Farms in Switzerland look a lot different than the farms in America because the farms are more dense in Switzerland because they do not have enough space for a farm that would be a typical sized farm in America. The main crops grown in Switzerland are wheat and potatoes, and also farm grapes and apples. ]]> 2019-10-07 13:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/prestonettin2025/mdy1zfi86hnv/wish/394424261 prestonettin2025 https://padlet.com/prestonettin2025/mdy1zfi86hnv/wish/394426228 These are the Jura Mountains. Most of the mountain range is in Switzerland, but a quarter of it is in France. In the winter time and when it snows, it is especially good for skiing. It is the main place for skiers to take on a challenge because of the hard slopes.

Kin groups are people from a different country and live together to learn about Switzerland’s culture and religion together. Most people get together because they are somehow related, but they have never met each other.  They have been doing Kin Groups, and Ueli Maurer says that is a good way for people to get to know each other and about their lives.  People also celebrate holidays by gathering with family.
