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
The Watermelon Capital Of The World
Watermelon is grown around the world and in 44 U.S. states. It's one of the most popular global fruits. But year-in and year-out, tiny Cordele, GA is named Watermelon Capital of the World for the sweetness and volume of watermelon that flows from there — there's even a giant state of a watermelon slice to welcome visitors — along with a giant, decommissioned Titan missile that's visible from the interstate and draws travelers from all over as they pass on Interstate 75. We'll talk with some farmers and community leaders about how little Cordele has risen to such grand heights in the watermelon world.
