The legendary Vidalia Onion might be the greatest accident in the history of agriculture. It's hard to imagine living without 'em now, but they actually didn't even exist until the 1930s. And it was another 50 years before the rest of us found out! In the 1930s, a farmer in Vidalia had a contract to deliver some regular onions. There was a late freeze that took out his crop. No more seedlings were available locally. Finally, he had a train car load shipped from Texas. But when the crop came up, the onions weren't hot... they were sweet! You know the rest of the story... or think you do. We'll tell you how that happened, show you how Vidalia onions grow and are harvested and -- bonus! -- host Chip Carter also introduces us to some of his favorite people in the world in his musical tribute to the region, "Sweet Vidalia".

Bo Herndon didn't come from a farming background. But he always knew what he wanted to do. He didn't have much help getting going ? but he's certainly made the most of it since. John Shuman was away at college when he got a call telling him to come home. The family farm had gone bust. He'd planned to come back and join when he graduated. Now there was nothing left. Until he rebuilt it all.
