Bonton Farms
We believe that humans, like plants, need the right conditions to flourish, which is why we're driven by these seven human essentials: health & wellness; economic stability; safe & affordable housing; transportation; community; education, and access to fair credit. Like any ecosystem, if these conditions become unbalanced, the entire system begins to fall apart. Bonton Farms exists within a South Dallas neighborhood called Bonton. Our community is filled with beautiful, courageous people who have fought to remain spirited in the face of a hundred years of systemic inequities working against them. Existing within Dallas county, approximately 40% of our neighbors live below the poverty line. Bonton Farms was created to dismantle these systems of inequity and replace them with the tools all humans need to thrive. Powered by the community, we are reimagining a world where essential life tools are no longer a rare commodity–and thriving is considered the norm.
