This week, we’re digging into how a little boysenberry patch blossomed into the theme park juggernaut known as Knott’s Berry Farm, how Gilroy’s beloved Garlic Festival is making a comeback with garlic ice cream, garlic fries, and a whole lot of heart after tragedy, and how one farm family’s whisky dreams turned into a smooth reality with the help of a historic distillery.

But it’s not all sweet harvests and spicy festivals—we’re also talking about an alleged agroterrorism plot involving a dangerous fungus and international smuggling straight out of a spy novel.

We'll finish off with some fun fair food facts as a palate cleanser.
