You were probably surprised in Part 1 of this episode to find out that your 4th of July potato chips come from a small area of North Carolina. What you won’t believe, is where the farmers who grow them are going from here.
In Part 2 of this one, we’ll meet some more of the great growers who make the North Carolina potato deal special. We’ll also show you how those taters get sorted and packed. You’ll meet the national reps from the National Potato Council and Potatoes USA who help put ’em on every plate.
And we’ll introduce you to a man who’s in the process of taking his North Carolina potato deal to Cuba. That impoverished island is struggling to feed itself – seeds from North Carolina potatoes will fill the gap.
