Understanding Production and Money

Learning by doing, from seedling to finished produce and sales, we learn how it all leads to monetary exchange

---

At Epple Farm, we tackle a common challenge: estimating the effort required to complete a product and ensuring we receive fair compensation. We use vegetables as our teaching tool, illustrating the intricate product cycle from seedling to harvest.

This journey involves numerous variables that require careful attention - think water, sunlight, fertile soil, and the right time to harvest. Each step, from growing to packaging, plays a crucial role in transforming our crops into valuable products. But the process doesn't end there. Once we’ve successfully sold our produce, we face the next critical task: deciding how to allocate our earnings.

Determining what portion of the proceeds should be reinvested into the farm - whether it’s for more seedlings, hiring additional workers, or improving our methods—is essential for sustainable growth. At Epple Farm, we believe these steps encapsulate the fundamentals of any successful business.

Our hands-on approach allows children to grasp the reality of economics and profit-making in a tangible way. Thanks to our dedicated staff, we create an engaging and educational environment for our young learners, ensuring they understand the importance of hard work and thoughtful planning from an early age.
