Fall is the season to enjoy sweet, crunchy apples and delicious cider. But do you know where all those yummy apples come from? In Vrrrooommm 3 - Apple Farming for Kids you'll visit an apple farm in New York State. You'll follow right along with Farmer Bill to watch the apple trees blossom and bear fruit. It's fun to see all the equipment the farmers use, and you'll be amazed at how those farm-grown apples get to the supermarket or to the apple "factory," where they're made into things like dried apples and pie filling. And if you live in a state where apples are grown, you might even be inspired to visit an orchard with your family, where you pick your own apples.

Children will learn all about citrus fruits from this colorful informative video. The story goes from the tree to the table planting, grove maintenance, harvesting, processing, and packing. The information is very thorough but conveyed in simple enough terms for young children to understand. There is a nice mix of farming clips, school children, and music to hold viewer attention. The video can be used for farming as well as nutrition units. This is the next best thing to a trip to a citrus grove.
