We’re reloaded and ready to roll for Season 5 of Where The Food Comes From, debuting Friday Sept. 20 on RFD-TV! And we’re gonna show you some things you’ve never seen before.
We’ll shock you a bit early on in Episode 3 – get ready to say “Bye Bye Bananas.” And when we say bye bye, we mean it: In less than 10 years, there will be no more bananas. It’s as simple as that. Unless… We’ll show you the dice roll that’s currently underway in North Carolina, of all places, in a last-ditch attempt to save them.
We’ll take you to the suburban Atlanta mansion of NewsNation network anchorwoman Elizabeth Prann and her husband Darren O’Day, who pitched 15 years in the major leagues, last in 2022 with the Atlanta Braves, where he still works as part of the broadcast crew. The O’Days have turned their backyard into a pretty impressive farm – complete with chicken coop amidst the luxurious environs.
We travel back up to Wisconsin to make Gouda cheese with a Dutch woman who’s soon to become just the third female Grand Cheesemaster in that state’s great history. We’ll tell you a heartwarming Vidalia onion homecoming story that will prove young people are coming into farming. And we’ll meet some farmers in deep Southwest Florida who are (somehow) growing food with no irrigation. And we’ll show you a tropical fruit farmer who’s growing coconuts, papayas, mangoes and all manner of things the same way!
We’ll take you to the Got To Be NC Festival to show you how state fairs and festivals impact farming and the food you eat – and we’ll also keep track of the annual Pig Jig Barbecue Championship Cook-off while we’re there (yes, it was a tough assignment… we’re still full).
And believe it or not, we can tell you where all of your 4th of July potato chips come from, and we can pinpoint it right to a spot on a map.
We’ll take you there – and a whole lot of other places! – in Season 5. And remember to check out WhereTheFoodComesFrom.com for more from every show, including bonus footage, behind-the-scenes articles and the amazing Where The Food Comes From Cookbook!
