Lee Glover, a fifth-generation farmer on Johns Island, has a deep-rooted connection to the land. From his island childhood in the 1950s, walking through fields of crops near his home, to witnessing the transformation of the island over decades, Glover's passion for farming and his tight-knit community shines through.
In his book, "Field Trip", Glover takes us on a captivating journey through the history of Johns Island, preserving its unique heritage and highlighting the enduring bond among its people. From the peak of the tomato industry in the 1980s to its eventual decline by the year 2000, Glover was intimately involved in the drastic changes that shaped the island's landscape. As the farming industry waned, tourism and development grew, providing Glover with a firsthand account of the island's evolution.
Not only did Glover cultivate tomatoes, cucumbers, and other crops for many years, but he also packed, sold, and shipped his products, extending his reach beyond Johns Island. Collaborating with fellow farmers in Florida, Kentucky, and even Belize, Glover embraced the opportunity to expand his knowledge and engage with the broader agricultural community.
Outside of his farming endeavors, Glover finds joy in spending time with his beloved family, including his children and grandchildren. He actively participates in his church, where he has served as a dedicated lay reader for over twenty-five years. When he's not with his loved ones, Glover enjoys tennis, travel, and connecting with long-time friends from his days on the farm.
With an enthusiastic voice and a wealth of experiences, Lee Glover captures the essence of Johns Island's history, forming a vibrant narrative that brings the island's stories to life.
