We had an amazing opportunity to join the cast and crew of Bringing it Home with Laura McIntosh out in a California peach, plum and nectarine orchard this summer. Bringing it Home is a show that goes behind the scenes to give viewers an opportunity to learn a little more about the food they purchase, where it comes from, who produces it and how they can prepare it.
What’s unique about the show is that it’s totally mobile! The cast and crew carry the whole operation on two big trucks that go on-location all over California (in this case in the orchards) for each new show. It was pretty cool to see the lights, mic-booms, steady-cams, mobile kitchen, semi trucks, generators, power cords (Basically a full studio) set up around peach, plum and nectarine trees. And all in a few hours - they worked quick!
Take a look at the photos of their mobile set.

The set kitchen was fully functional!

The morning segment was more focused on cherries and apricots, but the afternoon they brought on Debbie Shahvar, owner of Buttercup Grill and Bar to prepare her famous peach crisp. The video below shows the actual segment they produced right in front of us!
