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.
