Anna Jones

On this episode, Jessica goes “On the Hunt” with Barton and Latisha Nunnelly to discuss their inhumanoid creature encounters at the Land Between the Lakes and across Kentucky. LBL researcher Anna Caywood Jones joins to discuss her cryptid encounters and experiences at the Land Between the Lakes, and they all recount a series of events that happened to their group at a recent LBL outing. Cryptid researcher and investigator, Barton M. Nunnelly is a self-taught writer and artist. He was born and raised in Henderson, Kentucky where he has spent decades searching the bottomlands of the Bluegrass State for evidence of its diverse natural mysteries. His wanderings have brought him face to face with such creatures as Bigfoot, water monsters, black panthers, out-of-place wolves and other mysterious cryptids including a Thunderbird in 1998 - something no other living researcher can presently claim. Barton is the author of Mysterious Kentucky (2007), Mysterious Kentucky Vol.2, the Dark and Bloody Ground (2017), Bigfoot in Kentucky (2011) and The Inhumanoids: Real Encounters with Beings That Can't Exist (2009), he has appeared in documentary films and on several cable television networks, including the History Channel, the Travel Channel and the BBC. He spends his time writing books, feature films and walking the ancient creek beds in and around Henderson, Kentucky with his wife, Latisha. Strange and frightening events have followed Anna Jones throughout her life. In 2022, she spent two terrifying nights camping in the woods of the LBL. Since then, she has returned many times searching for the truth with a group of like-minded friends. You can find her adventures on her YouTube channel, Kryptic Kentucky.

#204: Organic grain farmer Anna Jones-Crabtree shares an emotional glimpse into the real and challenging issues she and her husband Doug face as they try to align their nature-first stewardship practices with the reality of operating in an economic system that favors extractive agriculture. Anna spoke this past September at our Churchtown Dairy event in Hudson, New York, Real Organic: A World Movement. Anna Jones-Crabtree and her husband Doug own and operate Vilicus Farms in northern Montana where they manage thousands of acres of mixed grains and lentils alongside beneficial plantings for pollinators and other wildlife. She holds a masters degree in engineering and served as the Lead of Sustainable Operations for the National Forest Service. https://vilicusfarms.com/ To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit: https://realorganicproject.org/anna-jones-crabtree-at-churchtown-2024-farming-with-nature The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince. The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations). To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit: https://www.realorganicproject.org/farms We believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.

In today's episode, we welcome Anna Jones RN, BSN, not only because of her expertise in birth but to hear her lived experience birthing twins vaginally. Anna's journey as a twin mom who successfully delivered vaginally is not only inspiring but also educational. Her experience challenges the prevailing trends in twin births and offers valuable insights for all expectant mothers and birthing people, twins or not. To provide context, let's look at some statistics: According to the National Institute of Health, 3.4% of pregnancies are twin births. From 1995 to 2008, cesarean rates for twin births increased steadily from 53.4% to 75%. This means that currently, only about 25% of twin births are delivered vaginally, making Anna's experience relatively rare. Anna Jones a registered nurse, birth consultant, & mom of 4 wild boys with a passion for helping mothers feel informed & empowered in their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences. After completing her senior capstone project in the antepartum/postpartum floor & then working as a nurse in labor & delivery, she saw the lack of birth education first hand every day. Seeing others have less than experiences simply because they “did not know” was the fuel behind the creation of her business & personal podcast “A Better Birth”. She is passionate about the enabling women and birthing people to empower themselves with information so they can make confident, informed decisions and have an experience that feels right to them. In this episode, we'll explore the factors that contributed to Anna's successful vaginal twin birth, discuss the current medical practices surrounding deliveries, and examine how informed decision-making can impact birth outcomes for everyone. Anna will share her personal story, including the challenges she faced and the strategies she employed to achieve her desired birth experience. Her story is particularly significant given the statistical trends, and offers a unique perspective on unmedicated birth. What struck me the most about Anna was her her ability to advocate for herself through the entire process. She incorporated food, movement, mindfulness and gratitude into her birth prep which led to the birth she desired. She also strongly advocates for choosing the people you want in the birth room which can make ALL the difference to your experience. Anna is all about empowering people with education and choices so they have the pregnancy, birth and postpartum they desire. You can hear her passion in our conversation and I hope it inspires you to educate and advocate for yourself in your own life and birth. You can reach out to her for consultation services as well as find her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abetterbirth_/ as well as on her podcast: A Better Birth https://open.spotify.com/show/1Kx5qv9EwJLFhJdZekJ39F?si=12f7d373199e444a You can find me at www.leshanelson.com and https://www.instagram.com/lesha__nelson/ Feel free to reach out to me with any questions and comments and leave a review!

