Join celebrity chef and author Lidia Bastianich as she travels across the United States in a celebration of culture through food. In Homegrown Heroes Lidia pays homage to the men and women of our military and all they’ve sacrificed for this country. Homegrown Heroes looks at veterans who return home and find farming to be a path back to civilian life.

Seven poignant veterans’ stories take Lidia from the heart of Appalachia in Loom, West Virginia to Richmond, Kentucky and Anaheim, California, and prove that farming, beekeeping, and raising livestock can help people reconnect in a meaningful way to the community.
