The Answer was a FARM

Like seeds planted on a farm, everyone is born with great potential, but their futures depend on the right nutrients. Since emancipation, Bonton residents have been denied essential components to healthy well-being and opportunity. Bonton Farms exists to impact neighborhood nutrients at the root level to empower the community to reach its potential.

Bonton Farms can mobilize volunteers from individuals to groups of 100 or more! Whether you are a corporate group, church, individual or just a bunch of friends who want to do something cool on a Saturday, we have volunteer opportunities to make a meaningful difference.
