dilakukan kelompok Putri 21 dengan mengembangkan kampung mocaf di Playen.
Setelah studi bandung, kelompok serai beserta keluarga melanjutkan rekreasi ke Pantai Ngobaran gunung kidul. Ide untuk melakukan rekreasi dengan keluarga ini, muncul dari kelompok serai sendiri sebagai bentuk rasa syukur kepada Tuhan atas usaha pengolahan serai yang selama ini sudah berhasil menambah pendapatan keluarga. Salah satu hasilnya bisa dinikmati lewat rekreasi bersama anggota keluarga. Harapan mereka, ketika usaha pengolahan serai semakin maju, maka keutuhan dan kualitas hidup keluarga juga harus semakin kuat.
