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.
FEATURED EPISODE
Feed My Sheep, Part 2
We know food waste is a huge issue. Americans throw away about a third of what they buy at the grocery store. But did you know farmers are only able to harvest about 60 percent of what they plant on average? What’s left behind is either ugly, too large, too small, something that makes it unsuitable for sale but just as healthy, nutritious and delicious as its prettier cousins. We work with farms and organizations like Feeding America and Society of St. Andrew to show how they all pull together to help out. And we even pitched in and helped a little ourselves!

Season 4 is here and we’ve got more great stories to share! For starters, we made our way north to Wisconsin for a lesson in corn from a 12-year-old farmer who already knows what he’s doing, and a 95-year-old farmer who’s still learning new tricks every day! Back south we stop in at Clemson University to make blue cheese – and we visit a robotic premium dairy down the road where the milk for that cheese comes from. We tell our first big consumer brand story with the folks from Splenda as we visit their first-in-the-U.S. stevia farm. We discuss the disappearing art of cooking with fire with our friends at the legendary, 100-year-old Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson, GA. We’ll follow up with season one friends in the Florida citrus world and Nat Bradford’s family farm in Sumter, SC. And right down the road is another creative farming operation, the Old Tyme Bean Co., where we’ll unearth some rare treasures. What’s the deal with food safety? Well, we can tell you there is no such thing as the “three-second rule”. And then we’ll wrap up the season on-campus at UGA with what’s sure to become America’s new favorite game show, Fruit Or Vegetable! You would think you already know – we promise you don’t!
