Product Description
See how Bonton Farms is changing lives in South Dallas through a one-hour farm tour.
Bonton’s mission is to transform lives by disrupting systems of inequity. What started out as a garden in a small lot has grown to two fully functioning farms, a Farmer’s Market, a Café and Coffee House. The farm continues to grow organic food and hope for a better tomorrow right in the Bonton community, but it also addressing more of the barriers residents are up against so they can access all seven human essentials. Working alongside residents to transform the community, Bonton supports its neighbors in redefining the norm in their community so they may have a fighting chance at life.
Bonton knows that every human being has the potential to live a healthy, prosperous life if they have the right nutrients and support. Before Bonton was were established, access to healthy food in Bonton was non-existent. Because of that, the cardiovascular disease rate in the area is 54% higher than the rest of Dallas, and the rate for diabetes is 45% higher and 58% higher for cancer. The nonprofit realized you can give someone all the fresh produce in the world, but it won’t make a difference if they don’t know what to do with it. That’s why Bonton created nutrition programs that provide residents with nutritional counseling, cooking classes, and general health and wellness guidance.
