The Fall Harvest

Fall is here! The leaves change colors and the air gets cool. It's also the time for the fall harvest.

What is a Harvest?

A harvest is when farmers pick the fruits and vegetables that have grown all summer. It's a busy time for them. They work hard to get all the food ready for us to eat.

What We Harvest in the Fall

Many yummy things are picked during the fall harvest. We get apples from apple trees. Orange pumpkins grow in big fields. Corn is picked too, and some farmers grow squash and gourds.

Why is Harvesting Important?

The fall harvest is important because it gives us food to eat. The food is stored for the winter months when it is hard to grow new fruits and vegetables. The harvest helps people and animals have enough food to eat all year.

Fall Celebrations

Sometimes, we have fun celebrations during the fall harvest. People can go to a pumpkin patch. Families enjoy apple picking. These are fun ways to enjoy the fall harvest together!
