WELCOME TO WHERE THE FOOD COMES FROM!

We’re a little more than a TV show…

Season 4, Episode 06

A Day Without Sunshine

We made the pilot episode for Where The Food Comes From four years ago, telling the stories of how Florida citrus growers have tried to stand their ground against a lethal disease called greening that’s wiped out half of Florida groves in the last 20 years. We focused not on the loss, but on the innovation that’s transforming the industry — and the Sunshine State. For this episode, we went back to the exact spot where we filmed to see what's happened in the interim.

The answer was mind-boggling. In a quarter-mile stretch, we went from gnarled, infected citrus trees that were being knocked down and burned, through a lunar landscape that will soon be home to something new, to the staggering sight of hundreds of acres of citrus growing in giant screened enclosures. They’re not only safe from greening, they’re also producing 2.5 times the fruit of typical groves — and it’s all perfect.
