We obtain our food from many different parts of plants:

- The fruit of plants such as apples

- The roots of plants such as parsnips

- The leaves of plants such as spinach.

This trail leads you around the farm's vegetable patch. See some of the crops which are grown on the farm and see if you can tell what part of the plant they come from.
