Family, Faith, and Farming
Risk Management Training
Gives Farmers an Edge
By Jon Ostendorff, North Bridge Communications

Tony Jones picks green beans on his farm in St. Helena Island, SC.

SAINT HELENA ISLAND, S.C. - The day
after Belinda and Tony Jones married, she helped
him box up his apartment to get ready for a move
to a new assignment with the U.S. Army.
They traveled the world together and raised a
family in the years that followed.
Everywhere they went, they made sure to
practice a little agriculture. It was mail-order
chickens for the kids to raise once. Planting their
own garden in Europe another time. No matter
where they were assigned, the Jones' managed to
find some place to plant something.
Family, faith and farming runs deep for Belinda and Tony Jones. Both came from families that
valued growing and raising food.
"I always enjoyed that so I was really blessed
to marry someone who has a similar background
and who loves to garden and plant things,"
Belinda Jones says. "So, we decided that,
together, we would continue and build on that for
our children."
And build they have.
When it was time to retire from the Army, the
family came home to South Carolina and took
over 12.4 acres that was owned by Tony's family
on what was once the McTureus Plantation.
They created Morning Glory Homestead.
The farm recently marked its first year of commercial operation.
Tony Jones does most of the planting. Belinda Jones handles the marketing with a Facebook
page, Instagram, a blog and a website.
Their oldest daughter is away at college but
they still have two children at home. Daughter
Sarah helps her mom with starting seeds and
son Peter helps his father with maintenance and
repair of equipment. Both help with harvesting
for deliveries.
