Did you ever wonder where orange juice came from?

Some food we eat is grown far away from where we live. People grow food in their state. Then they send it by truck, train, boat, or plane to other states and even to other countries.





Look at the map. Most oranges and orange juice in the United States comes from California and Florida.



Why do you think people want food that us grown in other places? (Because they cannot get that food where they live)

Oranges come from trees and have to be picked. It takes workers to pick them. Then they send the oranges to a factory.

It takes many workers and machines to get orange juice ready to drink. A machine is an object that does work for people.



When orange juice is ready, trucks, trains, boats, and planes carry it to stores.



People who work at stores are called sellers. A seller is someone who has goods and services that others can buy.

People who shop in stores are buyers. A buyer is someone who pays money for goods or services.



Looking at this picture we see a person buying food from a worker who is selling food. Can you point at who the buyer is? What about the seller?
