Growing the Next Generation of Nature Enthusiasts with Tony and Belinda Jones

On this special summer episode, we are joined by Tony and Belinda Jones, the owners of Morning Glory Homestead Farm on St. Helena Island, SC. Tony and Belinda describe how their combined love of nature and family histories led them to become farmers and why they are so supportive of regenerative and sustainable agriculture practices (as well as what that means to them). Tony and Belinda share how they use their farm and their passion for education and their Gullah history to serve the community through their homeschool program, campfire dinners, and farm tours. As an added bonus, this episode features students from their spring homeschool program who reveal their love and curiosity for nature and what we can all do to protect it.

Conversing with Nature is hosted by Dr. Liz Fly, edited by Dr. Liz Fly and Nicole Pehl, and produced by The Nature Conservancy. Original music provided by Matt Williams, cover art designed by Amy Nguyen, and funding provided by Honda.
