Elmo, Grover, and their friends Blippi and Meekah are visiting a farm! Watch them learn how to grow fruits like strawberries, meet animals like cows and horses, and learn how to operate an excavator!
00:16What did the one strawberry say to the other strawberry?
00:21You're my very best friend!
00:25That's very funny, Strawberry Mika!
00:28Elmo!
00:30Wow! Elmo's a strawberry, too!
00:33Elmo loves being a strawberry almost as much as Elmo likes eating them!
00:38They're so yummy!
00:40Oh, they are!
00:42Do you know where you can grow a lot of nice strawberries?
00:46I know!
00:49On a beautiful farm!
00:52Yeah! Elmo's so excited to be on a beautiful farm today!
00:57Ta-ta!
00:58Where's Farmer Grover?
01:00Farmer Grover!
01:02Farmer Grover!
01:03Help!
01:06I'm in a real jam here!
01:08This cute little goat thinks I am a snack!
01:11Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
01:12Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
01:13Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
01:14Farmer Grover, farmers grow strawberries, they do not dress up at them!
01:19That's right, Elmo!
01:20That's right, Elmo!
01:21A farmer is someone who takes care of animals, like goats, and helps grow the food we eat,
01:27like strawberries!
01:28Yeah!
01:29And carrots!
01:30Elmo hopes that Elmo can feed an animal this yummy carrot!
01:35Feed it to this goat!
01:37Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
01:39You know, Elmo thinks that goat made strawberries, not carrots, Grover!
01:45Luckily, we'll see lots of cool animals, and fruits, and vegetable plants here at Tanaka
01:53Farms in Irvine, California!
01:56I'm sure one of the animals will want a carrot!
01:59Oh yeah!
02:00Today we get to be farmers, and help out Farmer Kenny!
02:03Elmo gets to be a farmer?
02:05That's right, Elmo!
02:07Oh, let's go!
02:09Farmers have a lot to do!
02:11One, two, three, four!
02:14Let's get ready to explore!
02:17Woo-hoo-hoo!
02:19Wait for me!
02:21Just need a moment to catch my breath!
02:24Oh, look at all these little baby plants!
02:32Yeah!
02:33These are seedlings!
02:34They're young plants that grow from seeds that will one day grow into big plants!
02:39That's right!
02:40And these will grow into pepperoni pizza plants!
02:44Yep!
02:45Uh, Grover?
02:46Hmm?
02:47These are tomato plants!
02:48Yeah!
02:49Really?
02:50Yeah, look!
02:51Tomatoes!
02:52Farmer Kenny gave us some extra tomato seeds!
02:55You're right here!
02:56Ta-da!
02:57Would you like to do some planting with us?
03:00Oh!
03:01See?
03:02Plants grow from these tiny seeds!
03:05And look!
03:06These planters have lots of cozy little spaces for the seedlings to grow!
03:11Oh!
03:12Here's an empty space we can use!
03:13Oh, cool!
03:14Just like we need things to grow, so do plants and animals!
03:17Hmm!
03:18Hey!
03:19Can you name something that plants need to grow?
03:22Elmo knows something!
03:23Oh, what is it Elmo?
03:24Soil!
03:25That's right!
03:26Soil is another word for dirt!
03:28Oh!
03:29And we have some soil right over here!
03:31Yeah!
03:32Here we go!
03:33Get some soil!
03:34And we'll put it into the space!
03:35Oh!
03:36Oh!
03:37Oh!
03:38Elmo knows another thing we need!
03:39Oh!
03:40What is it?
03:41Seeds!
03:42Oh yeah!
03:43Elmo can plant some seeds!
03:44Ooh!
03:45Perfect!
03:46Open it here!
03:47Okay!
03:48Alright!
03:49Here you go little plants!
03:50Here!
03:51Now we cover the seeds with more soil!
03:54Oh!
03:55Oh!
03:56And plants need water to grow!
03:57Here you go little friend!
03:59Have some water!
04:00Good job, Grover!
04:01Yeah!
04:02Good job!
04:03Plants also need lots of space to grow!
04:06And lots of sun!
04:11Ah!
04:12This is the perfect spot!
04:15Lots of sun here!
04:17Yay!
04:18This is great, Grover!
04:21You know what?
04:22We can't forget love!
04:24Plants need love to grow too!
04:27Oh yeah!
04:28Elmo loves you little plant!
04:30You are going to grow big and tall!
04:32Just like your Uncle Grover!
04:34Wow!
04:35We did it!
04:36We did it!
04:37We did it!
04:38We never ever quit!
04:40We did it!
04:41Whoa!
04:42What's that?
04:43Wow!
04:44Whoa!
04:45What's that?
04:46Wow!
04:47Whoa!
04:48Hello!
04:49Hey everybody!
04:50Hello!
04:51Hey everyone!
04:52Thanks for helping me do some planting!
04:53I'm just using my excavator to get the ground ready so we can plant the seedlings into the
05:04ground!
05:05Whoa!
05:06Excavator!
05:07You want to learn how?
05:08Yeah!
05:09Yeah!
05:10Let's do it!
05:11It's the perfect excavator we can practice with!
05:14Awesome!
05:15Oh, Blippi!
05:16Why don't you and Elmo go ahead?
05:18Grover and I will plant more seeds!
05:20Okay, Mika!
05:21Yeah!
05:22Okay, Elmo!
05:23Let's pretend to roll on tracks!
05:24Let's do it!

