Key Focus Points: Plant, Grow, Harvest, Transport, Shopping, Eat!

Planting a seed is the first step in growing a plant

The food is grown with the help of natural resources like sunlight and water

To harvest means to pick the planted food out of the ground

The food is transported from the farm to the grocery stores and farmers markets

We buy food at the store and save it in our pantries and refrigerators to be eaten later!
