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.

Cooking With Fire

We discovered barbecue before we even discovered how to tame fire. And once we figured out how to make fire on purpose — and control it — nothing changed the world more. That happened about 750,000 years ago. Astonishingly, even though we had all the ingredients, we didn't perfect the process until about a century ago, when the good folks at Fresh Air Barbecue in Jackson, GA first fired up the pit and opened their doors.

Now how we cook is changing fast — some cities are banning wood-burning ovens in restaurants. BBQ joints and home chefs are fast converting to electric or propane fired cookers. A future where we cook without fire is foreseeable. We thought we better get the story down right before it fades away. And nobody does it better than Fresh Air.

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!
