We take oranges, grapefruit, lemons and limes for granted. They've been around our entire lives. They're always there when we want 'em. But did you have any idea that in just a few years they may all be gone? There's a lethal disease called citrus greening decimating Florida citrus. In the 20 years since it arrived, Florida has lost half its citrus land ? some 500,000 acres of groves. Farmers are nothing if not ingenious. And adaptable. Some have found better ways to protect their fruit. Others have expanded into producing other commodities ? like blueberries and peaches. We'll also take a side trip to Port Everglades, FL to try to do a little detective work as to how the bug that brought greening to America arrived ? and to show the pivotal role our ports play in keeping us all fed.
Citrus is an endangered species ? Florida has already lost half its orange groves to a lethal citrus greening disease. In Part 2 of this episode, we'll meet a Frenchman who's devoted his life to saving the Florida grapefruit industry. You'll also see hundreds of acres of trees growing under cover in screened-in closure (like a giant back porch the size of several football fields). Florida growers have a choice: Stand and fight, quit, or adapt. We'll introduce you to people who've taken every path.
There's always food growing somewhere in America. That's part of the real miracle of nature. Fruits and veggies are in full swing in Florida in the coldest months of the year ? we start this episode in the Everglades in early February with our friends from L&M Farms. Then we roll up to Georgia in spring to visit Baker Farms, one of the largest growers of greens anywhere. Then we head for North Carolina in July to follow the crop as it continues marching north before starting all over again in Florida the next year.
They call Georgia The Peach State, and with good reason. But it?s also home to a family farm and orchard that might just have been where ?agritourism? was invented. Peaches, pecans and goodies aplenty ? Lane Southern Orchards in Ft. Valley has it all.
