Read the passage. Then answer the questions.

Meadowgate Farmers Market

Every Saturday, producers bring goods to the Meadowgate Farmers Market. Elena's cornmeal stall starts with corn from a nearby field. Sunlight, rain, and soil help the corn grow. Elena and two workers pick the ears and let them dry. One worker feeds the dried kernels into a sheller machine. The sheller separates kernels from cobs. Then a mill grinds the kernels into cornmeal. The workers fill bags for the stall.

Omar sells wool hats. Sheep's wool is a natural resource. A worker uses shears to cut the wool. Workers wash the wool in tubs. A spinning machine twists the wool into yarn, and a knitting machine turns the yarn into hats. Omar checks each hat.

Priya makes berry jam. She gets berries from bushes. Workers wash the berries and stir them in a pot while the jam heats on a stove. Then they fill jars. Corn, wool, and berries come from nature. The people and the tools or machines help turn these resources into goods.
