Vermont’s Veteran Farmer: Jon Turner

Veteran on a Life-Giving Mission: Jon Turner


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.

“A lot of vets struggle with finding their purpose and knowing how to continue to serve and protect, whatever form it may take. With farming, it is mission oriented, it’s a renewed sense of purpose. It’s not life-taking, it’s life-giving. ”
