Farms Across America
“We love our farmers. They put the heart and soul in the heartland. They build our economy from the ground up, rooted in honest hard work and hope for the future. In the words of Paul Harvey… “On the 8th day, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God made a farmer.’
We struck out across the country in search of the quintessential American farm, and boy did we find it. From Maine to Alaska, the seasons may be different, but the farmers – they share a deep love for the land and they’re committed to building a sustainable future for all of the FARMS ACROSS AMERICA. And for all of US.”
Part of the award-winning Made In America documentary series, developed, executive produced, and hosted by Kate Tucker for Consensus Digital Media in partnership with Remedial Media.

Comeback Evolution
The first published collection of poetry and writings by Walter K. Delbridge, who wrote in obscurity for decades until he met Kevin Tucker on the back of a truck dock outside a bookshop. There, they struck up a lifelong friendship that would connect Delbridge with Tucker’s daughter, Kate, who would eventually become his editor and agent.
From rising star of the civil rights era to outcast 'schizophrenic,' Delbridge reclaims his dignity in poetry and prose, constructing beauty from fragmented structures of oppression.
Tucker’s voice infuses the book with biographical context and editorial commentary in a subtle duet with Delbridge’s own special kind of jazz.
Glass Half Full
“Beer brings us together. So does whiskey, wine, and all the things we brew, distill, shake, stir and sip. Every state has their own favorite brew, so raise a glass with us to the distilleries and breweries helping to build our communities, strengthen our economies, and take care of the environment while they’re at it. Oh, and don’t forget the coffee roasters, we’re gonna need them in the morning.”
In this award-winning series, Kate Tucker tours America’s top craft breweries, tasting their finest with the founders and brewers making great beer sustainably.
