So much fun! Our weekend adventure of harvesting wheat and learning about where the ingredients in our pizza come from was a HUGE success! Thanks so much to the Brays for hosting this awesome event; their farm was perfect.
FSA brought coloring books and rulers.
Our Farm Bureau agent helped kids plant their own seeds.
This is me, showing how the harvested wheat is turned into flour.
Grinding wheat with electricity was much easier than doing it by hand!
These are beef cows for the hamburger toppings!
And Nubian milk goats for making the mozzarella cheese.
There was a straw maze.
The sensory bin filled with wheat to play in!
Riding in the combine was probably the best part!
Caroline waits for her turn to ride and sports a “Thank a Farmer” sticker!
Finally, its Carson’s turn!
Is this machine way cool or what?!
The stalks from the wheat are baled into straw. These huge bales are being sold to the highway dept. to be used to keep dirt in place while workers fix roads.
All right, maybe the pizza was the best part! Yummy!
Pepperoni comes from hogs!
Lovin’ the cheese!
