Imagine them rated and sorted into a giant Directory, making them simple to find. WatchKnow--as in, "You watch, you know"--is a non-profit online community devoted to this goal.”

Virtual Tour of a Pumpkin Farm

Just in time for Halloween, you can take a virtual tour of a pumpkin farm here.

Your child can see how the land was prepared, seeded, maintained, and how the pumpkins grew and were harvested.

When you get to the site, you will see a picture of a field and the farm equipment that is used to prepare it for planting. There is simple text below the picture that describes what you are viewing. Just click the "next" arrows to follow the entire tour.
