Before food gets to your plate, it starts out on a farm or in a garden! Farmers work very hard to plant tiny seeds in the dirt and water them until they grow into big, healthy plants. Knowing where your food comes from makes eating it even more special!
Those plants give us delicious things like crunchy apples, sweet corn, and juicy tomatoes. Other foods, like milk and eggs, come from amazing animals that live on the farm. After the farmers collect the food, trucks drive it all the way to the grocery store so you can buy it!
When you know where your food comes from, you can appreciate all the hard work that goes into making it. Farmers, truck drivers, and store workers all help bring food to your table. Eating foods that are grown nearby is great for your community and the planet!
