Jon Turner: Veteran on a Life-Giving Mission

Iraq War veteran Jon Turner takes us from an ambush in Ramadi to a homestead in Vermont, where he’s found a way to heal a traumatic brain injury through farming. Hands in the dirt, boots on the ground, Jon Turner is on a mission to build community and serve our country as a farmer, father, teacher and always, as a veteran.


Hosted by Kate Tucker, Hope Is My Middle Name is a podcast by Consensus Digital Media in collaboration with Reasonable Volume. Read about Jon Turner and Wild Roots Farm Vermont at garden-and-health.com.
