Modern day conveniences, like the tire shop for example, were not always around. In 1870, if you wanted it, you or someone else had to make it.

Chip Carter takes us on a trip back in time to see how farmers made it all happen.

Catch brand new episodes of “Where the Food Comes From” every Thursday at 7:30 PM Eastern on RFD-TV.
