Barbecue is a time-honored tradition around the globe, a treasured part of virtually every world cuisine. We happen to believe it was perfected at Fresh Air Barbecue in Jackson, GA, nigh on a century ago. There aren't a lot of barbecue schools. You don't go to a university to learn how to do...
We discovered barbecue before we even discovered how to tame fire. And once we figured out how to make fire on purpose — and control it — nothing changed the world more. That happened about 750,000 years ago. Astonishingly, even though we had all the ingredients, we didn't perfect the process...
Growing citrus under cover in giant screened in enclosures has huge advantages — no scars, no blemishes, no lethal citrus greening disease. But it is a huge investment obviously. So what happens when there's a storm? What's if it's a hurricane? The answers are a bit surprising!
We made the pilot episode for Where The Food Comes From four years ago, telling the stories of how Florida citrus growers have tried to stand their ground against a lethal disease called greening that’s wiped out half of Florida groves in the last 20 years. We focused not on the loss, but on the...
It's in there — those rich blue veins in creamy cheese that make you either love it or loathe it — but how does it get there? The "blue" in blue cheese is mold, of course — not ordinarily something we want to see in our food. But in the cheese world, sometimes mold's your best friend. This bonus...
In the last episode, we took you to Hickory Hill Milk in Edgefield, SC to show you their robotic dairy and tell you about their super-premium creamline milk (you still gotta shake it up!). Now we’ll follow that milk from Hickory Hill to Clemson University where we’ll turn it into amazing blue...
Robots milking cows? It's a thing — very much like the robotic arms that you see in auto manufacturing plants. But these robots are so gentle the ladies never seem to notice. In fact, it's just part of the pampering the herd at Hickory Hill Milk gets 24/7. Which is all part of making it the finest...
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...
Citrus is the star of the show at Sunsational Farms, but the veggies are pretty impressive, too. Grown hydroponically on a lot right next to the store and juicery, they're big, bright and beautiful and all a part of the show.
Remember old-school Florida? It's still alive at Sunsational Farms in Umatilla. The farming's all modern, including hydroponic veggies. But the vibe is classic Florida Old School. Two generational Florida citrus families banded together to create a place for family fun that harks back to days gone...
