Andrew and Rie Discover What Makes The Best Peaches 

As a farmer's daughter, I cried hearing this family's story of hope, pride, and struggle. Our family farm is coming to an end, but I'm so glad theirs isn't. Keep growing, friends!

hearing the passion the farmer has for her peach farm and its history all the way to the verge of tears is amazing

Andrew: meticulously picks two peaches, as requested Rie: "I got 3"

This is such a touching video - the passion and love Nikkiko has for the farm really shows and is so inspiring. I can definitely relate to some other commentors on how farms like Matsumoto and the produce they sell are just so different and of better quality than what you can find at a supermarket. I would happily buy from farms like Matsumoto over supermarkets any day but sadly, finding places that sell are getting so much harder

I'm so glad Rie and Andrew can travel together in-person again! Their friendship and passion for food and cooking is so sweet and delightful.

the cheekiness when rie said “i got three” “WHAT”

I started a 100 tree orchard 4 years ago, and I bought Suncrest peach trees after hearing this family's story. My family tasted our first Suncrest peaches from our own trees this past summer! Amazing.

Despite being in the hands of the fourth-generation owner, this is still a true Japanese farm. They're doing the same steps done for those gorgeous melons, mangoes, and apples that are very expensive in Japan. And that sun-induced coloring: the reason why Japanese apples are consistently red or gorgeous is because workers go through all the trees in an orchard and turn each fruit so all sides get equal sun. Crazy. But that's the Japanese way for you. Also, did Rie's ladies get to meet Andrew's? Did they all go to the spa at the same time? These are the questions that need answering yo XD

loved hearing how passionately nikiko talked about her family's farm and legacy. i would love to visit masumoto farm someday. so much respect for hardworking farmers - thank you for everything you do.

Nikiko’s explanation of shaping reminds me of yukitsuri, a Japanese garden technique popular in Kanazawa of tying tree branches with rope to bamboo poles to preserve ornamental trees in winter!

I was totally engaged how Andrew and Rie presented a favorite summer fruit, the peach . And , made it blossom thru the Masumoto Family Farm. Nikiko was heartwarming and articulate in sharing her story and farm life.

Wow, just wow. This video is simply beautiful. Not only were the farm owners really enthusiastic about their profession, but they were also very knowledgeable and explains their story in such a detailed way. The colors of the video are a feast for the eyes, from the pastel colors of Andrew's kitchen to the soft/pale colors of the farm footage, all just very aesthetically pleasing to the eyes and blends really well with peach colors in mind. This video is a masterpiece

The pride she has for her farm radiates as much as her golden yellow peach sides 💛 I’d love to see a video getting to know you all better! I know we •know• you from past videos but I’d love to see all 4 talk about your past experiences & how you got to this point in your culinary journeys Also idea for food video - food misconception.. like how peanuts grow underground or why a tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable. Like a “I was today’s years old when I found out _____” something about food haha

Don't forget peach wine. Driving from Florida back to Connecticut, my parents always stopped in Georgia to get a bottle of peach wine. Sort of a tradition for us. 🍑

Nikkiko's passion and knowledge is amazing! She made me tear up when talking about her Dad and the bulldozers. Also, I learned so much from this video, so thank you!

Her parents must be so proud because she is truly representing her farm and the essence of why farmers do the work they do. I hope people support Matsumoto farm!

Best part of the video - 18:10. That's one happy dog. I loved this video, and how emotional she got when she explained her dad saving the orchard that others had advised to bulldoze. She's obviously in love with her orchards and her family. Beautiful.

giving us the dog's names, bless you. also getting to eat fruit straight from the source is always so delicious. I should check out farms near me.

I want to hug this girl. She's so passionate about her job

This is a wonderful and informative video. I also appreciate showing the dog’s names because they’re adorable.

LOVE this video. Being able to see that there are still farmers fighting the good fight and not mass producing gives me hope for the future. Nikiko's story was also so emotional, hit me right in the feels!

