It’s an online game or sorts where you grow your own food and follow it through several stages, from planting it to it being on the shelves for sale.

There is also a whole host of great information available, from great recipes for you to try out to what produce you can buy locally in your area.

A great addition as well is that for each person who signs up and takes part the Council will donate two pounds of flour, to Operation Homefront, an organisation that helps U.S. troops and their families who are in need. Of course it is totally free to sign up and take part so this is a great way for everyone to get involved and help out.

Great website

How Wheat Works is a great site I came across a few days ago, as the name suggests it aims to teach about how wheat works but in a fun way – it’s an interactive game that follows the process from farm-to-fork. You virtually grow your own kernels through four stages over four days and then decide what you want to make with it. I am currently at the stage of harvesting my wheat kernels. I have loads of friends who are hooked on farmville on Facebook that I am going to share the link with as I am sure they would really enjoy it!

The best thing is that for every person who signs up and participates the Wheat Foods Council are donating two pounds of flour to Operation Homefront, an organization that helps out US troops and their families in times of need.

So not only is it fun and educational to us, it’s actually really helping out people in need.
