After a hard day of playing, Bob and his friends sure are hungry.  It’s time for lunch!  Who wants to make a pizza?  

Empty supermarket

Bob heads out to the supermarket.   He opens the doors and...whoah! 
The supermarket is entirely empty! There’s no food at all? What is going on here???  Where did all the food go???

Join Bob the Vid Tech as he embarks on an all new adventure to explore how food gets to our breakfast, lunch and dinner tables.   Where does milk come from?  Or eggs, apples, tomatoes and turkey?  Did all of these things start at a farm?  Can kids get involved?  And where did all that food go? Follow Bob the Vid Tech to find out!

Fruit & Vegetable Farms

Fruit and Vegetable Farm

Bob takes a tour of a fruit and vegetable farm and learns how things are planted and how they grow.  He learns about tilling the land, planting the seeds, watering and the people that do all the work!

Empty supermarket

Farmers grow corn, apples, lettuce, squash, string beans, carrots, potatoes peppers and so much more!  Have you ever tried to grow a tomato plant?  What do they need to survive?  And is a tomato a vegetable or a fruit?

Animal Farms

So what about those hamburgers Momma Vid Tech just made for the family?  And that giant glass of milk Bob drank this morning?

What exactly does 4-H mean?   Can Bob and Sid the Vid Fish compete with the best of the best?  See if he has what it takes!

The Finale

Empty supermarket

Bob has learned everything about food—from how you plant it, grow it and how it gets to our tables—but he still can’t explain why the grocery store is empty!  Where did the food go?