#161: Co-director Dave Chapman joins our newest executive board member and Real Organic Project certified grain farmer Anna Jones-Crabtree for an interview by Al Gore at his Climate Underground Summit in November of 2023. Anna Jones-Crabtree holds a Ph.D in Civil and Environmental Engineering and is a registered professional engineer and an early accredited US Green building Professional. She has fostered a national sustainable operations effort for the US Forest Service serving as the first Regional Sustainable Operations Coordinator and as the National Sustainable Operations Director. She lives and farms in Havre, MT at Vilicus Farms with her husband, Doug. Dave Chapman owns and operates Long Wind Farm in East Thetford, VT, which concentrates on soil-grown glasshouse tomatoes that are produced year round. Dave and ellow Vermont tomato farmer Davey Miskell noticed the suspicious appearance of hydroponic tomatoes from other countries being sold with the USDA organic sticker several years ago. Their research led to a web of injustices affecting real organic farmers, including berry growers, dairy producers, grain farmers and more. The Real Organic Project was founded in 2017 and has evolved into an add-on food label. It is a100% farmer-led organization.

A crisis between town and country is as real as the day is long. It is a widening cleavage which manifests itself in everything we do: in our politics, in our education, in the way we work, in what we dream about, and yes, most crucially, in our attitude towards climate change. Look anywhere you please, and you will see a split between the town mindset and a country mindset, extending well beyond the western political discourse; spanning places as far-flung as Turkey, Brazil, Peru, the Philippines and South Africa. Take for instance Southeast Asia, one sees a similar divide, growing in its vehemence, as the consequences of the Russo-Ukrainian war take their toll; they are as the raging sea dashing against a rock on the global stage. It is against this backdrop of fury we must ask the question: What is it that sets town dwellers against those who dwell in the countryside? Today’s guest is Ms Anna Jones, a free-lance agriculture journalist, a broadcaster, a farmer’s daughter, and a Nuffield Farming Scholar. Anna was born in 1981 into a long line of farmers on the beautiful Walsh-Shropshire border, and her childhood memories are coloured with “bottle feeding, pushing sheep down the race, riding in the stock lorry with Dad and getting told off for riding the bales.” While farming undoubtedly courses through Anna’s veins, her childhood ambition, as far as she can remember, was to become a journalist when she grew up, without even knowing what exactly journalism actually entailed. Thus it was that upon turning 18 years old, Anna left home for the first time to enrol at the University of Central Lancashire, where she read journalism. Anna was the first in her direct family line, stretching right back to her pauper agricultural labourer ancestor who was born in 1777, to go to university and move to a city. After graduating in 2002 with a BA Hons in Journalism, Anna worked for several regional media houses, including the Wolverhampton-based Express and Star, the biggest-selling regional evening newspaper in Britain. Her big break came in 2006, when she joined BBC One’s Countryfile as a researcher, where she remained for 12 years. During her tenure at the BBC, Anna worked in various capacities on Countryfile, Radio 4’s Farming Today, On Your Farm, Costing the Earth and the Archers, reporting mainly on agricultural issues. Anna’s career at the BBC took an unexpected turn after winning the Nuffield Farming Scholarship 2016/17 and began investigating into how the media portrays farming and country life to the public. Thanks to the scholarship, Anna travelled around the world and discovered a deep disconnect between the “metropolitan mainstream media and a distrustful and defensive farming industry,” which profoundly affected her. Armed with her scholarship findings, Anna resolved to “motivate farmers to step up and share their stories.” Thus it was that in 2018, she left the BBC to set up, Just Farmers. Just Farmers is a not-for-profit organisation “that gives farmers and growers the confidence to tell their stories with pride through free Media Education workshops, while helping members of the media find independent farmer case studies to talk to.” Anna is the author of Divide: The Relationship Crisis Between Town and Country. In this episode, we discuss the topic “Climate Change: A Crisis Between Town And Country.” Look up Episode 010 of Conversations with Stephen Kamugasa, and please subscribe to the Conversations with Stephen Kamugasa podc

Debbie Wosskow and Anna Jones were introduced in 2015 by a mutual friend, and found they had a common passion around empowering women. They quickly identified a need for professional female networking, which is why they left their CEO jobs and created AllBright, a professional community for smart-minded women. At the heart of AllBright is the belief that women need to support one another, to help make the world a better place for smart-minded women to collaborate, upskill and achieve their career ambitions. Today on The Wallet: 1/ In 2018, Anna and Debbie launched the Allbright Member’s Club in Mayfair, but were forced to close it down because of the pandemic in 2020. They explain how they overcame the unprecedented adversities and adapted to the ‘new normal’. 2/ Raising capital and dealing with investors is difficult for female founders in the best of times, and they tell us how AllBright managed these hurdles during and after the pandemic, and why it’s harder than it sometimes looks. 3/ Women need to feel financially confident so they can achieve their goals. Debbie and Annie share why they think having money conversations is integral to making this happen.
