© Food – a fact of life 2007 First, the farmer makes soil mounds. The mounds are called beds.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Some farmers use a machine to do this. The machine is called a bedformer.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Next, the beds are covered with plastic.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 The farmer makes holes in the plastic and plants the strawberry plants. The plastic keeps the strawberries warm and helps them grow.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 The strawberry plants grow small white flowers.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 The flowers die and fruit grows in their place. Can you see the strawberries? What colour are they?

© Food – a fact of life 2007 When the strawberries turn red, they are ready to be picked.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Some farmers grow strawberries in large plastic tunnels. The tunnels protect the strawberries from bad weather.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Look at all these tunnels! How many tunnels can you see?

© Food – a fact of life 2007 When the strawberries are ready, they are picked by hand. They have to be picked by hand because they are too soft to be picked by machine. Can you see the pickers?

© Food – a fact of life 2007 When they have been picked, the strawberries are put into punnets. How many punnets can you see?

© Food – a fact of life 2007 The punnets are put into crates so they can be moved around easily.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Sometimes the strawberries are sold in a farm shop or on a market.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Sometimes strawberries are loaded into a lorry and taken to a supermarket.

© Food – a fact of life 2007 Do you like strawberries?
