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
A Little T & L
Where the food comes from doesn't much matter if you can't get it from there to where it needs to be. Enter transportation & logistics. Start to finish, the process is magnificent. In this episode we visit the Atlanta State Farmers Market — not the typical Saturday morning market you go to with your family — and see how the food keeps moving 24/7. Then off to Nickey Gregory Company, which supplies grocers in 11 states overnight with fresh produce. Then on up to Raleigh, NC, to L&M Companies, with farms across America, distribution in 48 states, and their own coast-to-coast fleet of trucks that someone has to keep up with every minute.

SEASON 2
In Season 1, you met some of the people of farming and saw what they do up close and personal. There’s plenty more of that in Season 2 (including a look at how we’re likely to grow food on Mars, with 50-foot tomato vines hanging from the ceiling) but we also expand our reach to focus more on the heart of farming, the ways the amazing people who feed us give back to their own communities. That might mean working with organizations like Feeding America and gleaners like the Society of St. Andrew (who actually harvest leftover food from commercial fields) or efforts they spearhead themselves, from volunteering for the local fire department to starting support groups to actually stocking a fleet of buses to deliver fresh produce on a pay-what-you-can model to food deserts. We also take a look back at our roots, with a special two-part episode “Where The Food CAME From” where our host spends a day working as a farmer in 1870. You get an ag trade show, where people who grow food by the ton meet up with people who buy it by the ton.
