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
They Grow Potato Chips? Part 2
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.