05:26We love you!
05:28We love you!
05:30Whoa!
05:31Look, Elmo!
05:32It's an excavator!
05:33Yeah!
05:34Um, what's an excavator?
05:37Oh!
05:38An excavator is a vehicle that helps to smooth and level the soil!
05:42Ah!
05:43And it also moves things like rocks to prepare the soil for planting!
05:47Go!
05:48Oh, Elmo!
05:49Huh?
05:50Are you ready to prepare the soil?
05:51Ready!
05:52Okay, let's do it!
05:53Okay, just get the controls here!
05:54Yeah!
05:55It's pretty easy, yeah!

08:31Excavator
08:31It looks like we have some strawberries ready to be harvested
08:39Oh, do you know what harvesting means?
08:41It means picking the fruits and veggies
08:43That are ready to come off the plant
08:44Yep, and farmers grow and harvest lots of foods that we eat
08:47Oh, how do you know when the strawberries are ready to be picked?
08:51Well, we know when the strawberries are ready to be picked
08:53They're nice and red and shiny
08:54But the green ones, they're not ready to be picked yet
08:58Go ahead and pick some nice red ones
09:01And I'll meet you at the barnyard
09:02Thanks, Farm Academy
09:03Bye-bye
09:04Oh, I have an idea
09:07Why don't we try collecting ten strawberries together?
09:11What?
09:11Hey, will you count the strawberries with us?
09:16Great!
09:18Elmo, please pick the first strawberry
09:21Yes
09:21Go for it, Elmo

09:46Wow
09:47Ten strawberries all together
09:51And one carrot
09:54You know, Elmo would still really like to feed this carrot to an animal
09:58Any chance you want Elmo's carrot?
10:04Oh, I didn't think so
10:06Hey, Elmo, I think I know where we can find some other animals
10:13We should visit the barnyard
10:15Where Shell Marie is taking care of the farm animals
10:18I bet there's an animal there who eats carrots
10:20Yeah
10:21Come on
10:22Let's go
10:22Woo
10:23No
10:25No
10:26No
10:26Oh, hi, Shell Marie
10:29Hi

10:33Hi, Shell Marie
10:34Hi
10:35Hi
10:35Hi, Felix
10:36Would you like a carrot?
10:37Uh, no, thank you
10:39Oh, I don't think chickens eat carrots, Elmo
10:42Oh
10:42Yeah, we like to feed chickens smaller things like grain and corn
10:47Corn?
10:47Where?
10:48Over there
10:49Thank you
10:50Thank you
10:51Oh, um, Michelle Marie, what else do animals need besides food?
10:56Water, a safe place to sleep and to eat, and friendly pets
11:02Oh, that's nice
11:03Would you like to pet the cow?
11:05Yeah
11:06Oh, what's your name?
11:07This is Donut
11:08Donut
11:09Donut
11:10Hi, Donut
11:11Oh, you're so nice
11:14Thank you
11:15Yes
11:16Yes
11:17Um, Shell Marie, Elmo's wondering
11:19Yeah
11:20Do cows eat carrots?
11:22Actually, they do
11:23You can go ahead and feed her your carrot, Elmo
11:26Really?
11:27Oh, great
11:28Okay, gently hand it to her like this
11:30Hi, Donut
11:31Here's a carrot for you
11:32Ooh
11:33Isn't that yummy?
11:35Oh, no
11:37Elmo did it
11:38Elmo fed the carrot to the carrot
11:40Yeah
11:42Yeah

11:54Oh, look, there's a sheep
11:58What?
11:59And a horsey
12:00No
12:01Do not forget the goat
12:03By the way, anybody know what goats like to eat more than strawberries?
12:07Pancakes, maybe?
12:08PB and J?
12:10Actually, goats and sheep like to eat things like grass, grain, and hay
12:16Oh
12:17Oh, and Elmo knows that horses eat apples
12:20Mm-hmm
12:21That's right
12:22These animals look hungry