I appreciate the cameraperson and editor clearly realizing that dogs would be the remedy to the stressful peach picking around 18:00

This was such an unexpectedly emotional video about peaches

Your cinematography in this video is absolutely beautiful. It must have been a blast walking through the farm with the dogs following you. It's no longer peach season on my end of the world so I'm just watching and craving. 😭😭😭

18:11 The dog is such a mood lol

This was not the video that I expected to bring me to tears. Thank you for this beautiful story.

I'd be completely okay with A.T.E publishing a video of nothing but footage of the dogs.

This video is channeling the calm, chilled, sweet and golden side of summer in the best way. Thanks for bringing it back to us ☀️

I'm just so glad you guys can now shoot together! I appreciate the care you put in making sure the story of the farm is told in a unique and informative way. PS can you guys do strawberry next time? 🍓

This feature gives life to more sustainable practices from farming to our tables. How I wish there'd be more exposure for these traditions and methods of food production (and consumption). Great job, ATE!

Their story is so inspiring & touching. Love to see the pure joy of farming.. the passion for what you do. 100% need to support farms like this. Thank you for this video!

This is such a great video. Shows the very essence of farming and the procedure. Also because it is a family owned farm you can see how differently they work and the pride they have for this farm.

Omg, I haven't even watched this yet and I so hope she still calls them "peachies"

This lady is so happy. Her joy is actually radiating

Ah yes Rie is here and so is the Sunshine 🌻

This is one of the most heart warming and wholesome episodes on this whole channel. I love it so much!

This was amazing!! So moved by the passion of the farmer and her families story. Well done and Thank you for preserving not just the fruit but your forefathers legacy and for the labor of love.

THANK YOU so much for sharing and giving a voice to this wonderful farm

Every part of this video was just so so beautiful. The story of the farm and the passion they have for their produce brought tears to my eyes.

This is one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever watched on RU-vid. I’m crying over the incredible love this family has for their craft. Thank you for sharing this with the world.

Beautiful, beautiful story. Kudos to all the farmers growing our food. 💚

LOVED this. Thank you so much for making this video. I have such admiration for the Masumoto family, they truly embody and live the American spirit.

What a wonderful video. Hearing her passion for what she does touched me. I wish nothing but the best for her ❤

So I cried. 🥲 So beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 💗

I love this! Please keep featuring more small family farms and their stories!

the peaches grow so packed together and i never seen that before. They look so amazing and good !

Her voice is so sweet and her true passion is clear.

this is such a beautiful video. you can feel how much love, and passion she has for the farm and the trees c:

Never eaten their fruit, but listening to the passion of the folks growing it - you just know it will taste good.

Thanks for this video, Rie and Andrew and the rest of the crew (behind the scenes). I loved the history of this Masumoto farm, the different types of peaches that farm produces given its size, and how breweries uses their fruit for their drinks. And JAM!!!!! Much appreciated video about this fruit!

We need more videos about farms and the families that put so much hard work and love into growing the food we enjoy so readily! Hopefully it'll remind us not to take it for granted. Make this into a series, please!!

Beautiful and touching. So glad ATE is starting to cover small scale farmers that really care about their land and the craft of farming. I love the attention to detail.

The exposure the farm is about to get is going to be amazing, so happy to hear this incredible story!

wow this is such a great content. the story not only behind the fruit but also of its farmers /growers. amazing. and with my 2 faves, Rie and Andrew. hoping to something more like this in future.

What a wonderful small farm. I'm so glad it survived and is still thriving. All due to the passion and dedication of the Masumoto family and their workers.

peaches are my favorite fruit so I've loved all the peach videos this year. thanks for the special series :,)

Thank you for sharing this amazing farm.

I will never look at fruit the same way again. This is everything. Thank u for sharing!

I don't think I've ever enjoyed a food video as much as this one. This is beautiful. Thank you!

It was a beautiful video 💕💕Please do more of these.. I loved everything about this💕

thank you. A touching loving story of farmers and farming

What a BEAUTIFUL video! Lovely story, amazing photography, delicious sound editing... And I'm like salivating a lot now

What a wonderful host and such a great story about the farm. I like this idea of learning more about a smaller producer - whether it's a farmer, knife maker or chef/cook.

love this new series, this is lovely through and through.

