Farmers have a really important

job. Without them we would have
no food to eat. It’s a lot of hard

work, but it can be fun too!

– I woke up at 4am
FYI today! Crazy, right?
But you have to be up that
early when you live and work on
a farm. This weekend, I’m staying

on my friend Summer’s family
farm to learn what it’s like to be
a farmer!

So why did I have to get up at 4am?
Well, farm work starts very early.
Summer’s family grows lettuce, other
greens and carrots on their farm. The

greens get sold to restaurants that
use them in the food they serve ... that
same day! So the greens have to be

as fresh as can be. That means picking
them first thing in the morning!
