In celebration of National Ag Day, Bayer Hawaii has unveiled its new Hawaii’s Farm to Table activity book for children.

Created to help teach about the important role that farmers play in food production – from planting seeds and caring for crops to harvesting and delivering fresh produce to their customers – this 36-page book is chock full of fun, creative activities that explore where some of our foods come from. 

Hawaii’s Farm to Table follows the adventures of farmer Sam, Kona the worm and Leilani the bee as they learn about farming and growing food – and discover, among other things, that pizza doesn’t grow on trees. The island-inspired activity book was illustrated by Ileana Soon and Lori Nishikawa.

“Bayer is deeply committed to agriculture, and we have tremendous respect and appreciation for the hard-working farmers who produce an incredible array of agricultural products for consumers around the planet,” said Monica Ivey, corporate relations lead for Bayer Hawaii.  “We hope that every youngster who opens the activity book, along with their parents, will learn a lot from its varied activities, including coloring, planting seeds, playing games, writing and drawing.”

Bayer team members on Oahu, Maui and Molokai will also be giving away a limited number of hard copies of Hawaii’s Farm to Table at select community events, while supplies last. 

On a national level, Bayer is a proud sponsor of National Ag Day, an annual program that celebrates the dedication of America’s farmers and farm families and is observing its 50^th anniversary this year.
