American imports are massive. Everything from machinery, appliances, furniture, pharmaceuticals and so much more. Yes, we are even getting our prescription drugs from foreign countries. I realize it’s a global economy, but I also know we have to take care of business at home first. I don’t know...
Not all shoots are dangerous. My goodness we have seen enough of that — like climbing cargo cranes at the Port of Savannah — and a somewhat laid-back shoot is most welcome. November 17 Where The Food Comes From visited Circle F Meats in Baxley, GA. Meat! Sounds a bit out of the ordinary for us....
“Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s …” the crew from Where The Food Comes From. Why are we up in the sky? The answer will soon follow. Where The Food Comes From visited the Port of Savannah, GA November 18. How about a few fun facts? You are probably saying, No Donna, not again!...
Picture this: a hot summers day, watermelon fields, watermelon queens and gnats. When I say hot, I mean hot! Think about what a 110-degree day feels like! And when I say gnats – I am not talking about a few – I mean a gazillion gnats! Not one of the best situations to film in. Oh well, “The show...

Nestled in Raleigh, NC is the amazing State Farmers Market and Restaurant. Raleigh is referred to as the “City of Oaks” — it’s quite obvious why when you look at the beautiful scenery around the grounds. Knowing how much I like fun facts you may be asking yourself (but I highly doubt it) if there...
“DOWN BY THE BAY – WHERE THE WATER BUFFALO ROAM – BACK TO MY HOME I DARE NOT GO.” What exactly is this? It is a traditional children’s song made popular by a singer Raffi. Okay, these are not exactly the right words – it’s actually where the watermelons grow. So why open the article with this?...
If you read Larry's Tree Redux — Prequil Behind-The-Scenes: Travels With Larry Smith – you have already met some of the great people in Avery County, NC.

Actually, I have never been to one of the beaches, but they look beautiful on google and I do love a good beach.
