Farms across Illinois account for a large part of the state’s economy. While many think of large farms growing corn and beans, smaller specialty farms are also playing a big role. We visit Rendleman Orchards to learn more, and bring the farm to table with some help from SIU’s Niki Davis.

Tune in Thursdays at 7:00pm on the WSIU stations: WSIU 8.1, WUSI 16.1, WSEC 14.1, WQEC 27.1 and WMEC 22.2 or access the WSIU local broadcast livestream online at pbs.org or via the PBS Video app. Get extended access to this program and more with WSIU Passport.
