Where do our apples come from?
Where does bread come
from?
Before farmers have any cows they have to have a place to
put them 30 pairs of cows and
calves can live on 50 acres
The grass has to be fertilized and
healthy for the cows to eat
Beef
Calves as young as 6-7 weeks can be sold for veal
Most calves are taken to the sell barn around 6-7
months of age
Beef
The cows are bought from a
stocker or feeder
They are then taken to feed lots or holding pens and are
then butchered
Beef
The beef is then sent to packers
Then to grocery stores
Finally to consumers!
Beef
Apples start by growing on trees in an apple orchard
The orchard needs good soil, a watering system, and sufficient sunlight for the apples to grow
Each tree should be planted about 5-7 feet apart in rows
Apples
Color: Watch for apples to change to the ripe color: from green to yellow, for
yellow apples; for red ones, a change from the basic dull green under
color to bright yellows and red.
• Seeds: Until it is ripe, an
apple usually has white
seeds. Then they turn brown.
Apples
Feel: A ripe apple will have a waxy
coating that makes the apple appear
polished
• Taste: When the apple on the
tree begins to lose its decided
tartness
Apples
To pick an apple, bend it upward quickly. If it is ready, it will break cleanly and not tear the spur as it comes.
Apples
Apples are then delivered to store. The can go from roadside stands to major stores.

To grow a tomato you have to start with a seed.
When conditions are within range, evenly moist
with soil temperatures approximately 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the seed germinates, swells
and cracks open.
Tomatoes
The first root starts to sprout. It grows down to create the root structure
of the plant.
The rest of the seed pushes up above the soil line, and the cotyledons become the first leaves that photosynthesize
nutrients for the plant.
The emergence of the cotyledon leaves usually takes about four to 10 days from germination,
depending on the variety of tomato.
Tomatoes
It takes about 65 – 100 days for the fruit to appear
Tomatoes
TomatoesDepending on the weather it should
take about 14 weeks for the tomato to fully
ripen.
Once ripened the grower picks the tomato and it is
ready to be shipped to
stores!

Instead of learning how bread gets to the grocery store, lets learn how to make our
own!
Bread
To make three homemade loaves of bread you will need
3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/3 cup honey 5 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons butter, melted 1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon salt 3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 oven
Bread
DirectionsFirst you must mix warm water, yeast, and
honey. Add 5 cups of white bread flus and stir to mix them all together
Let the mixture set for 30 minutes.Then mix in melted butter and 1/3 cup of honey
and salt. Stir in 2 cups of whole wheat flour. Flour a flat surface and knead with whole wheat
flour until not real sticky - just pulling away from the counter, but still sticky to touch.
This may take an additional 2 to 4 cups of whole wheat flour.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the surface of the dough. Cover with a dishtowel. Let rise in a warm place until
doubled.Punch down, and divide into 3 loaves. Place in
greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans, and allow to rise until dough has topped the pans by
one inch.Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to
30 minutes; do not over bake. Lightly brush the tops of loaves with 2 tablespoons
melted butter or margarine when done to prevent crust from getting hard. Cool
completely
Bread
Vocabulary words for making bread Knead – to work (dough, clay, etc.) into a uniform mixture by
pressing, folding, and stretching Coat – a layer of anything that covers a surface
Prevent – to keep from occurring

Enjoy!
Banana plants can grow quite large.
The space set out to accommodate them
should be big enough for the
dimensions of 7.6 m or 25' tall, with
leaves up to 2.7 m or 9' long
Banana plants are often mistaken for
trees but are actually considered
a plant.
Bananas
Banana plants like: Rich, dark, fertile soils.
Lots of mulch and organic matter. LOTS. Just keep piling it on.
Lot of nitrogen and potassium. (Chicken manure!)
Steady warmth, not too hot and not too cold. (Bananas are sissies when it comes to
temperatures...) Steady moisture, in the ground and in the air. The shelter of other bananas! That's the most
overlooked aspect by home growers...
Banana plants dislike: Strong winds.
Extreme heat or cold. Being hungry or thirsty. Being alone and exposed.
Bananas
Most bananas are produced in tropical regions: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama
Most farmers leave their bananas on the tree for about 5 months.
If they are going to eat them they will leave them until they turn yellow.
If they are shipping them to grocery stores the bananas will be picked sooner so that they don’t over ripen on the trip to the store and they stay fresh longer for consumers.
