Where do bread, eggs and veggies really come from? This what comes from the farm page follows food from the field to the store. It’s a farm to table worksheet and a free printable for curious kids.
Why Kids Love This Worksheet
The page shows two sequences with arrows. Up top, a farmer scatters seeds across a plowed field with a barn and tractor behind him, and next to it a combine harvests ripe grain while straw bales sit in the field. Below, a farmer gathers eggs in a henhouse surrounded by hens, nest boxes and egg baskets, and beside that a truck loaded with produce crates and milk cans drives up to a farm market. Under each scene is a blank box where kids write what’s happening.

Did You Know? From Farm to Table
Farmers plant seeds in spring or fall; today a machine called a seed drill usually does it, but long ago it was done by hand. In summer, a combine harvests the grain – it cuts the stalks and separates the kernels all in one go, which is why it’s called a combine. The kernels become flour for bread and pasta, and the leftover straw is pressed into bales. Hens give us eggs, and cows give milk that turns into cheese, butter and yogurt. Many farms sell what they grow right at a farm stand or a local farmers market.
What to Do with Your Finished Page
Fill in the blank boxes with words like “plant,” “harvest,” “collect eggs” and “sell,” then explain the steps to each other. Next, plan a breakfast and figure out which part of the farm each food came from.
