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.

They Grow Potato Chips? Part 1

When you open a bag of potato chips, do you ever stop and think that those were grown on a farm? Or wonder where that farm was? Or who the farmer was who grew 'em? Potatoes grow all over the U.S., but they have specific seasons. You have to use fresh potatoes for chips because of moisture content (it takes four pounds of potatoes to make one pound of chips!).

Most times of years, those potatoes are coming from multiple locations. But in the summer – including the all-important 4th of July – a tiny part of NE North Carolina is the only game in town for the 3/4s of Americans who live east of the Rockies. That means when we all celebrate America's birthday, most of us are eating chips grown right here!

SEASON 3

You’ve seen the show go to farms and fields, labs and packinghouses looking mostly at the world of fresh fruits and veggies. That’s still the main theme for Season 3. But we’ve got some new topics too, like wild-caught seafood, beef and — in the Season Premiere — something we never expected in an episode we call “Where The (Water) Buffalo Roam.” This season we’ll also take a look at how agriculture impacts the Port of Savannah; veggies like broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage; the Watermelon Capital of the World; more from our onion friends in Vidalia; how pecans have led to the rebirth of an American icon — Stuckey’s; and you’ll see the indispensable roles bees play in helping feed the world (yes, you’ll get to peek inside the beehive!). One spoiler: Winnie The Pooh had the whole honey thing wrong. Bears actually hate the stuff. You’ll see!
