of meaningful partnerships in support of education and healthy living.
Farm Grown agriculture magazine for kids is published by the Fresno Grizzlies Community Fund, 1800

GET INVOLVED!
Colby, 11
Sierra 4-H
What projects/activities are you

involved in?
I show beef and sheep for my 4-H
club.
What made you want to be a part
of 4-H?
My older brother and sister showed
livestock and I enjoy working with
the cattle, so I always looked forward
to being able to show myself when I

reached the right age.
What would you say to kids who are
thinking about becoming involved
in FFA or 4-H?
They are both great organizations! By
being involved you learn responsibility,
leadership skills, how to market animals, and a lot of other valuable skills.
Madison, 12
Palo Verde 4-H

involved in?
I am involved in a lot of different
aspects of 4-H. My projects include:
raising my sheep and 2 dairy heifers,
poultry, sewing and jewelry making. I
am also the reporter of my club.
of 4-H?
Several of my family members were a
part of 4-H when they were younger,
including my mom and grandma, so I

knew I wanted to give it a try.
in FFA or 4-H?
Join 4-H and get as involved as you
can. There is something for everyone
and you learn so much!
Nolan, 13
Reedley 4-H
involved in?
I have been involved in the swine,
equine, beef, horticulture, archery,
outdoor adventure and community
service projects for 4-H this year. I
am also an officer in my club and the
junior swine leader. Th is past year, I
participated in presentation day and
took my Japanese Internment Camp
documentary all the way to the state
level, where I received a gold medal.
I am also very involved in Boy Scouts
and activities at school.
12

of 4-H?
I chose to be a part of 4-H when I
moved to a new county five years ago.
I wanted to participate in agricultural
activities and to be more involved in
the community.
in FFA or 4-H?
Go to a 4-H meeting and check out
everything that is available; there is
something for everyone!
Aaron, 18
Hanford FFA
involved in?
I have been on the Hanford Agriculture
Mechanics team for three years and enjoy
building projects in the school shop.
of FFA?
I wanted to join FFA because it was
a welcoming environment. Being in-
volved in FFA gives you the chance to

meet people and be a part of different
groups and activities.
in FFA or 4-H?
I would say join FFA and just give it
a try. Most likely there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Danielle , 16
Golden Valley FFA

What projects are you involved in?
I joined 4-H in junior high and was
involved in swine, arts & crafts, knitting,
sewing, and cooking. Now I am a senior
in high school and still show swine and
am involved in the horticulture department. I also compete in several speaking contests all over California. I am
currently the vice-president of my FFA
chapter and the president of the Merced/
Mariposa Section.
of FFA?
After being involved with 4-H as an 8th
grader, I decided to join FFA in high
school to further feed my desire to learn
about the agricultural industry. I saw a
close-knit group of friends that resulted
from being in FFA, and as a freshman

new to the high school scene, I wanted
that same genuine comfort during my
high school years.
in FFA or 4-H?
I urge you to take that next step and
learn more about either program. Both
are so instrumental to not only the
industry of agriculture, but shaping the
youth of our nation into leaders. Through
both, I have made so many friends from
all over the state and nation. The FFA
and 4-H opens their arms to anyone who
is interested and will help you reach your
full potential.
Leana, 16
Fowler FFA
What projects are you involved in?

I am involved in raising sheep for the
Big Fresno Fair. I am also the vice
president of the Fowler FFA chapter
and am on the color guard and track &
field teams.
of FFA?
I wanted to be a part of FFA because
I knew it was a way to get out of my
comfort zone with business and public
speaking opportunities. I also thought
13
it was a great way to learn about livestock since I want to be a large animal
veterinarian.
in FFA or 4-H?
I would say it is one of those learning experiences you dont want to miss out on
or regret not doing. This is your chance
to learn anything about horticulture,
livestock or any other projects that 4-H
and FFA have to offer.

Whats
for dinner,
Parker?
by Leah Bigham
Illustrated by John Acosta
At the end of the day Parker is anxious to get home and tell
his mom about what he has learned. As soon as the school
bell rings, he shoves his books into his bag and races for the
bus. Eddie the Owl is saving him a seat.
Its time for class to start and Parker sits at his desk
wondering what he gets to learn about today. Parker likes
coming to school.
The bus engine roars loudly and the hot summer air blows
against Parkers fur when he smells something stinky.
Peeeeyooo! Parker covers his nose and holds his breath.
Whats that smell?
Good morning, class! Today well be learning about the

five food groups, says Ms. Hall. Do you think you can
name one of them?
Eddie the Owl fans the air away from his face with his large
wings and the children erupt into laughter, pointing
at each other.
Parker thinks long and hard and then he raises a paw into
the air. He waits patiently and quietly to be
called on. Thats easy, Ms. Hall, he
answers. Berries are one of the food
groups.
The bus drivers voice comes

over the speaker. Boys and
girls, if you look off to the left,
you will see whats causing that
smell, he told them. Those are
dairy cows and they produce milk.
The class giggles. Well, berries arent

one of the food groups, but they do
belong to the fruit category. She holds
up a MyPlate graphic and points to
the fruit group. So, berries are a very
healthy food choice, Parker.
Ms. Hall says dairy is one of the five

food groups! Parker tells Eddie. Then he
covers his nose again. Yuck! Im glad milk
doesnt smell like that.
Ms. Hall explains what else goes into a

healthy meal. Parker listens closely and
scribbles down some notes at his desk.

do! He drops the donuts into the cart and swooshes

down another aisle.
No, Eddie! Parker exclaims. Donuts dont belong in any
of the food groups! Parker takes the donuts out of the
basket and replaces them with the peaches.
ut
s
Eddie returns with a six-pack of sodas and perches

himself on the edge of the cart. Parker takes the sodas.
Eddddiiieeee! Theres too much sugar in soda! Lets drink
milk with our dinner tonight instead.
Do
n
Still in the produce department, Parker holds up a bag of

