Many students, and even adults for that matter, don’t realize that almonds grow on trees. Even more, they’re often unaware that California is an agricultural powerhouse, with more than 400 crops grown here.
Almond Board of California (ABC) offers several resources explaining how almonds grow, the history of California Almonds and the many ways to enjoy the versatile nut. These resources are designed to give elementary students a better understanding of where their food comes from and to expand their knowledge of agriculture, the environment and natural resources.
