PRODUCT SUMMARY
Have you ever thought about where food comes from? Children will enjoy following along as young hosts explore each step in the fascinating journey that food takes from farm to table! First, learn about the variety of crops that provide us with food, and then visit an apple orchard to see how farmers grow and harvest the fruit. Next, learn about a variety of processes that foods undergo before they make their way to the store. See oranges being checked for quality and packaged for their trip to the store, and visit a factory for a close-up look at how tomatoes are made into other food products, like soup! Finally, discover that food can travel from farms to stores via many different forms of transportation -- planes, trains, ships and trucks. Part of the multivolume Agriculture for Children DVD Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.
