What is your favourite food? Is it garden peas, like Declan? Maybe you love juicy strawberries or crispy chips? We all have food that we really enjoy, but have you ever thought about where it all comes from?

Farmers are some of the most important people in the world when it comes to food. They grow and harvest all sorts of crops, like wheat, fruit and vegetables. They also take care of different animals to give us food such as milk, eggs and meat. This takes a lot of work and time, so their job is very busy. They start working early in the morning, sometimes when it is still dark outside and everyone else is tucked up in bed, asleep.

All of their hard work is definitely worth it though. When everything is ready, they sell it to shop owners so that we can buy the ingredients for our favourite meals.

Growing your own food at home, like Pip, is a great way to help the environment and to save some money. You might need to be a bit more patient than Declan though.
