Making new food from fresh foodMaking products from Washington crops is a big industry here because our state has a variety of quality crops, lots of clean water and cheap energy to manufacture them, and nearby seaports for easy exporting.More than 40,000 people work full-time to preserve Washington's harvest by canning, freezing, drying or making juice, jam, salsa, chips, candy, bagels or zillions of other delicious food products.
An interactive game that challenges you to match the raw crop with the processed food
