Farm To Plate BHS New Tech
Project Description
This project is about how much our state depends on the faming and the agriculture for jobs. We need to be aware of how local policies affect us.
About Our Food Item
For the Farm to Plate project, we picked peaches as our food item. Peaches are sold from farmers markets, grocery stores, and chainstores. Most peach farms can be found by the west and east side of Michigan in the lowerr pennisula. They are also grown on high grounds like the peach ridge are in northwest Grand Rapids. "A peach tree can bear up to 66 pounds (30 kg) of fruit each year. Peaches grow best in USDA zones 5 through 9. Peach trees require a chilling period of between 600 and 900 hours at a temperature of 45°F or less each winter in order to fruit the next season." (HarvestToTable).
