WELCOME TO THE SHOW!

We’re most often out in a field with our noses in the dirt. But you’ll also find us in lab coats and restaurants and packinghouses, Congressional and State offices, college and industry research facilities – anywhere there’s a story to be told about food and farming.

Where The Food Comes From taps into the passion and commitment of the people who feed us. There are easier ways to make a living, as anyone who’s ever seen the show knows. But from the farms to the research laboratories to the offices where people make the rules that regulate it all, the people involved in agriculture care deeply about what they’re doing. They make up just 1.5% of the population – but they proudly bear the weight of keeping the rest of us fed.

That’s the power of Where The Food Comes From – peeling back the labels and letting the world meet some of the people who put food on their plates.

FEATURED EPISODE

Season 4, Episode 03

Robot Dairy

​The machines do all the work at Hickory Hill Milk in South Carolina and the pampered cows get on-demand service. They make a premium creamline milk you still have to shake. It’s so good it’s used in world-famous Clemson blue cheese.

The Dorn Family are multi-generational dairy people in South Carolina. They were once part of the conventional dairy system, selling their milk to a co-op like most farmers. But they made the bold decision to try to do something better. They did, it worked, the results are marvelous. And in the next episode, we’ll follow Hickory Hill milk from Edgefield, SC to Clemson University, where we’ll turn it into famous Clemson blue cheese!
