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 4 is here and we’ve got more great stories to share! For starters, we made our way north to Wisconsin for a lesson in corn from a 12-year-old farmer who already knows what he’s doing, and a 95-year-old farmer who’s still learning new tricks every day! Back south we stop in at Clemson University to make blue cheese – and we visit a robotic premium dairy down the road where the milk for that cheese comes from. We tell our first big consumer brand story with the folks from Splenda as we visit their first-in-the-U.S. stevia farm. We discuss the disappearing art of cooking with fire with our friends at the legendary, 100-year-old Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson, GA. We’ll follow up with season one friends in the Florida citrus world and Nat Bradford’s family farm in Sumter, SC. And right down the road is another creative farming operation, the Old Tyme Bean Co., where we’ll unearth some rare treasures. What’s the deal with food safety? Well, we can tell you there is no such thing as the “three-second rule”. And then we’ll wrap up the season on-campus at UGA with what’s sure to become America’s new favorite game show, Fruit Or Vegetable! You would think you already know – we promise you don’t!
