Farm TV

Where food comes from. With most Americans now generations removed from farm life, they are also distant from understanding the story of agriculture. In an effort to change that. Chip Carter of Southeast Produce Weekly is the creator and host of a new TV show called Where the Food Comes From. Speaker2: This was kind of the goal of Southeast produce weekly in the first place. When I started this in 2016 was to get a prime time TV series that really peels back the label and introduces people to the faces behind the farms. As I had traveled and started to get to know these people, they weren't brand names to me anymore. They were friends and they were fantastic people, and I felt like America would really, really respond if they started to get to know these people. What can we Speaker1: Expect to see on where the food comes from? Speaker2: We're telling the story of Barry, and we worked with a Florida farmer whose dad started with a pushcart in New York City one hundred and ten years ago. So what a rich family story for them to tell. And Gary has since become really an international player in blueberries, strawberries, raspberries. But then we go up to University of Florida and we talk as a blueberry experts there because a fascinating piece of story that folks just don't realize the royalties that drive research since 1965, when Gatorade was invented, that was the leading role the producer for the University of Florida. Speaker1: The show airs Thursday at 9:30 p.m. Eastern on RFD-TV.
