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
Tropical Fruit Salad
Papayas, mangoes, coconuts and bananas – walking through a jungle and seeing things like that makes you think you can't possibly still be in the U.S. But you most assuredly are, in Southwest Florida, near Fort Myers, in fact. What would really surprise you is to see these things growing together – like right on top of each other – and thriving without any fertilizer or pesticide or even any (gasp!) water.
Once upon a time, Matthew Reece was a civil engineer by trade. That life proved unsatisfying. A change in the way he ate changed all the rest of it, too. Now Reece is practicing organic, regenerative agroforestry, operating a nursery and harvesting fruit for a variety of markets.
