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
Baseball, News And Chickens?
We keep telling you farming happens everywhere – in the country, of course, but also in cities and suburbs, on rooftops, in parking lots... and, amazingly, in the backyards of luxurious homes like the one owned by Atlanta's O'Day family – TV news veteran Elizabeth Prann (NewsNation, Fox, CNN) and Darren O'Day, who pitched 15 years in the Major Leagues and is now part of the Atlanta Braves broadcast crew. Though neither come from farming backgrounds, over the last few years they've really caught on.
When Darren was still pitching, Elizabeth started some small gardening projects with their three kids. They weren't especially successful – a few inch-long carrots was about the best of it. But when Darren retired after the end of the 2022 baseball season, things got serious. Now their perfectly manicured Atlanta backyard is home to a flock of well-loved chickens and a wide variety of crops! They don't just talk the talk either – they've put in the time to learn what makes it work. And they put in the time to keep making it work.

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.
