This week on Deep Dives & Light Laughs, we sit down with Jon Belber, Education Director at Friends of Holly Hill Farm—a nonprofit working farm and outdoor classroom dedicated to regenerative agriculture and hands-on learning.
Jon shares the story of how Holly Hill balances growing nutrient-rich food with cultivating eco-literacy for all ages, from school garden programs to seasonal farm initiatives. We dive into what regenerative practices really look like, the challenges (and joys) of teaching kids in the fields, and the ways small daily choices can add up to big impact for our planet. He also shares his path to Holly Hill and the mission behind the farm.
You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for your food, a few practical tips to reduce waste at home, and ideas for how to get involved—whether that’s volunteering, visiting the farm stand, or supporting school gardens.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
