A harvest project is a way of preserving food. It is a way of collecting food from crops and then storing it so that it can be eaten later, even after the growing season has passed. It's kind of like putting food in the freezer like Mom and Dad do, so that it doesn't go bad and can be eaten for a long time. For a harvest project, things like grains, fruits, and vegetables are collected from a field or garden, washed, and then stored away in containers. That way, you can enjoy the food even when it's not the growing season.