I had to stop the video to read the article from her father and it just gave me so much more respect for the thing they do!

Thanks so much for making this video! I was definitely curious to hear from folks at the farm after Rie's previous peach video. So glad you went back to the farm to film more (or edited existing extra footage) for this part 2. :)

Thank you so much for sharing! Years and years ago I was able to visit the Masumoto farm and “buy” a tree for the day! It was such an incredible experience and my mom and I have been dying to go back ever since. The best peaches I have ever had in my life!

WOW. This is just so touching, inspiring, insightful. Thank you a lot for bringing this story to us, bravo A.T.E team!

This is such a wholesome video...made me calm

I hope they'll create more videos like this. Love it!

That peach farm was amazing! I'd gladly pay more (not outrageously more, of course) for such a distinctive produce.

The doggies guiding&walking along them are so freaggin' adorable :3!!

Loved this video, super interesting to watch. Looking forward to more of this series!

Beautiful food video. I can taste the peaches and feel wonderful seeing the orchard and dogs.

This was so comforting to watch

This is fascinating! Thanks for posting this.

really lovely story of a small family peach farm. I really like that you cover both the story and the food, keep up the great work guys!

This was such a beautiful video. I lack the words to describe it!!! I cried a bit, I smiled a lot, and now I'm desperate to eat peaches, and maybe hug a peach tree!! All my love, respect and admiration from Brazil

Can you guys please do an episode about pumpkins? I bought some butternut squash and a Hokkaido pumpkin, but I don't know what to do with it. Please help.

love the vibes of these videos

What a beautiful video! Most people have no clue where food comes from and what kind of work goes into growing it! Bravo!

I really like this video! I'd love to see more where you visit farms. Do a root vegetable! Or possibly some type of seafood going on a boat with them.

Her passion for the farm truly warms my heart ♥️

This passion this lady had is damn near inspiring

Love seeing you two together...you guys are the best...I so miss Worth It!!!

i couldn't help but smile throughout the entire video. the love and admiration nikiko has for her family's farm is so tangible, i couldn't help but tear up with her. this was such a sweet video. thank you so much for featuring the masumoto family farm. 🍑💕

Videos like these really inspire me to keep pursuing my food technology degree. I really owe Worth It and About To Eat a lot when it comes to my motivation and love for food

A Central Valley Gem! Their peaches are amazing. 🥰

What a great video. I truly loved it. Thank you.

It's so nice to see Andrew and Rie travelling and eating together, like physically. I am getting high hopes that Worth It series might soon be back (fingers crossed).

I've been refreshing my feed for the last hour waiting for this, and as always: EXCELLENT

Oooooh Peach Cobbler and ice cream is definitely where it's at! Also, I think the dogs just hanging out were my favorite part of this. :P Really cool that their farm is such a personal affair though!

its a heartwarming feature story, love it

Just discovered this channel. Happy to see Andrew etc with their own channel now!

Where do I begin? I am a fan who started watching worth it, and then i went into looking for each cast to see if they had their own channels. I eventually fell in love with worth, and through that entire series I can say, the crew has done an amazing job. One of the reasons is because I think I got to see crew grow. More specifically, I think Andrews growth shows in his respect towards food overall, from his methods of work executing any particular recipe, his mindfulness and care when it comes to food, and the interview questions for those business that the crew is show casing. It’s honestly such a beautiful and enlightening an experience when the person you all interview shares personal stories; in this case a daughter/grand daughter who is 4th generation? Wow. Ty @A.T.E., keep up the great work! Blessings ❤️🙏🏼💯 !!!

Love these videos with farmers 💛

welled up when she was talking about the bulldozers and the struggle to keep those peaches growing. thank you for pushing through!

Oh yeah... I remember reading epitaph of a peach! It was for class, I definitely remember learning about this farm.

That shot towards the end with the sunset and the dogs and Andrew & Rie made me want an About To Eat calendar and I’m absolutely not kidding

This makes me want to see more documentation about this kind of stuff. The farming aspect.