Central Valley-grown asparagus. This should go with the
chicken you chose for dinner, Mom. Parker places the
asparagus in the cart and looks over the other items. Lets
see. We have fruits, veggies, dairy, and protein. What was
the last food group? Parker checks his notebook. Thats
rightwere missing grains!
After selecting a loaf of whole grain bread, Parker checks
his notes one last time. I think thats it, Mom, he says.
Now we have all five food groups. Lets go home and eat!
When they get home, Parkers mother is waiting for them at

the door. Parker, I have to go to the grocery store. Would
you and Eddie like to come?
On the way home, Parkers mom points at an orchard on

the side of the road. Look over there, Parker. Those are
peach trees.
Sure! Maybe I can help you pick out some stuff for
dinner and show you what I learned in class today.
Parker grabs his notebook and follows his mom to the
car. Eddie is close behind.
Did our peaches grow on those trees? Parker asks.

They could have, his mom answered. After all, they are
a product of the Central Valley. Why, just today,
youve seen where milk is produced and
where peaches are grown. Keep your eyes
open! You may also see farms that grow
strawberries, tomatoes, almonds, grapes,
oranges, olives, and much more.
At the store, Parker and his mom head to the produce

department pushing a grocery cart. Today I learned
that you should fill half of your plate with fruits and
vegetables, Mom. Like these peaches! Maybe we should
have sliced peaches and yogurt for dessert instead of
chocolate pie.
Parker and Eddie look out the

windows, wondering what
they will see next. I am
thankful for all of the food
we have to choose from,
Parker realizes aloud. Im
glad we live in the San
Joaquin Valley.
Thats a great idea, Parker! Go ahead and bag up a few for

us to take home.
Parker reaches for a peach and notices a little white sticker that
says Product of California. What does this mean, Mom?
Parkers mom explains, These peaches were grown in the
Central Valley.
So is milk! he says. Parker tells his mother about the
dairy cows he saw on the way home.
Me too, hoots Eddie the Owl.

When they get home, Parker asks to
help make dinner. He and Eddie wash
their hands, put on their aprons, and
wait for instructions.
As Parker finishes his story, Eddie the Owl swoops into

the produce department holding a package of donuts
in his beak. I couldnt find any mice, but these should

Push-ups? I thought this was school, Parker questions.
You two clean the chicken, Parkers mom says. Ill cut up
the asparagus.
It is. Im your P.E. teacher. Now drop and give me 20 pushups, Parker! Eddie blows a whistle.
Parker looks at the chicken and then he looks at Eddie the

Owl. He grabs the chicken between his paws and it slips
up into the air. Eeeeeew, Parker says. Its slimy! Eddie
tries to catch it, but it slips out of his wings, too. Parker and
Eddie run around the kitchen to keep the chicken from
falling on the floor, but its too slippery.
Parker falls to the ground and begins counting, one...two...

three...
When Parker finally finishes he is out of breath. Eddie flies
to the garage and grabs a jump rope.
Finally they get it back on the counter. Now what? Parker

asks.
OK, Parker, now give me 40 jumps.

One...two...three... Parker almost finishes when he gets
tangled up in the rope and falls to the ground.
I think you have to take that stuff out, Eddie says while
keeping his distance and pointing at the chicken. Parker
peers inside.
Eddie blows the whistle. Start again!
I do? Parker holds on to the chicken and

reaches inside. His paw gets stuck and he quickly
waves his arm back and forth until the chicken
slides off the end of his arm and almost hits
Eddie in the face.
When Parker finishes, Eddie puts the jump

rope away and comes back with a baseball, a
bat, and two ball caps.
Yippeee, exclaims Parker. Baseball is
my favorite!
Eddie ducks and feathers

fly everywhere. The
chicken smacks up
against the wall
and slithers to the
ground.
Eddie pitches the ball and

Parker smacks it with the bat.
Its a home run, yells Eddie.
Parker runs the bases and does a
victory dance on home plate.
Boys, dinner is ready, they hear Parkers
mom call from the kitchen. You can finish
playing ball after you eat.
Parker races to pick

up the chicken
before his mom
sees. He grabs it
by the wings, slaps
it on the counter
and sprays it off with
the nozzle from the sink. Parker and Eddie are
too busy laughing to realize that Parker is soaking his mom
with water.
The next morning, Parker is excited to see

Ms. Hall. When he gets to class, he stops at
her desk. Guess what, Ms. Hall? I helped my
mom cook dinner last night and we had everything
that you said we should. And you know what? Some of
the food we ate was grown right here in the Central Valley!
Ms. Hall smiles. Im very proud of you, Parker! You get an A+
for your healthy lifestyle this week. Keep up the good work!
Parkers mom stood with her hands on her hips. You two
are making a big mess. Why dont you go outside and play?
Ill finish making dinner myself.
Parker walks back to his desk, smiling, sits down and

daydreams about what hes going to make for dinner tonight.
Cmon, Eddie! Parker says and they race to the yard.
The End
Hey, Parker, I have an idea, Eddie suggests. Why dont

you pretend to be a student, and Ill be your teacher?

snicker.

Pollinators
A pollinator helps plants make
the fruit, vegetables, and nuts
that we eat. Most people know
that bees are pollinators, but
did you know theyre not the
only ones? Other animals, like
hummingbirds, butterflies,
and even moths are also
pollinators. About 75% of all
produce is pollinated with the
help of these hard working
animals. When honeybees
P.M.
pollinate flowers, it gives them
what they need to go back to
their hive to make honey.
Butterflies are one type of pollinator. Can
you name three more?
